The English Premier League season has just started, which means that the resolution of all its intrigues is still a long way off. However, looking at the first games of the favorites of the season, we can already start to draw some conclusions. Let’s look at the question of the future owner of one of the most prestigious individual awards in English football – the Premier League Golden Boot.
The best predictions for today.
The favorite is obvious, and it has already gone down in history
Manchester City centre-forward Erling Haaland was England’s top scorer last season. The 23-year-old Norwegian scored 36 goals in 35 games in his first Premier League season, the best Premier League result in 56 years. Furthermore, no one in the history of the Premier League, which has been around since 1992, has finished the season with an average output of more than one goal per game.
By the way, the Norwegian scored more than one goal per game on average in the last draw for the Champions League, which became the winner of Manchester City. Previously, Haaland showed a similar performance in the Austrian Salzburg (29 goals in 27 games), as well as in the Norwegian national team, in which he scored 25 goals in 24 games.
Zakharyan is already a Real Sociedad player:

Only at Borussia Dortmund did Haaland fall short of the iconic goal-per-match indicator, but his stats in Germany remain impressive: 86 goals in 89 appearances in all tournaments. No wonder bookmakers are confident that Erling won’t leave anyone with a chance in next season’s Premier League goalscoring race. Bets on his victory are accepted with a coefficient of 1.40.
Which of the previous owners of the Golden Boot is capable of recovering the award?
Of all the Premier League Golden Boot winners, only three players made it at the start of the current Premier League season. In addition to Haaland, there are Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah, who became the league’s top scorer in 2018 and 2019, as well as Tottenham’s Son Heung-min, who scored 23 goals in the 2020/2021 season.
Lionel Messi is the most successful footballer in history.
Three-time Premier League top scorer Harry Kane left for the Bundesliga just before the start of the current season, greatly weakening the competition in the ranking of England’s top scorers. After all, it was Kane who came second in the Premier League goalscoring race last season with 30 goals.
Bookies estimate Son Heung Min’s odds at 26.0, and this is not surprising. The Korean has scored 24 of his 103 Premier League goals with Tottenham thanks to Kane’s assists. There is not much faith in the return of Son Heung Min’s performance in the context of Tottenham’s restructuring.
At the same time, Mohamed Salah scored his first goal of the season on Matchday 2 in Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Bournemouth. The previous match, his accurate shot against Chelsea was not counted after the VAR intervention. Liverpool struggle in the support zone, but the Reds’ attack is encouraging for fans and pundits alike. For Salah to score more in the Premier League, bets are accepted at 8.00.
Rashford will have his opinion?
Marcus Rashford can also compete with the leaders in terms of performance. The 25-year-old forward scored 17 Premier League goals last season and another 13 in other competitions. However, Manchester United’s poor start in the current draw has lowered Rashford’s prices, and bets on his victory in the goalscoring race are accepted at odds of 17.0.
What can the Netherlands prevent?
Manchester City won the treble last season, winning the Premier League and FA Cup, as well as the Champions League. Haaland has scored 52 goals in 53 games in all competitions. However, the “citizens” may find themselves faced with the “second season syndrome.”
Arteta points to the forward:
Crystal Palace – Arsenal. Arteta too early to think about the title
During the off-season, two important attacking players left the club. Ilkay Gundogan moved to Barcelona and Riyad Mahrez was tempted by a generous offer from Saudi Arabia. In addition, in the match of the 1st round, the leader of the “citizens” was seriously injured. Midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, according to various estimates, will miss up to six months.
Zakharyan had his first training at Real Sociedad.
Because of this, Holland was actually “on a starvation diet”. Josep Guardiola will need time to return the ball to the area. In the match with Burnley, Erling scored a brace, but in the FA and UEFA Super Cup matches with Arsenal (1:1) and Sevilla (1:1), as well as in the match of the 2nd day of the Premier League with Newcastle (1:0) the Norwegian seemed to have disappeared on the field and rarely found himself with the ball inside the penalty area.
Premier League Top Scorer Prediction
Erling Haaland is only 23 years old and is already the author of several albums. For a number of reasons, the second season with Manchester City will be tougher for the Norwegian talent than the triumphant last.
However, with the departure of Harry Kane to another championship, the only competitor for the Netherlands in the fight for the Premier League Golden Boot remains Mohamed Salah, who plays in a team with a large number of top players who They will “drop” some of their stats on themselves. So everything is clear with the winner in the fight for the Premier League Ballon d’Or, but Haaland will not be able to repeat last season’s performance.
Bet 1: Erling Haaland will be the top scorer in the Premier League with 1.40.
Bet 2: The Netherlands total under 33.5 goals in the Premier League by 1.85.
Express with a coefficient of 15.92.
