Haaland and Kane have now found the net in 12 and 10 consecutive games for club and country, respectively, while Kylian Mbappe will hope to return to goalscoring ways in the El Clasico.
This weekend offers some interesting fixtures in the big 5 leagues, and I’ve put together a five-pick slip that once again builds on these proven goalscorers and also introduces two shrewd value plays from the Premier League and Ligue 1.
Now, let's dive into the weekend's most compelling goalscorer betting predictions.

Aston Villa vs Manchester City: Anytime Goalscorer: Erling Haaland
What Erling Haaland is achieving right now beggars belief. Every matchday, he is dismantling defences once he steps on the pitch. He was at it again in midweek, scoring against Villarreal to extend his mesmerizing streak to 12 games. His numbers are video game-like: 24 goals in just 14 appearances for club and country this season. He is scoring goals for fun, and there seems to be no shelter for opposing defenders.
The challenge this weekend is a tough away trip to an in-form Aston Villa that's currently riding a 3-game EPL winning streak, during which they've conceded just three goals. While this is a stern test, it's precisely the kind of game where the rules don’t apply to someone in Haaland’s form. The data shows that Haaland has one goal in four games against Villa, but this is a new, even more relentless version of the Norwegian, so I fully expect him to continue his scoring run.
Facing a high-level opponent only sharpens his focus. In this form, he is simply unstoppable. At odds of 1.81, backing Haaland to score is a foundational pick for any serious accumulator.
Borussia Monchengladbach vs Bayern Munich: Anytime Goalscorer: Harry Kane
Harry Kane? More like Hurricane! The English captain is a master of his craft, and his midweek goal against Club Brugge extended his scoring streak to 10 games. He has now racked up a staggering 23 goals in 14 games for Bayern and England this season, a tally that includes six braces and two hat-tricks. Simply put, his efficiency is breathtaking.
The England captain now travels to face a Borussia Monchengladbach side in crisis. 'Gladbach are winless in their first seven Bundesliga games, having already conceded 15 goals. They are a defensive unit low on confidence and structure. Kane, who already has three goals in four games against them and leads the Bundesliga scoring charts with 12 goals, will be licking his lips.
This matchup is a perfect storm for a striker of his caliber to pad his stats. At odds of 1.33, this is the very definition of a Banker Bet of the Day and the safest betting tip you'll receive this weekend.
Real Madrid vs Barcelona: Anytime Goalscorer – Kylian Mbappé
The biggest club game on the planet gets an added layer of spice with Kylian Mbappé in the form of his life, even though his 11-game scoring streak came to an end in midweek against Juventus. His season tally of 18 goals in 15 outings is still quite remarkable. The most compelling narrative here is his personal history with Barcelona. Last season alone, he terrorized them, scoring five goals in four games across three competitions, including a memorable hat trick.
This season, Barcelona under Hansi Flick have looked vulnerable at the back, often struggling with the high defensive line Mbappé exploited at will last season. With Inigo Martinez leaving in the summer, it has looked more vulnerable. Against a player with Mbappé's explosive pace and intelligent movement, they will certainly have problems. This style plays directly into his hands, offering the space in behind that he thrives on.
In 8 total games against Barça, he has an astounding 11 goals. He owns this fixture. At excellent odds of 1.71 for a player of his stature in El Clasico, and considering his current form, this looks extremely likely to deliver.
Arsenal vs Crystal Palace: Anytime Goalscorer: Viktor Gyokeres
Now for our first premier value pick, focusing on a striker who has just rediscovered his golden touch. Viktor Gyokeres ended a nagging goal drought in the most emphatic way possible, blasting a brace in Arsenal's 4-0 demolition of Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. Those crucial goals took him to 5 for the season and, more importantly, will have restored his confidence completely.
He now faces a Crystal Palace side that is coming off a 3-3 draw against Bournemouth and has shown defensive frailty. As Mikel Arteta's Arsenal attack begins to click into a frightening gear, becoming increasingly unplayable, Gyokeres will be the central focal point. He is a physical presence who gets on the end of everything in the box, and against a potentially demoralized Palace defence, he is poised to cash in.
At superb odds of 2.13, Gyokeres represents a brilliant high-value play for your slip.
Brest vs PSG: Anytime Goalscorer – Bradley Barcola
Our final pick is a calculated risk on a rising star in a prolific team. While PSG's attacking rotations can be a puzzle, Bradley Barcola has emerged as the most consistent starter in their frontline recently. He scored last weekend against Strasbourg and, though he didn't score in the 7-2 thrashing of Bayer Leverkusen in midweek, he still grabbed an assist, proving his involvement in the final third.
What makes him a compelling bet is his continuous improvement in front of goal, and his knack for getting into prime scoring positions in every game he plays. Facing a Brest side whose open style often creates transitions and spaces, Barcola’s pace and movement will be a constant threat.
With his confidence growing and his role secure, he is perfectly positioned to find the net. At enticing odds of 2.35, he is the perfect pick to significantly boost your accumulator's potential.
You can edit this slip to your taste, depending on your strategy. My recommendation? Mix it up a bit, go with at least two of the dependable trio and one value pick. to make it a green weekend.
