10. Thierno Barry (Villarreal)
Kicking off the list is Villarreal's Thierno Barry, who boasts a total of seven goals in La Liga so far in the 2024/25 campaign. The Yellow Submarine are enjoying a fine season, currently sitting in fifth place in the table with 30 points from 18 games played at the time of writing.
9. Fabio Silva (Las Palmas)
Ninth is a player only on loan in Spain in Fabio Silva. The Portuguese striker is on loan at Las Palmas from Wolves in the Premier League, and boasts five goals in total in La Liga so far.
8. Iago Aspas (Celta Vigo)
37-year-old veteran Iago Aspas features in eighth spot in our list. The Celta Vigo man has netted six times in the league so far this term.
7. Alexander Sorloth (Atletico Madrid)
The first of two forwards from Atletico Madrid comes in in seventh spot in Alexander Sorloth. The Norwegian star has scored eight league goals since joining from Villarreal in the summer transfer window.
6. Ante Budimir (Osasuna)
Ante Budimir has simply been a revelation for Osasuna, hitting double figures in the league already with a total of 10 goals so far. His team are currently enjoying life in the top half of the table in 10th place.
5. Sandro Ramirez (Las Palmas)
Perhaps a surprise name breaks into the top five in Sandro Ramirez. Long gone are the days that he only managed to net twice in 17 senior appearances for Barcelona, and he has scored seven goals in total for Las Palmas in La Liga so far this campaign.
Two of those have come from direct free-kicks, which is one particular trend to look out for in betting markets for future games involving the 29-year-old.
4. Inaki Williams (Athletic Bilbao)
Inaki Williams is the highest-ranked player in the list not from Atletico Madrid, Barcelona or Real Madrid. The Athletic Bilbao man has only netted four league goals though so far, the lowest total in the top 10.
All of Williams' strikes have come in Bilbao wins as well, which is one trend to monitor with betting markets.
3. Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid)
In third place is Frenchman Antoine Griezmann, who also plays deeper for Atletico Madrid as well as a striker. His seven goals have helped Atleti lead the way in the table at this stage of the season.
Six of them have also come on home soil, which is one trend to watch out for when betting on Atleti matches.
2. Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid)
Kylian Mbappe has struggled somewhat to settle into the striker role at Real Madrid, with Los Blancos often finding it difficult to get the balance right in attack. Still, he has managed 10 La Liga goals so far, and should expect plenty more in the second half of the campaign.
Four of Mbappe's goals have been scored between the 60th and 75th minute in games, with two in the 75th minute exactly, which is one particular trend to keep an eye out for.
1. Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona)
Top of the tree unsurprisingly is Barcelona's Polish talisman Robert Lewandowski. He has netted a monster 16 goals in the league so far this term, and is currently the division's top scorer.
Six of Lewandowski's strikes have been the first of the match, so backing him to be the first goalscorer in betting markets seems like a sensible trend to follow.
