Willian’s shooting accuracy is at 58 percent
Luka Jovic scored the last-16 winner against Inter Milan
Giroud stands as Europa League top scorer with nine goals in nine games

Europa League heads to the quarterfinals on April 11 and 18. Alongside the actual competition, the race for the golden boot is very close between 6 prolific strikers. You can now bet on Europa League top scorer. However, keep in mind that Chelsea’s Willian and Giroud are big favourites to win the top scorer award. In addition to Chelsea’s attacking force, Frankfurt’s Haller and Jovic, and Arsenal’s Aubameyang are among the top contenders. According to online sportsbook news in the UK, it will all depend on the side that will advance to the finals. Chelsea and Arsenal are the favourites to win it all, but Frankfurt with their impressive young strikers may have a chance in Baku. The golden boot contenders will unlikely break the record set by Falcao in 2011 when he hit a ridiculous 17 goals. However, they will certainly exceed the 10 goals threshold in this edition.

Higuain did not feature in Europa League last-16

The Argentinian striker Gonzalo Higuain has joined Chelsea in January on a loan deal from Juventus. Since then he became Sarri’s first choice in leading Chelsea’s attack in the Premier League. Higuain managed to net 3 goals in 10 appearances. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCVAHQ2PRMc In Europa League, online sportsbook sites in the UK offer 50/1 odds for Higuain to win the Golden Boot. However, we think you should not choose Higuain when betting on Europa League top scorer. Simply because he did not appear on the bench in last-16 and he is yet to score. In addition, his teammate Giroud will likely continue dominating the striker’s spot in Europa League.

Haller has a style reminiscent of Trezeguet

Frankfurt’s goal making machine Sebastien Haller has 5 goals on his name, with 3 assists in the Europa League. The 24-year-old Frenchman has a style reminiscent of David Trezeguet. Adding to that, 48 percent of his shots are on target. Haller values with 16/1 odds at Unibet Sportsbook, to become the Europa League top scorer.

Aubameyang noted17 goals in the Premier League

Arsenal’s star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored twice against Rennes to help Arsenal into the Europa League quarterfinals. His current record stands at 4 goals and 2 assists in 7 Europa League matches. Aubameyang has also been chasing the Premier League golden boot, with 17 goals. He is only two strikes behind the top scorer Sergio Aguero. For those who watched Aubameyang during his debut season, it will be no surprise if he wins Europa League golden boot with 11/1.

Jovic won in the Round of 16 against Inter

The Serbian forward Luka Jovic has scored 21 in all competitions for Frankfurt this term. He scored the 16 winner against Inter Milan. His record so far is 7 goals in 10 matches in Europa League. The exciting 21-year-old Jovic emerged as one of the top Europa League strikers for this season. You can safely choose Jovic (7/1) when betting on Europa League top scorer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OK5r4WIKZAI

Giroud scored nine goals in nine games

Olivier Grioud stands as Europa League top scorer with 9 goals and 2 assists in 9 matches. Giroud and his teammates will meet with Slavia Prague next, and they are the favourites to win. Advancing to the semis will give Giroud more hope to finish Europa League as top scorer with 1/5. During the quarterfinal Giroud scored a perfect hat-trick when Chelsea thrashed Dynamo Kiev 8-0 on aggregate.
