Strømsgodset's Marcus Pedersen is expected to continue his goal scoring form
Bookies expect a lot from Bendtner, but we can't second their opinion
Last season's top scorer, Franck Boli has found his scoring boots in Norway

Strømsgodset forward Marcus Pedersen is the favorite to become the top scorer in Norway this year. However, we believe that last season’s Golden Boot winner, Franck Boli is going to be effective in front of the goal as well. There's a very narrow margin between the best forwards in the league, but we've made up our minds. Here are our Eliteserien 2019 top scorer betting odds and predictions.

Marcus Pedersen	6.00
Nicklas Bendtner	8.00
Franck Boli	8.00
Samuel Adegbenro	9.00
Daniel Chima Chukwu	9.00

Eliteserien is the first division of the Norwegian football league system. The next season starts on 30th March and is going to last until 1st December. That differs from most leagues in Europe, but the weather conditions in Scandinavia require a schedule like that. According to our latest review about Unibet Sportsbook they have a great variety of bets when it comes to Norwegian football. With their help, we’ve made our Eliteserien 2019 winner predictions in one of our previous articles. This time, we’re going to talk about the players and discuss Unibet Sportsbook’s Eliteserien 2019 top scorer betting odds.

Pedersen is going to continue his amazing run

Strømsgodset forward Marcus Pedersen has been on fire in the last couple of years. It’s no surprise that online sportsbook sites in Norway believe he’s the favorite to become the top scorer in 2019. Pedersen tried himself in the Netherlands a few years ago, where he played for Vitesse. He also had a short spell in England at Barnsley. However, he couldn’t really settle in neither of the places, which made him return to Norway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rF-UBqRTmhE

Pedersen didn’t have a lot of success in England, but he did score a screamer for Barnsley

In 2015 he’s returned to Strømsgodset, where he’s been performing better than ever. Though he finished in the 13th position with his team, individually, Pedersen is having a successful time. The 28-year-old scored an impressive amount of 42 goals in his 72 Eliteserien performances since his return. Those numbers prove that he’s definitely one of the best forwards in the league. He seems even more valuable if we look at the lack of support coming from his teammates. He still has quite a few years in football - it’s going to be exciting to see what he’s capable of.

Bendtner’s issues off the pitch could affect his game

Former Arsenal player Nicklas Bendtner signed for Rosenborg in 2017. Since then, he’s been unstoppable: Bendtner managed to score 24 goals in 52 matches. He’s actually netted 19 times in his first year in Norway, which made him the top scorer of the league. While that was a great achievement, and Rosenborg definitely has everything to support their striker, we’re not so sure about his next season. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COL0bDQEYrM

These are the goals that made Bendtner the top scorer in 2017

Bendtner’s attitude has always been questionable and he’s been having a lot of problems off the pitch. In November, he received a 50-day jail sentence after he was assaulting a taxi driver. Therefore, even though Unibet Sportsbook believes he’s the second most likely player to become the top scorer this year, we can’t second their opinion. In fact, we believe he doesn’t have the right mindset to repeat his success, and we don’t think he will become the top scorer of Eliteserien in 2019.

Franck Boli has everything to become a legend in Norway

As we’re going through the best Eliteserien 2019 top scorer betting odds we must mention Stabæk’s Franck Boli. With a respectful amount of 17 goals Boli was last year’s top scorer in Norway. He started playing for Stabæk when he was 18, but left his club for one and a half years. A Chinese club called Liaoning Whowin signed him for a fortune back in 2015. However, he returned quickly after not scoring at all in 20 matches for the Asian side. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSjfwN3xx4Q

The previous season was magnificent for Boli

After a year on loan at Aalesund, he made his way back to Stabæk, and he’s been in a great goal scoring form ever since. The African forward clearly found a second home at Nadderud Stadion, and he’s expected to shine under Henning Berg throughout this season. He has everything to become a local legend there. If he manages to stay ruthless in front of the goal, he can easily collect his second Golden Boot in Norway. Furthermore, we must mention that Unibet Sportsbook pays quite well in case you place a winning bet on Boli. If you’re a fan of long term bets, here's one for you to consider.
