The 2024/2025 EPL season started with a bang last weekend, displaying the attacking prowess of the top strikers in England. Notably, the defending Golden Boot champion Erling Haaland didn’t waste any time recording his first goal while helping Manchester City claim a 2-0 away victory over Chelsea. As the new season unfolds, Erling Haaland stands as the outright favorite for bookies after winning the Golden Boot for the last two seasons.

However, other big players like Salah, Ollie Watkins, and Alexander Isak are looking for the chance to take the title from Haaland. Here’s a preview of the EPL top scorer odds and bold predictions on who will end at the top of the list during the 2024/2025 season.

Best EPL top scorer odds
Erling Haaland – 8/11 Since joining the English Premier League, Erling Haaland has shattered multiple goal-scoring records, including the most goals scored in a season. The Norwegian sensation broke this record during his debut season with Manchester City and ended last season as the top scorer with 27 goals. However, he played four fewer games last season after suffering from an injury. In any case, Erling Haaland looks poised to extend his goal-scoring form once again this season. The 24-year-old is expected to keep receiving great service from the abundance of talents that the reigning champions Manchester City have around him and the odds rank him as the favorite for the Golden Boot trophy at 8/11 odds. Mohamed Salah – 11/1 An experienced Egyptian player, Mohamed Salah has won the Premier League top scorer trophy three times. While Salah has had to share the spoils with other players twice, he is expected to put up a strong challenge against Haaland’s quest this season. The 32-year-old seems to have adapted to the playing style of manager Arne Slot and he will attempt to record an incredible comeback while playing for Liverpool. Alexander Isak – 15/1 After starting slow in his Premier League debut where he only recorded 10 goals, Alexander Isak seemed to be on fire in the 2023/2024 season after recording 21 goals in 30 matches. While the Swedish forward was six goals shy of Erling Haaland’s tally, the 24-year-old is entering his career’s prime and that’s another reason he’s expected to put a strong challenge for the Golden Boot. However, the bookies agree that Isak remains among the favorites at odds ranging from 10/1 to 15/1. Ollie Watkins – 15/1 While 28-year-old Premier League striker Ollie Watkins hasn’t reached 20 goals in a single season, he came close in his 2023/2024 campaign when he recorded 19. However, Watkins’ contribution to Aston Villa’s thrilling success and fourth-place finish in the 2023/2024 season was significant and you can expect him to improve more this season. However, Watkins remains a player worth backing for the top scorer title at 15/1 odds.
