**… Victor Osimhen, Lautaro Martinez, Olivier Giroud and the other favourites to win the 2023/24 Serie A Golden Boot** Barely three games into the 2023/24 Serie A season, the usual suspects are already back at it, scoring for fun and providing a path for you to win big on BetKing by betting on the “highest goalscorer in the Serie A” market. The race to finish the season as the highest scorer has begun with Lautaro Martinez currently top of the list, with five goals in the opening three games. The Argentine centre-forward narrowly missed out on the prize last season, finishing second only to Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and will be eager to be this season’s Capocannoniere. **How it went last season** Before staking on the high odds being offered for this season’s Serie A top scorer award, let’s do a quick recap of last season's Capocannoniere race went. Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen won the Golden Boot last season with 26 goals scored in 32 games for Napoli en route to a historic Serie A title. In doing so, the 24-year-old became the first African Capocannoniere, breaking the record for most goals scored in a single season by an African player, previously held by Samuel Eto’o who scored 21 goals for Inter Milan in the 2010/11 Serie A season. He also became the all-time leading African goalscorer in Serie A history, surpassing the legendary George Weah who scored 46 total goals in Italy’s top flight. The Nigerian striker was so good that even Lautaro Martinez could not keep up. Last season, the Argentine forward scored 21 goals in the Serie A but unfortunately for him, it was not enough to be Capocannoniere. Staking on Lautaro Martinez last season would have won you all types of bets as the 25-year-old was constantly available. One of the few players to feature in every Serie A game last season, he along with Osimhen were the only players to crack the 20-goal mark. Salernitana’s Boulaye Dia was third with 16 goals in 33 games, followed by Rafael Leao with 15 goals in 35 games for AC Milan. Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman, AC Milan’s Olivier Giroud and Spezia’s M’Bala Nzola all scored 13 goals but were all too far behind to be considered in the race. By all indications, last season’s Capocannoniere race was a two-horse race but 2023/24 is already looking much more competitive and as the best betting site in Nigeria, you can get the best odds on this particular market. Here are the best betting tips to help you pick which horse to back in the Capocannoniere race. **Betting tips and odds for the 2023/24 Serie A Golden Boot** **Victor Osimhen:** The reigning Capocannoniere is the favourite to repeat the trick and do it all again and many platforms will have his odds a little lower than usual. However, you can get boosted odds with us on the Nigerian sharpshooter to repeat last season’s exploits. The Nigerian has scored three goals in as many games so far this season and will undoubtedly get more if he can stay fit. Despite the departure of Kim Min-Jae, the loss in form of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and departure of Luciano Spalletti (and subsequent appointment of Rudi Garcia), Osimhen remains the focal point of this Napoli team.
**Lautaro Martinez:** Lautaro Martinez has started the season like a house on fire and it’s clear that he has a point to prove this season. With five goals in three games to his name so far, Inter’s captain has played in 260 out of 270 available Serie A minutes and scored in every game. Osimhen is our favorite to claim the Golden Boot this season, but Martinez also has a very good chance to win it and is currently leading the way with five goals already. It is not too late to invest in Lautaro stocks.
**Dusan Vlahovic:** Dusan Vlahovic endured a poor outing last season with just 10 goals in 27 league games for Juventus. That’s his lowest tally since the 2019/20 season and we expect him to have a much better season this time around. He has already made a decent start this season, scoring twice in three games and even missing a penalty in Juventus’s most recent game against Empoli. The Serbian striker will have many more chances to score this season and remind Juventus fans and the rest of the Football world why he was valued so highly before he moved to Turin.
**Olivier Giroud:** The next best odds to win the Serie A Golden Boot for the 2023/24 season is AC Milan striker, Olivier Giroud. Although the Frenchman has already scored four times in just three games this season, it is important to note that he’s in his third Serie A season and has still never scored more than 13 goals in a season. He’s also currently out with an ankle injury and his advanced age compared to the other contenders might leave him at a bit of a disadvantage here. But then again, it’s the Italian Serie A and older players tend to thrive there, so who knows?
**Ciro Immobile:** It would be a terrible idea to list potential Capocannoniere award winners and leave out a man who has accomplished the feat four times already. Although the 33-year old Italian international only managed 12 goals last season and has scored just once in Lazio’s first three games this season, he still has 35 games to clinch a fifth Capocannoniere crown. If he does, every single goal will be needed by Lazio, who are already languishing in 12th place after winning once and losing two games.
It’s possible that when all’s said and done, neither of the five players listed above will be Capocannoniere at the end of the season. However, we think that to be unlikely and strongly favor one of these five players to win the Golden Boot this season.
