Bournemouth will be hoping to continue their improvements under Andoni Iraola in the Premier League.
The Cherries secured their best-ever Premier League finish last season, ending the campaign ninth with 56 points. Now the question is whether they can work their way into European football.
Read on for a full breakdown of Bournemouth’s outright odds for the 2025-26 Premier League season, including their prices for a top six spot.
Bournemouth odds to finish in the 2025-26 Premier League top six: Outright odds and predictions
Bournemouth have only been playing top-flight football since the 2015-16 season, with the exception of a two-year stint in the Championship following their relegation in 2020. In that period, they’ve never come close to securing a top-six finish. In their two campaigns where they’ve finished inside the top half, they were 23 points behind Manchester United in 2016-17 and 10 points behind Aston Villa last season.
However, things look extremely close this season. There are a lot of teams capable of qualifying for Europe, and sixth looks set to guarantee a spot. The Premier League looks as though it will get a fifth Champions League spot, passing the Europa League place down to sixth — without the need for any cup places being passed on.

Bournemouth odds to finish in the 2025-26 Premier League top half: Outright odds and predictions
Since making their Premier League debut in 2015-16, the Cherries have finished 10th or higher on two occasions — including one last season. In the other years, Bournemouth averaged a 14th-placed finish.
Indeed, the 2024-25 campaign was built on Iraola’s inaugural season in charge when Bournemouth secured 12th. However, they only registered four more total goals (58 compared to 54), while their defensive prowess must be commended.
Bournemouth conceded 46 times, which proved to be their best such return in English football’s top division. In fact, last season marked the first time their goal difference was positive (+12). Bournemouth also recorded their best win return of 15 matches and the fewest games ending in defeat (12).
| Team | BetMGM odds | Implied probability |
|---|---|---|
| Newcastle | 7/25 | 78.13% |
| Bournemouth | 13/25 | 65.79% |
| Everton | 1/1 | 50% |
| Fulham | 27/20 | 42.55% |
| Sunderland | 8/5 | 38.46% |
| Brighton | 3/1 | 25% |
Bournemouth odds to be relegated from the 2025-26 Premier League: Outright odds and predictions
After five seasons in the Premier League, during which Bournemouth achieved finishes of 16th, ninth, 12th, and 14th, the Cherries were relegated after suffering 22 losses under Eddie Howe’s watch.
Now in their fourth consecutive season back in the top flight, supporters are witnessing an excellent campaign. It would take a lot for them to drop into the relegation battle.
Bournemouth Golden Boot odds: Outright odds and predictions
It comes as no surprise to learn that Bournemouth haven’t provided a Premier League Golden Boot winner. They came very close in 2023-24 when Dominic Solanke finished with 19, leaving him eight behind Erling Haaland, the eventual recipient.
When Solanke left for Tottenham in 2024, Justin Kluivert ended up replacing his goals in 12 in 2024-25. Antoine Semenyo was the main man in the first half of the 2025-26 campaign but he has since left for Manchester City. Eli Junior Kroupi is Bournemouth’s remaining top scorer, though he won’t be fancied to win the Golden Boot at this stage.
Bournemouth PFA Player of the Year odds: Outright odds and predictions
The Cherries have yet to see any of their players win the PFA Player of the Year award. And they don’t have anyone in the running after Semenyo’s departure.
| Player | bet365 odds | Implied probability |
|---|---|---|
| Declan Rice | 4/6 | 60% |
| Erling Haaland | 2/1 | 33.33% |
| Bruno Fernandes | 10/1 | 9.09% |
Bournemouth ins and outs
Bournemouth have lost a number of key players over the past two windows. Their defence took a big hit in the summer, with Illia Zabarnyi, Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez all poached by bigger clubs. But the attack also saw Dango Ouattara and Jaidon Anthony leave permanently. There were many other departures too. And then Antoine Semenyo left for Man City in the winter window.
But January also saw Rayan sign from Vasco da Gama and the youngster has hit the ground running. Alex Toth was another January arrival, alongside Christos Mandas. The Cherries were busy in the summer too, with Djordje Petrovic, Bafode Diakite, Amine Adli, Ben Gannon-Doak, Adrien Truffert and Veljko Milosavljevic all coming in.
