Inter Milan won the Serie A last season with captain Lautaro Martinez winning the Serie A Golden Boot. And he is the favorite to repeat that feat this season.
Lautaro Martinez scored 24 goals last season in Serie A as Inter Milan raced to the title. Due to this, seeing him being tipped as the favourite to win the award this season is no shock.
Not only was Martinez on great form, but the whole Inter Milan squad was as well. Inter scored 89 goals last campaign and only conceded 22 goals.
With the Italian side so strong last season, they are expected to be battling for the title again this year.
If they are to be battling near the top of the division again then Martinez is going to have to be performing at his best and scoring many goals.
Looking at the possibility of Martinez winning the Golden Boot, the probability of the Argentinian currently scoring the most goals in the division is 29%.
This is very high and he currently has the greatest probability of winning the Golden Boot when comparing his odds with other Serie A players in the running.
One of the other Serie A players in the running is Juventus attacker Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian was Martinez’s competitor last season but finished 8 goals behind the Argentinian on 16 goals.
He should prove to be much tougher opposition this season in the race for the Golden Boot. This as Juventus have hired highly-rated manager Thiago Motta.
They are making some top signings to help bolster their squad. The Juventus manager started well in his new role, as he has managed two 3-0 victories in two of his first three games in charge.
Inter Milan Captain Lautaro Martinez To Retain Serie A Golden Boot Crown?
Vlahovic has scored twice. This will worry Martinez as he has failed to score so far in the league. This despite Inter Milan scoring 8 goals in the Serie A in three games.
It looks like another competitor for the Golden Boot will be the 27-year-old’s teammate Marcus Thuram.
The Frenchman managed to score 4 goals in his first three gamea and is also seen as a favourite to top Serie A goal scoring charts.
The first couple of games of the season have left the Golden Boot race very open for the rest of the 2024/25 Serie A season.
However, despite not scoring yet, Martinez is still being tipped to finish the season with the Golden Boot.
