A stupendous 2018-19 Premier League campaign has set the bar high ahead of the upcoming term. Teams are gearing up for the fresh challenge and bolstering themselves with significant inclusions to meet their respective season goals. The fans relished the title battle between Manchester City and Liverpool, however, the contest for the Golden Boot led to a dramatic conclusion when Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang shared the award for firing in 22 goals each.
It was a moment of pride for the Africans as all three of them belong to the same continent. They are touted to chase the honour yet again and there are a range of Betting Apps that allow the supporters to back who they think will receive the reward next year.
There might be a twist in the tale though. The odds suggest an alteration as Harry Kane is backed to reclaim the Premier League Golden Boot having missed it out for consecutive campaigns. Injuries hindered him last season from staying in the hunt whereas a Mohamed Salah masterclass (who became the Premier League’s all-time highest scorer in a 38-game season netting 32 goals) denied the Tottenham hitman the season before despite finding the net 30 times.
Although it is too early to predict the outcome, a couple of months into the campaign would allow us to have some idea on how it is going to shape up by May 2020. You can download betting apps on Android and iPhone at www.bettingapps.org to keep close tabs on the standings.
While Kane is leading the race at 9/2, Salah is not far behind (11/2) to grab it for the third time in a row. Liverpool fell just a point short of champions Manchester City from conquering their maiden Premier League title but are now more determined than ever to make it happen after hitting the Champions League jackpot on the final day of their eventful 2018-19 season. They are having a quiet window but Jurgen Klopp, the Reds’ chief, has reiterated his faith in the current squad and the Egyptian is supposed to play a pivotal role once more in their bid to dethrone the Citizens defying the odds.
One man who might prove to be the difference between these two majestic football clubs is none other than iconic Sergio Aguero. The veteran Argentine missed out on the Golden Boot for scoring one less than the trio, but he scored a few massive goals as always that guided the Manchester giants to wrap up their second successive league glory under Pep Guardiola. The 31-year-old is currently third (6/1) behind Kane and Salah but is likely to finish above the other two top scorers Aubameyang (8/1) and Mane (11/1).
Spurs, the Champions League runners-up last season, are highly reliant on the Three Lions skipper in front of goal and he reaffirmed his commitment to the cause by scoring a mesmerizing winner from the halfway line against Juventus in a pre-season friendly fixture. He is an outright ‘number 9’ known for his strength, positioning, shooting skills and goal-poaching attributes.
Salah, predominantly a wide attacker, deserves all the credits for winning it twice despite not being an outright centre-forward like Kane, Aguero or Aubameyang. Although he scored 10 goals lesser than what he bagged in 2017-18, the magic figure of 30 should be targetted once more to exhibit his consistency as well as sharpness in the attacking third.
City, on the other hand, have one of the strongest squads in Europe and the gaffer is likely to rotate his options to keep them fit and fine all throughout. An impressive Copa America campaign should see Gabriel Jesus starting more games compared to the previous occasion and Aguero must be utilized more in their European outings to attain success following back to back disappointment.
