Erling Haaland is already a record-breaker at Manchester City. His amazing five-goal salvo against RB Leipzig on Tuesday 14 March was followed by an FA Cup hat-trick against Burnley before the international break. It means that he has reached 42 goals in all competitions for the season, which is a club record. We should expect the final number to exceed 50.

Haaland has scored 28 times in the Premier League this season, and it now seems highly likely that the Norwegian will break Andy Cole's record of 34 goals, even if his goal rate has slowed down since the beginning of the year. His demolition of Leipzig illustrates how devastating he can be in short bursts.

The best betting apps not only think that Haaland is likely to win the PFA Player of the Year award this season, but they also anticipate that he might reach 40 Premier League goals before the campaign ends, with the forward having four EPL hat-tricks on the board already.

The betting sites are less convinced that the Norwegian will notch 45 or 50 goals for Manchester City in the league, and it's possible that the forward will be rested if the team prosper in the Champions League. Nevertheless, there's an attractive 25/1 available if you think that Haaland will hit a half century.

Alan Shearer was 22 when he scored his first goal before going on to score a record 260 Premier League goals. Haaland is also 22. Could he set a new record in England's top flight? If you have a view on how the Leeds-born striker is going to perform for the Cityzens domestically and in Europe as the season progresses, this article can hopefully steer you in the right direction, and there are lots of different betting angles available.

Can Haaland Fire 50 Premier League Goals This Season

Erling Haaland hasn't looked back since his opening-day brace against West Ham, with the Norwegian averaging more than one goal per Premier League match right now. He has managed to find the net 28 times in 27 games, with a combined eight goals against Leipzig and Burnley hinting that he could be set for a bumper total in the top flight.

The latest bookmaker odds suggest that scoring 50 goals might prove beyond the forward, although there is 6/4 available that he hits the 40-goal mark for Manchester City, while there's the slightly bigger 5/2 that we see 42 or more goals scored by the end of the campaign. 

It's clear that Haaland's exploits domestically are a reason why Manchester City are trading at short prices to win multiple trophies this season, with William Hill offering 14/1 that the player scores a hat-trick against Manchester United in the FA Cup final.

Bookies Expect Record-Breaking Season from Haaland

Erling Haaland had a number of injury issues last season, which only allowed him to make 24 appearances for Borussia Dortmund in the German Bundesliga. It didn’t stop the Norwegian from scoring 22 goals, and his overall stats at the Westfalenstadion suggested goals would be on the cards at the Etihad. However, he is currently surpassing expectations, forcing the bookies to revise their original odds.

William Hill is offering odds of 15/2 that Haaland manages to notch more than 45 goals for Manchester City in the Premier League this season. It's easy to see him getting close to that total depending on the amount of game time he is afforded. After all, the Champions League quarter-final double header against Bayern Munich is sharply in focus.

How Many Hat-Tricks Can Haaland Score?

Erling Haaland's three goals against Wolverhampton Wanderers in January was his fourth hat-trick of the Premier League season, and the Norwegian might not be finished on that front. He has previously found the net three times against Manchester United, Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace, with the bookies speculating on whether he can keep plundering goals in volume.

You can currently get 11/4 that Haaland scores at least six Premier League hat-tricks this season, and he needs to achieve two more to reach that total. There are still plenty of games for him to fill his boots, although perhaps the Champions League action might compromise his game time domestically.

However, the ease with which he scored five goals against RB Leipzig means that two more EPL hat-tricks seem eminently achievable for a player who will be bidding to make history at the north-west club. He was also on hand with a three-timer against Burnley in the FA Cup to demonstrate his scoring power against a team riding high at the top of the Championship.

Will Haaland Win the Ballon d'Or?

Erling Haaland could be the missing piece in the jigsaw as far as Manchester City's quest to win a European Cup is concerned. He can lay claim to being the most deadly striker on the planet right now and perhaps he will be among the leading 2023 Ballon d'Or contenders, with the bookies offering 8/1 that the Norwegian gets the award in December.

While Lionel Messi is a warm favourite after helping Argentina lift the 2022 World Cup, if Haaland helps Manchester City to a Champions League success, then his odds will surely tumble. It also looks likely that the Norwegian will land the PFA Player of the Year award this season and he's trading at big odds-on.

Could Haaland Help City Finally Conquer Europe?

The UEFA Champions League has long been the Holy Grail for Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, and the Spaniard might feel as though Haaland provides a much stronger chance to become continental champions. Last season, City were made to pay for missed chances against Real Madrid at the semi-final stage, but it might have been a different story with the predatory forward on the pitch.

Unibet have Manchester City as the 7/4 favourites to claim the European Cup for the first time in their history. Some customers will have previously had their fingers burnt by backing Guardiola's side to conquer the continent, but Haaland offers a reassuring presence in attack.

These odds have been cut during the season and an 8-1 aggregate win over RB Leipig means that Manchester City will be feeling confident about their chances of glory, especially with Haaland firing in the goals. However, Bayern Munich are sure to be formidable opponents and then might come a semi-final clash against either Chelsea or Bayern Munich.

Will Haaland Be the 2023 Ballon d'Or Winner?

Karim Benzema was able to claim the 2022 Ballon d'Or recently, with the Frenchman enjoying a stunning year which saw him power Real Madrid to the Champions League final against all the odds. Real were then able to win as outsiders against Liverpool, with the striker set to be given the ultimate individual accolade in football.

However, attention will soon turn to this year's award, and it's worth keeping your eyes peeled when it comes to the 2023 Ballon d'Or betting market. If you can snap up Haaland at a decent price, you might find that his scoring exploits continue to shorten his odds as the season wears on.
