Donyell Malen has drifted from 123/200 to 1/1 with Bet365 to be the Italian Serie A top goalscorer, with 21/20 now the best price available at Betway.
The odds on Donyell Malen finishing as Italian Serie A top goalscorer have drifted out across the board, with all three bookmakers easing their prices after his blank in Roma's 2-2 draw with Inter Milan.
Malen sits top of the market as the clear favourite, with a best price of 21/20 with Betway well ahead of the chasing pack.
Three of three bookmakers have eased their odds on the Roma forward, with his price drifting out from 123/200 to 1/1 across the market, with Bet365 among those who moved.
He drew a blank in Roma's 2-2 draw with Inter Milan at the Stadio Olimpico on 19 September 2026, leaving his league tally at six goals in five matches.
Inter's Lautaro Martinez, next in the betting at 7/2 with Betway, hurt Malen's cause with two second-half goals in that same fixture.
Donyell Malen had made a flying start to the season, banging in six goals across Roma's opening four Serie A fixtures, and that early scoring burst is exactly why he sits at the head of this market in the first place. The problem for backers is what happened next. Against Inter Milan on 19 September 2026, the Dutchman came up empty, with his best moment a 68th-minute effort turned away by goalkeeper Josep Martinez. Roma and Inter had both arrived unbeaten as the only two sides in the division with four wins from four, so this was always going to be a stiff test of Malen's hot streak, and a blank in a game of that size gives the layers a reason to react.
That is where the market movement comes in. The drift in the odds on Malen to be the Italian Serie A top goalscorer (easing from 123/200 out to 1/1 with Bet365 after all three bookmakers lengthened their prices) is a clear signal that sentiment has cooled. A single quiet afternoon does not undo six goals in five outings, and the fact that 21/20 is still available at Betway tells you the layers still rate him as the man to beat. But the direction of travel is clear: a stalled tally, plus a reminder of the rival firepower on show at the Stadio Olimpico, has nudged his price the wrong way for those already on board.
Italian Serie A Top Goalscorer odds
The best price on Donyell Malen is 21/20 with Betway, with the shortest of the three quotes on him coming in at 16/19 with Unibet, and 1/1 with 10Bet in between. Take the top of the market and Betway leads the way for value on the Roma man.

Who is favourite to be the Italian Serie A top goalscorer?
Even after the drift, Malen is still the clear favourite at a best price of 21/20 with Betway, and the gap back to the field is a healthy one. As the central forward in Gian Piero Gasperini's attacking Roma set-up, he gets the service and the shots to keep firing, which is what earned him top billing here. The chasing pack is led by Lautaro Martinez, Inter's captain and main striker, who is the obvious threat after his double against Roma, while Como's centre-forward Anastasios Douvikas is a much longer shot at the head of the outsiders.
Donyell Malen – 21/20 with Betway, the clear favourite and Roma's central forward under Gasperini.
Lautaro Martinez – 7/2 with Betway, Inter's captain and leading marksman, fresh off a brace against Roma.
Anastasios Douvikas – available in the market as a longer-priced option, the Como 1907 centre-forward heading up the outsiders.
Rasmus Hojlund – 16/1 with Betway, another name for those hunting a bigger price in the market.

Can Donyell Malen finish as Italian Serie A top goalscorer?
The picture has not really changed at the top, even if the price has. Malen has six Serie A goals to his name after Roma's fifth match of the season, and with Roma and Inter still sitting as joint leaders, he remains the man the market fears most in this race for the golden boot. One blank against Inter is not a season, and 21/20 with Betway still reads as a fair reflection of a striker leading the scoring charts. The next chance to add to the tally comes when Roma travel to Como 1907 on 11 October 2026 after the international break, and a return to scoring form there would soon see those eased prices pulled back in.
