Most Serie A goals 2024/25: Early Capocannoniere favourites, predictions and current standings
The 2024/25 Serie A season is underway, with a host of clubs battling it out for the title.
Of course, most successful teams require a top-class striker, someone who can lead the line and convert pressure into goals. Last season, that man was Lautaro Martinez, whose 24 Serie A goals fired Inter comfortably to the title, finishing 19 points above closest rivals AC Milan — Martinez’s closest goalscoring rival was Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic, but even he finished eight behind the Argentine.

Serie A 2024/25 Capocannoniere predictions
It’s hard to look past Lautaro Martinez topping the goalscoring charts again this season given how dominant he was in 2023/24, especially as he comes into the new campaign fresh from winning the Copa America Golden Boot as Argentina went all the way. However, Martinez will have to buck up his ideas after only scoring in one of his six Serie A matches so far this season, though that was a brace in a recent 3-2 victory over Udinese. Victor Osimhen, who won the trophy in 2022/23, was expected to be his biggest competitor but has now joined Galatasaray on loan. Runner-up Dusan Vlahovic will want to compete, too, and already has five goals.
It’s always worth keeping an eye on Romelu Lukaku given how effective he’s been in Italy over the years, while Martinez’s Inter teammate Marcus Thuram was high up in last season’s standings with 13 goals — a tally he’ll be desperate to improve on. Thuram is the current co-leader, level on seven goals alongside Atalanta’s Mateo Retegui.
