Bookies Make Bournemouth Most Likely Winners

With a roughly 57% chance of triumphing, the bookmakers aren’t giving too much away with their -135 betting odds for Bournemouth winning this Premier League clash. Sunderland are regarded as the least likely winner at +360.

Backing Bournemouth -0.75 at -105 on the Asian Handicap line means they need to win by two goals or more against Sunderland for a full payout. A one-goal success would see you get paid out on the -0.5 part and money back on the -1.0 part.

If you’re looking to bet on more than two goals, then Over 2.5 has the lowest price. Should you expect both teams score, then the BTTS Yes option is available at -149.

There are hundreds of markets which means lots of options to find a football wager for the latest Premier League game. The leading betting apps leave no stone unturned to provide a first-class service.
