2012/2013 Ligue 1 campaign hasn’t been kind to goalkeepers and very few games have gone goalless this season
Things are getting clearer and clearer with each day passed in the top division of French football. Viewers are witnessing goals galore this season, and teams are apparently playing more aggressive game this time around as compared to the seasons before.
Olympique de Marseille have recaptured the form that has helped them win so many titles in French football. Paris Saint-Germain have spent heavily in the transfer market this season bringing in some of the best players in the world at Parc des Princes. Olympique
Lyonnais are playing good football at the moment and are certain to rival the likes of PSG and Marseille for the Championelle.
However, defending champions, Montpellier Herault have hit a bump in their journey to defend the prestigious Ligue 1 crown, and 2010/2011 champions of France, Lille, have been struggling to find the winning formula.
With an eye on the collective performances of the teams in the league this season, several players in Ligue 1 have the ability to take the world by storm with their goalscoring abilities.
The likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Andre Pierre-Gignac, Loic Remy, Lisandro Lopez, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Souleymane-Camara-c33845,
Bafetimbi Gomis, are in the race for the Golden Boot.
Bettor.com now takes a look at top contenders for this season’s Ligue 1 Golden Boot.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic – Paris Saint-Germain
Paris Saint-Germain surprised many when they announced the signing of the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sweden-c3015 international in the summer. The 31-year-old is one of the best finishers in the world at the moment and has been tipped to win the Golden Boot in his debut season in France.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 man has plenty of experience under his belt and has more than 200 goals to his name. And Les Parisiens are already reaping the fruit of their investment in the former Milan striker.
The Swede is scoring goals for pleasure and other teams in the league are apparently unable to stop the 31-year-old from finding the back of the net.
In the previous season with AC Milan, Ibrahimovic scored 28 goals in Serie A winning the Golden Boot in the end. And the player is expected to score a lot of goals in Ligue 1 this season, and bets are on the Sweden international to win the 2012/2013 Ligue
1 Golden Boot.
Andre-Pierre Gignac – http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international has been plagued by a number of injury problems in recent past. After spending most part of the last season on the sidelines, the 26-year-old has returned to fitness and form in an astonishing fashion this season.
The Frenchman, who only managed to score a single goal in the previous campaign, is already among the leading goal scorers this season and his goalscoring ability is one of the main reasons behind Marseille’s fine form.
While the focus in Ligue 1 in on Paris Saint-Germain’s marquee signing, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029, Andre-Pierre Gignac is slowly coming out of the shadows. Couple of brilliant goals against the Parisiens in the Clasico showed the world what he is capable of.
If the 26-year-old manages to stay fit throughout the season, expect the Frenchman to rival Zlatan Ibrahimovic for the Ligue 1 Golden Boot.
