Take a look at the latest odds for Bournemouth to finish above Brighton in the 2026/27.
Bournemouth were perhaps the surprise package of the Premier League last season, finishing just three points out of the UEFA Champions League spots.
Savvy moves in the transfer market have brought the likes of Illya Zabarnyi, Dean Huijsen, Marcos Senesi, Milos Kerkez and Antoine Semenyo to the club, with all bar Senesi going on to net significant transfer fees.

For Brighton, next season looks to be about as continuity as much as anything else. The Seagulls, like their south coast counterparts, are excellent operators in the transfer market and may have got the better end of the deal as Jan Paul van Hecke trades places with Luka Vuskovic.
Pascal Struijk adds more depth at centre-back, with Zadok Yohanna providing another option on the right-wing.
Brighton's dismal run of form in the middle of last season, which saw them win once in 13 games, jeopardised their European aspirations, but improved results towards the end of the campaign saw them sneak the final European place on goal difference.
Brighton's previous European excursion saw them lose 14 points on the previous season, dropping from sixth to 11th, but their squad looks better equipped to compete on both fronts this time around.
