Erling Haaland is now as short as 13/8 to win the Ballon d'Or award
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland is now 13/8 to win the Ballon d'Or award with his record-breaking season showing no signs of stopping.
Haaland was the biggest market mover to win the Ballon d'Or this time last month and his odds have shortened even further from the 5/1 he was back in March.
Bookmakers keep Haaland as the second favourite in the betting market but now give him a 38% chance of winning the Ballon d'Or award just behind Lionel Messi.
Kylian Mbappe is the top scorer in Ligue 1 this campaign with 22 goals and he sits in third place in the odds list for the 2023 Ballon d'Or award this year.
2023 Ballon d'Or Winner | Odds | Probability |
---|---|---|
Lionel Messi | 4/9 | 69.2% |
Erling Haaland | 13/8 | 38.1% |
Kylian Mbappe | 20/1 | 4.8% |
Karim Benzema | 22/1 | 4.3% |
What the expert says..
Erling Haaland has been backed in to 13/8 to win the Ballon d'Or as his record breaking season continues with 48 goals scored so far this campaign!
Lionel Messi remains the odds-on favourite following his World Cup winning campaign
Argentina forward and superstar Lionel Messi remains the betting favourite to win his 8th Ballon d'Or award after his country won the World Cup back in December.
Messi ticked off the last major trophy in his illustrious career with that World Cup win with 42 trophies won out of the 12 competitions that he has played in.
The latest reports from Messi's camp though say he may well be leaving his current club PSG this Summer to rejoin Barcelona with the latest odds now 1/2 that he goes back.
