Punters pile in as Swansea City striker Zan Vipotnik becomes new favourite for Championship Golden Boot
The Slovenian forward โ who joined the Swans on 1 August 2024 โ has been in blistering form this season, hitting 10 league goals in 24 Championship appearances so far, plus two more in the EFL Cup.
That scoring streak has sent punters scrambling. According to Oddschecker, 57% of all bets in the last 24 hours have backed the 23โyearโold to finish the season as the divisionโs top scorer.
Vipotnik now leads the market ahead of Southamptonโs Adam Armstrong (7/1) and Coventryโs Haji Wright (12/1).
Oddschecker spokesman Chris Rogers said:
โA superb scoring spell for Swansea number nine Zan Vipotnik has seen the Slovenianโs odds for top scorer halved from 12/1 into 6/1. Punters have piled in on the former Bordeaux man with 57% of bets over the last 24 hours backing the powerful forward to finish the season as Championship top scorer.โ
The Swansโ No.9 has quickly become a fan favourite since arriving from Bordeaux, with his physical style, movement and finishing giving Swansea a focal point theyโve lacked in recent seasons.
Standing at 1.85m and playing as a centreโforward, he has also become a regular for Slovenia, earning 22 senior caps.
