League One Top Scorer Betting Tips for This Season

I don’t like tipping favourite, especially in top goalscorer markets, but I’m going to break with tradition and suggest that Leigh Griffiths (8/1 Ladbrokes) will score plenty of goals for much fancied Wolves this season.

Kenny Jackett’s men will be a lot more youthful this campaign and as a result potency should increase throughout the squad.

He scored 23 goals in 36 games for Hibernian last season and that’s the reason why he has been installed as the market leader. If Wolves were still in the Championship, I would have my doubts, however I think League One defences will find him a handful over the course of the season.

They’ll be plenty of creativity from midfield and along with Jake Cassidy and Bjorn Sigurdsson, the nets should be bulging on a regular basis in the black country.

Players often need a transition period when stepping up a league, but I think Tom Pope (33/1 Coral) last years top scorer in League Two should be able to adjust immediately.

Having sorted out his head and lost some weight, the former Rotherham and Crewe man had netted 36 times for Port Vale, compare that to the 3 he netted for the Millers and it is proof that he’s definitely turned a corner.

He regularly hit 2 or 3 goals in matches last season and even scored 4 against his former employers. He certainly knows where the net is and he might find defences a stiffer test at this level, the creativity of Jennison Myrie-Williams and Gavin Tomlin should put chances on a plate for him.

My final selection didn’t have the best season last year only netting 11 times for MK Dons, but he is back in his local area and I think Ryan Lowe (50/1 Coral) can put his shooting boots back on.

His stock rose when he scored 49  goals in 90 games for Bury over the course of 2 years.

He should be comfortable back in Merseyside and although he isn’t getting any younger, Ronnie Moore should get the best out of him at Tranmere and come May, hopefully he’ll be high up that scoring chart.

He is a natural predator and 50/1 looks generous, hopefully he can rediscover his form back in the North West.
