Ballon d’Or 2022 betting: What are odds for the Ballon d’Or winner? Karim Benzema and Erling Haaland chances

Unlike previous years, there is one clear favourite for the Ballon d’Or, which is showcased by the betting odds.

Traditionally, the award is given to the best player over a calendar year from January to December.

With Benzema at 1/33, there is then a big drop to the second favourite, who is Erling Haaland at 12/1.

He has made a stunning start to his new chapter at Manchester City, but this won’t be taken into account for this year’s Ballon d’Or. It’s only his final season at Borussia Dortmund that will be factored in.

Kylian Mbappe is next at 16/1 after he finished as Ligue 1’s top goalscorer for a fourth consecutive season with 28 goals.

Current and former Liverpool players’ Ballon d’Or odds

Then come Liverpool duo Mohamed Salah and Virgil Van Dijk, both of whom played a big role in their almost-historic quadruple where the Reds played every single domestic and European game possible in a season.

Whilst they fell short of the Champions League and the Premier League, they did the cup double with the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup.

Robert Lewandowski, Kevin De Bruyne, Vinicius Junior and Harry Kane also have the same odds.

Ronaldo Ballon d’Or odds

The 37-year-old is at 40/1, along with Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold.
