Premier League 2025 Top Scorer Odds: Who Will Score the Most Goals?

Let’s face it, some players are simply in better environments for goal-scoring. For example, Manchester City creates an incredible volume of chances, which is why Haaland has been nothing short of amazing and is generally a safe bet. On the other hand, even the best striker will struggle to score a lot of goals in a defensively structured team.

It’s a no-brainer that being the designated penalty taker is a massive advantage. But still, let’s crunch some numbers and see just how much it influences the race. Last season, over 15% of Premier League goals came from penalties. Salah and Haaland take penalties often and Kane, if he returns, will continue to do so as well, giving them an edge over other players who seek the title but don’t take penalties.

Premier League seasons are just too long, and even the best strikers can get injured and fall out of shape if they lose focus before the end. Players like Haaland and Isak have struggled with fitness before, while others like Salah rarely miss games. It’s important to stay updated on a player’s form and if he injured or not before picking your top contender.

It’s only right to start our list with the current top contender, who scored 25 goals so far after 28 played matches. This isn’t much of a surprise since he’s been among the top Golden Boot since his debut 2018/2018 debut season in which he scored 32 goals. Also, he’s won the award three times, scoring more than 20 goals per season.

However, things might take a turn for the worse for him this season because Liverpool’s attack is going through changes with younger talents like Darwin Núñez and Luis Díaz. Will their attack revolve around him as much as before? Or will the young Lions take away some of his scoring opportunities?

Ranked second at the moment, Halaland scored 20 goals over the 26 matches he’s been in. When Haaland arrived at Manchester City, people were skeptical, to say the least, about whether or not he would adapt to the Premier League. Well, based on his performance, he didn’t just adapt, he dominated. The Norwegian superstar scored 36 goals in the 2022/23 season, setting a new league record.

But let’s focus on the present. Can he do it again? Manchester’s attacking style suits Haaland perfectly, with Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden, and Bernardo Silva constantly giving him chances. The only real threat to his goal tally is Pep Guardiola’s infamous rotation policy and the potential for injuries.

Currently in third place, Isak has scored 19 goals after playing in 24 matches. Just for comparison, he’s been in fewer matches than Salah and Haaland and still scored an impressive number of goals, meaning that he may still come out on top in the end. He is truly a talented player because of his ability to score with both feet, take on defenders, and finish in tight spaces.

So, what is his biggest challenge? In short, fitness. He missed nearly three months last season due to injuries, and Newcastle’s medical team will be cautious with his workload. Moreover, he does not take penalties, which puts him at a disadvantage compared to Salah and Haaland.
