Football betting sites heavily favor Erling Haaland to secure the Premier League Golden Boot for the 2026/27 season, marking his potential fourth win in five campaigns. The Manchester City striker scored 27 goals last season, fending off Brentford's Igor Thiago, who netted 22. With former challenger Mo Salah having departed English football, the odds suggest a straightforward path for the Norwegian. However, several players are positioned as potential dark horses. Alexander Isak, despite a challenging debut season at Liverpool, is expected to rebound. Other notable contenders include Chelsea's Joao Pedro, Arsenal's Viktor Gyokeres, and Aston Villa's consistent Ollie Watkins. The "Betting Without Haaland" market also highlights players like Manchester United's Bryan Mbeumo and Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White as strong each-way bets, indicating a competitive field beyond the clear favorite.
