There was a double for Inter Milan last season as they won the Scudetto and striker Lautaro Martinez scooped the top scorer prize. However, current Serie A top scorer odds have seen him slip behind his teammate Marcus Thuram.
Best Serie A top scorer odds
Marcus Thuram – 3/1
Inter’s Thuram was expected to play a support role at Inter to Lautaro Martinez. However, Thuram has been in top scoring form, upstaging his teammate in the early season. Thuram quietly chipped in with 13 league goals in his first season with Inter, and his early form in advanced positions this term has seen him shorten to the head of the market as a great 3/1 option in Serie A top scorer tips.
Betting tip: Inter Milan To Win, Under 3.5 Match Goals 17/10
Thuram’s pace and power helped Inter improve before the break, and he could help them bank three points at mid-table Roma.
Dusan Vlahovic – 7/2
Vlahovic is the main striker for Juventus, and is, slowly but surely, starting to make an impression in Turin after a somewhat indifferent start to the season. The belief is growing and he's still around that 7/2 mark to be the league's top scorer. The Serbian looks like he is gearing up for something bigger with the goal starting to flow
Betting tip: Juventus To Win To Nil 2/1
At home to Lazio, Vlahovic has a big chance to make an impression against a potential top-four rival for Juventus, who have been defensive giants this season.
Lautaro Martinez – 6/1
Martinez’s 24 goals last season helped Inter lift the title they are favoured to lift once again. That’s three straight seasons of 20-plus goals for Martinez and he’s the front-runner for another Golden Boot. It’s been a dry spell for him at the start of the new Serie A season however, and now his pre-season quote of 3/1 in the market has drifted a lot.
Betting tip: Inter To Win & BTTS 13/5
Inter faces Roma in their next match, which is a good away test. Although he’s not scoring freely, Martinez will still keep the defence occupied.
Mateo Retegui 13/2
Atalanta’s Mateo Retegui has had a cracking season and is starting to look like an increased threat in the Serie A Top goalscorer market. Atalanta like to get on the front foot and play to its strengths, and that’s paying dividends for both parties this season.
Betting Tip: Atalanta/Atalanta Half Time/Full Time 8/5
Atalanta’s away form has been questionable this season, but they will be expected to win at bottom-side Venezia.
Others – 9/1 +
Romelu Lukaku joined Napoli in the summer and is a 9/1 option to be the league’s top scorer, and could this latest move see him thrive again? Milan’s Christian Pulisic is having a good season in front of goal and is a 14/1 dark horse in Serie A top goalscorer betting. Lazio’s Valentin Castellanos is longer-priced in the market, but could star for the Biancocelesti in front of goal. Artem Dovbyk, who joined Roma after 24 goals in La Liga with Girona last season, is a 14/1 punt in Serie A top scorer odds, with AC Milan’s new acquisition Alvaro Morata a distant 20/1.
Betting Tip: AC Milan To Win and Both Teams To Score
AC Milan’s Christian Pulisic is red-hot at the moment and could impress again as Milan face Udinese.
Our Serie A top scorer prediction
Things feel more wide open in Serie A top scorer tips than for other top leagues. Martinez finished atop the charts last term with 24 goals, the lowest tally for a golden boot winner since 2015.
That suggests there is room for him to be caught, and while Mateo Retegui is a great dark horse pick, the star of the show could be Marcus Thuram on current evidence.
