Bundesliga 2022-23 Golden Boot Winner

Bayern Munich is the strong favorite to win the Bundesliga title, but the race for the top goal scorer award looks to be wide open with Robert Lewandowski and Erling Haaland changing leagues. Our sportsbook is offering a great range of betting markets and props for the English top-flight league.

  • Patrik Schick (+300)

Leverkusen’s Patrik Schick is the favorite to finish as the Bundesliga top goal scorer in the 2022-23 campaign. The Czech Republic international was second only to Lewandowski in the charts last season with 24 goals scored, and he will be among the strikers licking his lips at the Pole’s departure.

Schick has completed 67 matches across all competitions with his present squad. Here, he has scored a total of 37 goals. With a total of 43 goals in his Bundesliga career, he presently is in 20th place on the active scoring chart.

Last year, Schick’s sensational long-range effort for the Czech Republic against Scotland on Matchday 1 of the UEFA Euro 2020 was named Goal of the Tournament. On top of that, the Czech striker scored the most number of goals in the tournament, together with Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

Schick is looking forward to a bright future at Bayer Leverkusen after signing a contract extension with the Rhineland club through to summer 2027. The 33-time Czech Republic international previously played for RB Leipzig (scoring 10 goals in 22 Bundesliga games during a 2019-20 loan spell), in Italy with Sampdoria and Roma, and for Sparta and Bohemians Prague in his homeland.

Is Schick in the world-class category alongside Lewandowski and Haaland? Let’s see him in action next season and let’s hope he will stay fit and won’t get injured. He is priced at +300 to win the top scorer trophy with the latest soccer odds.

  • Christopher Nkunku (+450)

Christopher Nkunku looks like excellent value at this price. The RB Leipzig frontman was linked with Chelsea and Manchester United in the summer, but he will be at the Red Bull Arena for at least another season. Nkunku is a huge talent who found the net 20 times last term and he’s not even a real striker. He has signed a two-year contract extension at RB Leipzig, keeping him at the club until 2026.

The fresh terms come hot on the heels of a sensational 2021-22 campaign from the attacking midfielder who won the Bundesliga Player of the Season award. He also spearheaded Leipzig’s triumphant DFB Cup run and became a full French international.

To date, he has made 136 competitive outings for the club, contributing 47 goals as part of 93 direct goal involvements. While he has always performed consistently well, the last term he took his game to a new level, often proving decisive in the final third with his eye for a pass and killer instinct in front of goal. We expect him to become one of Europe’s best players in a maximum of two years but, given his position, we don’t expect him to win the Golden Boot in the German top-flight league.

So if you’re soccer betting online, avoid betting on him. He’s a great finisher but at the same time, he’s also a playmaker. He’s brilliant on the break, he has a great pace and we don’t expect him to stay more than one season with the German side. Leipzig sold many of their key players this summer and they are yet to add some extra quality to their squad.

  • Sadio Mane/Serge Gnabry (+600/+3000)

It’s very strange to see that the first Bayern Munich player from this list is actually the third favorite for the Golden Boot award because we are talking about the best attack in the Bundesliga in the last 10 years. There’s a reason for this. The Bavarian giants lost Lewandowski who signed with Barcelona, but they transferred Liverpool’s star, Sadio Mane.

Mane and Serge Gnabry will be tasked with filling Lewandowski’s boots at Bayern this term. We will see one of the most exciting and prolific wingers in the world play for Bayern this season. While at Liverpool, Mane won the Golden Boot. Therefore, there is a good chance that he can score plenty while playing for Bayern. We will surely include him in our soccer picks and parlays starting next season.

  • Karim Adeyemi (+1200)

Karim Adeyemi is a bright youngster who recently moved from RB Salzburg to Borussia Dortmund. He is following the steps of Haaland, who also played for Salzburg. Adeyemi is a prolific striker that has an eye for goal. One popular thing about Dortmund is that they know how to groom youngsters. Therefore, Adeyemi, whose pace is insane, could help the team improve and fight Bayern for the title.
