Will Haaland win the Golden Boot in 24/25?

Erling Haaland has been as consistent as they come since he joined Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund, picking up plenty of silverware, both individually when it comes to the Golden Boot and also team accolades such as multiple Premier League titles and a Champions League trophy. In fact, he hit the ground running straight away after joining City after his €60 million release clause was activated; he got the Premier League Golden Boot in his first season, as well as the European Golden Shoe and the Premier League Player of the Year, and they are just a handful of trophies that he won that season.

What are his chances?

And so when it comes to premier league betting, one of the big discussions and debates that we’re going to look at today is whether Haaland can win the Premier League Golden Boot for the third year in a row. If we look at the first year when he lifted the Golden Boot award, he did score an impressive 36 goals in the Premier League that season. However, in his following season, where he still finished as the top scorer, his total tally in the league dropped to 27 goals. And so, despite this still being an impressive tally, was this a sign that he might actually be on the decline? Or was this just an ‘off’ season by the Norwegian’s’ standards? It only remains to be seen when we see how he plays this season to see if this was just a flash in the pan or the start of a steady decline.

What do the pundits think?

The general consensus amongst a lot of pundits who are taking an unbiased view on it is that they simply cannot see anyone other than Haaland lifting the Golden Boot trophy again this season. They simply describe him as a cut above everyone else in terms of goalscoring and also consistency. And the way this is demonstrated is that, as we have mentioned already, he had far from a great season last year, but despite this, his tally of 27 in the league was still impressive, giving him goals ahead of the nearest person next to him, and this was with him not playing at his full potential. And so if we can safely expect him to improve this season, it just looks like he will pull away from the rest of the pack.

De Bruyne Partnership

Someone who has been integral to Haalands success so far by his playmaking and assisting is that of Kevin De Bruyne, who was rumoured to be leaving City during the summer transfer window. However, with him looking like he’s staying at the club for this season, this has handed Haaland a big boost as they look to continue their partnership that has resulted in plenty of goals. And so the eyes are not only going to be solely focused on Haaland this season but also on the form of De Bruyne, who is also known for his consistency each season, to see if they can carry on their impressive joint and individual performances.

In Summary

Wrapping everything up, the bookies and pundits bet on Erling Haaland lifting the golden boot again this season. They are all in agreement that he is simply at another level compared to the rest of the goalscorers in the league at the moment, who have been struggling overall to break the 20-goal barrier, putting him just above everyone else. And so it is going to be interesting to see as the season progresses if their hunches turn out to be right or if someone else might lift the trophy this season.
