The season is coming to an end, and the battle for the best scorer is intensifying. At the top of the top scorers list so far are Mbappe, Telier and Ben Yeddell, who are also the strongest contenders for the top scorer.
Mbappe currently leads the top scorers list with 20 goals, followed by Terry and Ben Yedder with 18 goals. Gaeten Labod finished fourth with 14 goals.
Ben Yedder – number one penalty shooter
Since returning to number one on the top scorer list in 29 rounds, the 31-year-old Ben Yeddell is struggling to chase his first top scorer title. In former coach Nico Kovac's final games in charge, he was on the bench. After Philip Clement took charge, he was appreciated by the Belgian coach and regained his confidence.
As the number one player on the Monaco attacking side, the France international has an advantage over his two rivals: he is monaco's penalty shootout. Since the start of the season, he has scored seven penalties (39% of his total goals), while Mbappe has only scored 2 and Terrier 1. This plays a key role in his ability to achieve the best scorer of the season.
Telier – dominates the skies over the pitch
An all-around goalscorer, Ben Yedder has a right-footed goal rate of 56% and a left-footed goal rate of 33%. Mbappe and Telier prefer their usual feet, with their right foot scoring rates of 71% and 76% respectively. The Parisian scored very little (18 per cent) with his left foot, while Tellier has scored no goal with his left foot this season.
Terrier, on the other hand, dominates the trio with a header that has scored four goals (24% of his total goals) this season. Ben Yedder and Mbappe both scored just two headers.
Mbappe – Record-maker
With three-time top scorer accolades, Mbappe continues to forge ahead in French football's all-time record. If he tops the top scorers list again this season, the Parisian will be the third player to finish as the top scorer in Ligue 1 for four consecutive years.
At the same time, he is also likely to become the first player to win the titles of Top Scorer and Best Assist in Ligue 1 in the same season since the creation of the Best Assists Ranking (07/08 season).
Kylian Mbappe scored 12 of his 20 goals at home (60%). Only Ben Yedder scored more goals than he did, with 14 goals and home goals accounting for 78 percent of his record. In contrast, Terrier has scored 53 per cent of away goals this season, making him the player with the most away goals in the league (9).
Who will win the crown
Of the three, Teriya and Mbappe have both scored hat-tricks this season. Terrier has been fantastic this season, having previously scored only nine goals in both 18/19 (Lyon) and 20/21 (Rennes).
Mbappe leads Ben Yedder (3) and Tellier (1) on 4 breaks, but is still far from his 33 goals in 18/19. Ben Yeder is likely to break his record of 20 goals last year.
In recent weeks, whether at the club or in France, Mbappe seems to be on fire. At the same time, the state of his two opponents is equally hot.
Terryer's recent shooting percentage is 25%. Ben Yeder also scored 28 goals in those two months. Kylian Kylian Mbappe has scored 18 goals recently, but the shot conversion rate is only 15%, but the talented player has always been able to break through people's doubts about the data and show a stunning performance. Who will win the top scorer in the final stages of this season in Ligue 1? We'll see!
