Harry Kane
Not only did Harry Kane win the first trophy of his career in the 2024/25 campaign, but he also ended it as the Bundesliga's top goalscorer for the second consecutive season. The England captain has now scored a combined 65 goals across his two seasons with Bayern Munich, which makes him the firm favourite to win the Golden Boot again this time around.
The Bayern ace finished comfortably out in front at the top of the Bundesliga goalscoring charts, racking up 26 goals across the season. Although there have been some online rumours about his availability in the transfer market, Kane is almost certainly set to stick around in Bavaria for another season.
The Englishman got off to the perfect start in Bayern's opening game of the new Bundesliga season against RB Leipzig at the Allianz Arena. Indeed, he managed to net a hat-trick in a 6-0 thrashing for the Bavarians, and already leads the top goalscorer charts even in its early stages.
Serhou Guirassy
Serhou Guirassy ended the season in blistering form, spearheading Borussia Dortmund’s late surge to secure Champions League qualification. The BVB forward banged in his 21st league goal on the final day of the season against Holstein Kiel.
If Guirassy can carry his superb end-of-season form into the forthcoming campaign, then he could give the aforementioned Kane a good run for his money. He has already gotten off the mark for the new season, scoring in a thrilling 3-3 draw for Dortmund against St Pauli on the opening weekend.
Patrick Schick
Patrick Schick bagged a brace on the final day of the Bundesliga season, meaning that he placed joint-second in the top goalscorer market. The Bayer Leverkusen striker enjoyed an impressive second half of the season, striking 16 times across his last 20 appearances.
With Leverkusen set to embark on a new era under Erik ten Hag this season, Schick will have a key role to play for the 2024 Bundesliga champions. Unfortunately, the Czech Republic international failed to get off the mark as Leverkusen surprisingly lost 2-1 at home to Hoffenheim on the opening weekend of the new Bundesliga season.
Jonathan Burkardt
Jonathan Burkardt enjoyed a brilliant season for Mainz last term, scoring 18 goals across his 29 Bundesliga appearances. The German forward's goals went a long way to securing Mainz a place in next season's UEFA Europa Conference League (UECL).
Now at Frankfurt, Burkardt could be a lively outsider to consider in the top goalscorer betting at 16/1. However, there are a number of other players that offer the same odds, including the likes of Luis Diaz and Maximilian Beier.
Unfortunately, Burkardt did not manage to get off the mark for his new side in their opening game of the new Bundesliga season. However, Frankfurt still managed to run out comfortable 4-1 winners at home to Werder Bremen, and there should be plenty of opportunities in the future for him to score goals.
Our Bundesliga top scorer prediction
While his odds do not exactly offer value, it is hard to look past Kane due to the fact that he is the best striker in the league, has a proven track record and plays for the club that will almost certainly win the league. Thus, it is probably not worth backing anyone else even at this early stage, unless Kane shows any signs of taking his foot off of the gas.
