The odds on Aaron Drinan to be the English League Two top goalscorer shortened from 8/1 to 3/1 as four of seven bookmakers cut prices. Read the movement.
The odds on Aaron Drinan to be the English League Two top goalscorer have been slashed from 8/1 to 3/1 with BetMGM UK, and the Swindon Town forward has crashed a market that looked like a two-horse affair.
Bet Victor currently offer the best price at 6/1, comfortably the leading number on the board.
Four of seven bookmakers have cut their odds on Drinan's bid to finish as the division's leading marksman.
His opener in the draw with Walsall was his sixth league goal of the campaign.
Macauley Langstaff and Kabongo Tshimanga remain joint favourites, so Drinan is the one doing the chasing.
Drinan gave Swindon Town an early lead against Walsall at the Nigel Eady County Ground, turning in Stephan Negru's assist from close range. Tai Sodje's equaliser after the break meant the points were shared in a 1-1 draw, but for the forward himself the afternoon still counted. That was his sixth league goal of the season, and a striker who keeps showing up on the scoresheet in a stubborn, messy division is exactly the profile that gets bookmakers twitchy.
No single trigger for the move has been confirmed, but his role goes a long way to explaining it. Against Walsall, Drinan was the central attacking focal point in a 3-4-1-2, so the service runs through him rather than around him. Strikers who lead the line like that get the volume of looks in front of goal that decides scoring races, and that is reflected in the four of seven bookmakers who have now trimmed his price.

Will Aaron Drinan be the English League Two top goalscorer?
Macauley Langstaff and Kabongo Tshimanga are joint favourites at a best price of 9/2 with Betway, with Aaron Drinan third-shortest at 6/1 with Bet Victor. Both of the joint favourites bagged braces in their latest outings, which tells you the cut on Drinan comes from his own form rather than anyone above him slipping. He has earned his way into the conversation, not been handed it.
Macauley Langstaff – A brace in Salford City's 2-1 win over Crawley Town keeps him level at the top of the market.
Kabongo Tshimanga – Scored twice after the break, including a late penalty, as Barnet came from behind to win at Tranmere Rovers.
Aaron Drinan – The man the market is warming to, at 6/1 with Bet Victor after six league goals this season.
Ollie Pearce – Next in line at 15/2 with Betfred, a reminder that this race runs deeper than the top three.

What does Aaron Drinan need to do to be the English League Two top goalscorer?
The next test could not be more direct. On Tuesday, Swindon Town travel to The Hive Stadium to face Barnet in EFL League Two, which puts Drinan on the same pitch as Barnet's Kabongo Tshimanga, one of the two men he is hunting. A goal on the road there would do more than add to his tally: it would land against a direct rival's side, and those head-to-head nights are where a scoring race swings. Our take is straightforward: the market has moved on Drinan for good football reasons, and Bet Victor currently offer the best price at 6/1. Just remember it is a long season, and nobody hands out goalscoring awards in October.
