The top goalscorer betting in the Olympic games football tournament at London 2012 will be an ever popular betting market and we take a look at the best bets.

It is Brazil’s Neymar that leads the way in the betting at the moment, he is an 11/2 shot to finish top goalscorer and although that price is short, it will attract it’s supporters given the undoubted class and talent of the youngster but with Pato and Hulk also in the Brazil squad it is likely all three will be rotated somewhat once games are won.

Hulk is a 9/1 chance at the moment and he is likely to lead the forward three of Brazil with his powerful style and deadly finishing. Pato is a 10/1 chance and rumours suggest he might have to settle for a place on the bench so that one is best avoided.

Spain are the second favourites for the tournament and their striker Adrian Lopez is 8/1 to be top scorer at the London 2012 Olympics. Spain are also likely to rotate their players so it could be another one to avoid at the price.

When looking at this market it is important to look at the opposition they play in the group games and looking at Uruguay’s group which includes UAE, Edison Cavani and Luis Suarez have to be seriously considered. Suarez has scored a goal every other game for the full International team and his price of 10/1 appeals massively. He appeals a touch more than Cavani (also at 10/1) because of his more direct style.

Group D contains Spain, Japan, Honduras and Morocco and Spain’s three games could see them run riot. We saw at the Under 21 tournament last summer that Spain do not slow down when they are winning and the goals will keep coming so for a longer priced top scorer bet consider Juan Mata at 50/1. He is likely to be the pivot in the forward line given his lack of game time at Euro 2012 and his knack of being in the right place at the right time could really see him get in on the goals. Let’s hope the Chelsea man has had his zma ahead of the tournament and he could give us a long odds win to make London 2012 a tournament to remember.
