The top scorer in a league does not necessarily play for one of the top teams, and in a balanced and unpredictable tournament like the Championship, surprises are always just around the corner. Here is a high-flying suggestion. He plays for Millwall and his name is Mihailo Ivanovic. The 20-year-old has scored 12 goals in his debut season, but seven of those have come in his last eight starts, when he established himself in the starting eleven under Alex Neil. Ivanovic has all the ingredients for a possible promotion.
He is a young striker with a strong physical presence in the air and the ability to finish from outside the box when needed. The variety in the ways he can score will not only improve his personal prospects but also Millwall’s chances of reaching the playoffs. The only doubt about this prediction is how many goals Millwall will score in general this year. They have not been particularly prolific under Neil and are likely to finish in the lower half of the table. However, it is not unrealistic to think that a single player could contribute around 30% of the team’s goals. Let’s say Millwall scores between 50 and 55 goals this season: Ivanovic would end up with around 17 goals, accounting for 30% of the total. Last year, that would have been enough to finish in the top four of the scoring charts. Ivanovic converted the team’s last penalty—the only goal in a 1-0 win over Stoke—last March. He could remain the penalty taker. His goal on his debut against Norwich is priced at 3.50 on Bet365.
The odds for him to be the league’s top scorer are 19.00 on Bet365.
