Premier League betting tips and odds: Who will win the Golden Boot this season?

Erling Haaland won the race for the Premier League Golden Boot last season with 27 goals. Can anyone outscore Man City’s goal machine during the 2024/25 campaign?
A fit and firing Erling Haaland should have rendered the Golden Boot debate redundant.
Bookmakers rightly slapped the scraggy price of 1/8 on Man City’s top scorer in each of the last two seasons to claim the crown again, and he's started the campaign like a rocket.
However, Man City terrible run of form at the end of the 2004 saw Haaland's goalscoring antics tail off and now he's been overtaken by Liverpool's Mohamed Salah.
At the start of the season, we ruled out Haaland and suggested success would lie in an each-way punt, which, if you find the right bookie, can cover up to three places.
Alexander Isak was one of our picks, so congrats if you picked him up early doors
Cole Palmer, Ollie Watkins, Phil Foden, Dominic Solanke and Darwin Nunez also featured in our pre-season tips. The less said about most of those the better.
Now we've crossed into 2025, we can review where we stand and suggest a couple of others who might be worth a punt.
We’ve picked out a handful of each-way contenders for the 2024/25 Golden Boot.
Suggested bets
Alexander Isak each-way
Chris Wood each-way
Mohamed Salah
The Egyptian scored 18 goals last season, which was slightly below his usual standards.
He's closing in on 20 goals and if he continues to flourish, as he did in 2017/18 when he scored 32 goals in 36 matches, he'll easily claim the golden boot.
Erling Haaland
After rattling in ten goals in his first five Premier League games, Haaland only scored four more by the end of the year.
Fourteen goals in the first half of the season is not to be sniffed at, and there's still plenty of time for the big Norweigan to rediscover his shooting boots and catch up with Salah.
Don't rule him out just yet.
Cole Palmer
Cole Palmer finished runner-up last season as he rattled in 22 goals, nine of which came from the spot. It helps that he takes penalties, but we need to see more from open play if he’s to challenge for the crown.
Every goal holds equal weight in the race yet it’s hard to ignore the fact that nine of his goals came in an unlikely four-game spell against disjointed teams.
He's still snapping at the heels of Haaland and Salah, and if he can stay injury free can challenge at the top if Chelsea's good season continues.
Alexander Isak
Our pre-season each-way tip is going great guns and has a knack for being in the right place at the right time.
The Swede produced 21 goals last season and at the age of 24, there’s plenty of room for improvement.
The absence of European football will allow him to focus on the Premier League and he's in with a great shout of topping the list if Newcastle's good form continues.
Chris Wood
You'll be hard pushed to find anyone who tipped up Nottingham Forest's Chris Wood to be in the running for the Premier League top scorer.
Even Chris Wood has a look of surprise when he bangs in another.
Hats off to Wood, his entire career has been one long trip up and down the UK looking for a club that need a battering ram and now he's doing the business again.
Forest are showing no sign of easing off the gas, and Wood has plenty of scope to can on this run of form.
Ollie Watkins
England’s Euro 2024 hero finished eight goals off the pace last season, but it’s notable how many times he found himself in dangerous positions.
As well as banging in 19 goals, Ollie Watkins provided 13 assists for teammates and produced 32 big chances.
However, he's way off the pace this season, and is struggling to keep his starting spot. An each-way bet on him now would be bold.
Darwin Nunez
Nunez has the profile of a player who can be the Premier League’s top goalscorer, even if he hasn’t shown the right traits. His powerful running and intelligent movement set him up, but his erratic nature and lack of composure let him down.
No player took more shots per 90 minutes than the Uruguayan last season and we hoped Arne Slot would bring the best out of him.
Get into double figures in the Premier League currently appears to be a bit of a stretch.
Dominic Solanke
Bournemouth’s former number nine was part of a three-way tie for fourth place in last year’s race with 19 goals as he flourished under Andoni Iraola.
Tottenham's summer signing was set to spearhead Ange Postecoglou's attack, and drive them into European qualification...oh dear.
Solanke, like Tottenham, has shown patches of form, but it's been disappointing and your each-way money is better served elsewhere.
