The World Cup has concluded, and domestic leagues across Europe are gearing for a second-half run.
The bottom of the English Premier League is loaded with some big-name teams, and it will be interesting to see who is able to claw themselves out of relegation.

English Premier League Relegation Odds 2022
Note: All EPL betting odds are current as of Tuesday, Dec. 20, at BetMGM Sportsbook.
AFC Bournemouth (-175)
Nottingham Forest (-175)
Wolverhampton Wanderers (-110)
Everton (+165)
Southampton (+175)
Leeds United (+450)
Fulham (+800)
Aston Villa (+800)
West Ham United (+900)
Leicester City (+1000)
Brentford (+1200)
Crystal Palace (+1600)
Brighton & Hove Albion (+5000)
Despite currently being 14th in the table, Bournemouth are tied with Nottingham Forest for the highest odds of being relegated at the end of this season. They are only three points clear of Forest right now, so that can change at any moment over the balance of the season.
There are three teams that are currently in the Top 10 of the table that are featured in the odds of being relegated. Brighton, Fulham, and Brentford are long shots to be relegated, but the oddsmakers are not giving them too much respect right now for their hot starts.
It would be shocking if Everton were relegated. They are only one point ahead of Forest right now and will need to turn it around, or they will be on the way out at the end of this season.
English Premier League Relegation Best Bet
Wolverhampton Wanderers (-110)
Wager: 1 Unit
There is nothing from the first half of the season that gives me a reason to be optimistic that the Wolves will turn their season around. They are currently last in the EPL table with only 10 points. They are also the only team in the league who have yet to score double-digit goals, with only eight on the year.
Their offense has been lackluster all season, and draws are not going to get the Wolves out of the relegation zone. Without wins, they are going to be returning to the English Championship League for the first time since the 2017-2018 season. New manager Julen Lopetegui has a big hill to climb down the stretch.

English Premier League Relegation Longshot
Leeds United (+450)
Wager: 1 Unit
Under American manager, Jesse Marsch, Leeds United had been playing some inspiring football right before the international break for the World Cup. They have two wins out of their last three matches, including a win at Anfield.
Despite the recent success, Leeds are only two points ahead of Forest in the table and narrowly escaped relegation last season by only three points. This is still a team that can fall this season, and at +450, I’m taking this longshot prop on Leeds to be relegated at the end of the season.
