Ligue 1 top scorer odds and tips: Can 7/1 shot Greenwood catch the leader?

Following the penultimate round of Ligue 1 action, there was some noteworthy movement in the race to finish as the top goalscorer in France this season.

As we head into the final weekend of the campaign, let's take a look at who the current frontrunners are to finish as the leading marksman in the French top-flight this term.

Best Ligue 1 top scorer odds

Ousmane Dembele – 1/16

Ousmane Dembele still sits top of the Ligue 1 goalscoring charts heading into the final weekend of the campaign, leading the way with 21 goals for the season.

However, it is worth noting that Dembele’s last goal in Ligue 1 was almost two months ago. Given that PSG already have the title sewn up and will be focusing on the Champions League final, Dembele’s grip at the top of the leaderboard has loosened somewhat.

That being said, the French forward is still as short as 1/16 to end the season top of the pile, though those skinny odds hold little appeal given that he is unlikely to feature against Auxerre on Saturday.

Mason Greenwood – 7/1

Mason Greenwood is still very much in with a chance of pipping the aforementioned Dembele to the prize. The Marseille forward moved on to 19 goals for the season by firing his side to a crucial 3-1 win over Le Havre at the weekend.

With Marseille finishing the season at home to Rennes on Saturday and Greenwood expected to start, the former Manchester United man could still stand a chance of winning the award. Greenwood is two goals behind Dembele and therefore merits support at an eye-catching 7/1 for top goalscorer honours. 

Jonathan David – 100/1

Despite ending his goal drought with a brace against Auxerre on matchday 30, Jonathan David has drifted out to a whopping 100/1 in the race for the top goalscorer prize. The Lille talisman is still on 16 Ligue 1 goals for the season after failing to fire against Marseille and Brest in recent weeks. 

With David set to be in huge demand as a free agent this summer, he will be keen to end the season with a bang this weekend, though overtaking both Dembele and Greenwood is now almost certainly a bridge too far.

Bradley Barcola 500/1

Bradley Barcola started the season in brilliant form but has been unable to maintain those standards since then. In fact, Barcola has scored just four times in his last 19 Ligue 1 outings. As such, the French international's odds for the top scorer award have drifted out to a hefty 500/1. While Barcola did manage to grab a goal for PSG at Strasbourg a couple of weeks ago, he can no longer be considered as a serious contender for the award.

Our Ligue 1 top scorer prediction

Given the current lay of the land in the Ligue 1 goalscoring charts heading into the final week of the season, the value lies with Mason Greenwood at 7/1 in the race to finish as top goalscorer. A couple of goals from Greenwood this weekend could be enough to secure a pay-out at an appetising price.

The same can’t be said for current leading scorer Dembele given that PSG have bigger fish to fry in the shape of both the Coupe de France and Champions League finals respectively.
