Punters can't stop backing Oli McBurnie for Championship top goal scorer

The Swans frontman has three goals so far and could represent value in the market.

Swansea striker Oli McBurnie is the most popular recent pick among all Championship players to finish up as top scorer. 

He’s at the top of the punters pecking order for who will win the individual award come the end of the season, ahead of the likes of red-hot favourites Jay Rodriguez and Neil Maupay. 

McBurnie has attracted 64% of all bets in the last 24 hours, forcing bookies to take immediate action. 

The 22-year-old has had his odds cut in half from the pre-season price offered, from 40/1 last month into as short as 20/1. 28/1 is still available with one firm. 

Oddschecker spokesperson George Elek: “Swansea fans were concerned about a lack of firepower in their squad before the season started, but the form of Oli McBurnie has gone a long way to allaying those fears with his goal scoring exploits. 

“If Swansea are to bounce back to the top tier, he will surely have a huge part to play and his odds being slashed for the Championship Golden Boot from 40s into 20s show how important he has been so far.”
