The whole is currently waiting for major sports like football to come back. Football punters especially feel the urge. Well, top online bookmakers are doing whatever they can to offer their clients the best product.

Since it is rather a matter of time when major European leagues will resume their action, one of the leading online operators is already offering the market on whoever will become the first goalscorer when football returns.

Who might that be, though? Messi? Neymar? Ronaldo or maybe Salah? Not quite. The bookmaker is heavily favouring Borussia Dortmund’s striker Erling Braut Haaland to score the first goal after the hiatus, giving him the odds of 2.75 (7/4).

Interesting but his closest challenger is PSG’s Neymar, who’s listed at the odds of 6.00 (5/1). Other top European scorers like Coutinho, Messi and Salah are listed at 6.00 (5/1) and 7.00 (6/1) respectively. Ronaldo fans should rather not expect their idol to score any time soon considering the situation in Italy and the odds of 17.00 (16/1) that he got from the book.

So where do these odds come from? Well, it is more simple than you think. Assuming that Italy and Spain and even the UK will not resume first due to the obvious reasons and all the campaigns continue from where they left off, then Germany’s BvB vs Bayern Munich matchup is looking like the best shot to be the first matchup after the return.

Having said that it immediately puts up Haaland and Coutinho at the top of the market. On the other hand, Germany is not the only country that is likely to get cleared first, France, along with its Ligue 1, is also there. Using the same assumption, the first match of the French top-tier should be PSG vs Nice. You already know what it means, Neymar never disappoints.

Whether you decide to go with Haaland, Neymar or Coutinho, it is still too early to call the shots. Let us know your predictions in the comment section below. Stay safe and happy betting!
