Betting isn't just about luck. It involves research and building your knowledge about the specific thing you're betting on.

Predicting which Premier League manager will be sacked next is no different.

We've compiled this guide to give you the best chance of getting your bet right. We'll take a look at the hows and whys of betting on the next Premiership manager to get sacked and give you some invaluable tips on how to choose your bet wisely.

Next Premier League Manager To Be Sacked Betting Explained

As you can probably guess from the name, next Premier League manager to be sacked betting involves betting on which Premier League manager will be sacked next.

One thing to bear in mind is that this doesn't mean betting on who will be the next Premier League manager to leave their club. It specifically means betting on who will be given the sack.

Let's look at an example.

Brendan Rodgers left Leicester City on 2 April 2023. At first, it was reported that this was by "mutual consent." However, it was quickly revealed that the Leicester board had taken the decision to sack Rodgers - not so mutual after all, it seems.

So, if you'd bet on Rodgers to be the next Premier League boss to be sacked, you would've been concerned by those initial reports. Luckily for you, your bet would've come through in the end (at Rodgers' expense, unfortunately).

As you can see, this type of betting can be slightly complicated. You need to take the same approach to it as you would with any other type of betting. That means doing your research.

Indeed, most bookies describe this market as 'next manager to leave' - so that the semantics behind a manager's departure do not complicate things when it comes to betting.

Next Premier League Manager To Be Sacked Betting Tips

Predicting who will be the next manager to be sacked from a cushy Premier League job can initially seem tricky. Yet, there are certain things you can look out for to help you make an informed betting decision.

Pay close attention to form

The world of Premier League football is ever-changing and - at times - bewildering. The good news is that one thing remains constant: it's a results-based game.

This means that the most important thing to pay attention to when making this kind of bet is form. As the old saying goes: "Form is temporary, but class is permanent." Unfortunately, this saying only applies to players and not managers. If the form of a manager's team is in the gutter, they won't be far away from winning the Premier League sack race.

Still, you need to pay attention to the level of the team before you bet on a manager being sacked.

A newly promoted team is usually involved in a relegation battle during their first season in the Premier League. That's why Steve Cooper has been given so much leniency at Nottingham Forest, despite the squad's poor form.

An established Premier League team like West Ham, for example, isn't expected to be flirting with the relegation zone. That's why David Moyes is under so much pressure.

Further up the table, if a team that's expected to qualify for the Champions League every season is floundering, the manager might struggle to hang onto his job. The sacking of Graham Potter at Chelsea is a good example of that.

It may seem obvious, but it's worth mentioning - the current Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, is pretty unlikely to get sacked, considering that his side wins the Premier League almost every season.

So, when predicting the next managerial casualty in the Premier League, focus on recent results. Just make sure that you also take into account whether that form is expected of that specific team or not.

Make a note of when a manager was hired

Another thing that impacts the likeliness of sacking is how recently a manager was hired. If they've only been in the job for a couple of weeks, then there's little chance of them being shown the door - even if the team is massively underperforming.

Even Nathan Jones' disastrous spell at current bottom club Southampton lasted for 95 days.

Timing is also important when it comes to a club taking the decision to sack a manager. Many clubs wait until they have a replacement lined up or until there's a pause in the season, such as an international break.

Before you make your bet, have a look at upcoming fixtures. If West Ham have a big game against one of their relegation rivals, the club are less likely to sack the manager before this game has been played.

Don't get swept up in hyperbole

If there's one thing that can be taken for granted, it's football pundits getting carried away with their opinions. The fleeting nature of football punditry means that influential voices are calling for a manager to be sacked one day, and then praising him the next.

Try not to be swayed too much by pundits' opinions. Yes, they can be right, but they're wrong a lot of the time.

Check the odds for the Premier League sack race

You also need to check the odds for which manager will be sacked next on the websites of major bookmakers.

As of April 2023, these are the current odds -

• Steve Cooper - 1/6
• David Moyes - 7/1
• Cristian Stellini - 25/1
• Julen Lopetegui - 25/1
• Jurgen Klopp - 25/1
