Ballon d’Or Predictions & Odds (2025)

A look at the latest betting for the 2025 Ballon d’Or award, which is set to be presented to the winning footballer at a ceremony on Monday evening.

In a change of tradition, the Ballon d’Or will be awarded to the best men’s player of the 2024/25 in September rather than December and the voting closed for the accolade some time ago.

There were several standout performers across European football last season, with the likes of Ousmane Dembele, Lamine Yamal and Mohamed Salah shining on the big stage week in, week out.

Ballon d’Or Odds 2025:

Punters can bet on the 2025 Ballon d’Or winner at William Hill and here is the current state of the market:

• Ousmane Dembele – 1/6
• Lamine Yamal – 4/1
• Vitinha – 16/1
• Mohamed Salah – 16/1
• Raphinha – 28/1
• Kylian Mbappe – 33/1
• Cole Palmer – 33/1
• Khvicha Kvaratskhelia – 40/1
• Achraf Hakimi – 40/1
• Bar – 50/1

Dembele played a crucial role in Paris Saint-Germain’s maiden Champions League victory and he is the clear favourite to win the Ballon d’Or for the first time. However, Lamine Yamal – almost certainly a winner in waiting – is hot on his heels in the market.

• Jude Bellingham (England, Real Madrid)
• Ousmane Dembélé (France, Paris Saint-Germain)
• Gianluigi Donnarumma (Italy, Paris Saint-Germain/Manchester City)
• Désiré Doué (France, Paris Saint-Germain)
• Denzel Dumfries (Netherlands, Inter)
• Serhou Guirassy (Guinea, Borussia Dortmund)
• Viktor Gyökeres (Sweden, Sporting CP/Arsenal)
• Erling Haaland (Norway, Manchester City)
• Achraf Hakimi (Morocco, Paris Saint-Germain)
• Harry Kane (England, Bayern)
• Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (Georgia, Napoli/Paris Saint-Germain)
• Robert Lewandowski (Poland, Barcelona)
• Alexis Mac Allister (Argentina, Liverpool)
• Lautaro Martínez (Argentina, Inter)
• Kylian Mbappé (France, Real Madrid)
• Scott McTominay (Scotland, Napoli)
• Nuno Mendes (Portugal, Paris Saint-Germain)
• João Neves (Portugal, Paris Saint-Germain)

• Declan Rice (England, Arsenal)
• Fabián Ruiz (Spain, Paris Saint-Germain)
• Mohamed Salah (Egypt, Liverpool)
• Virgil van Dijk (Netherlands, Liverpool)
• Vinícius Júnior (Brazil, Real Madrid)
• Vitinha (Portugal, Paris Saint-Germain)
• Florian Wirtz (Germany, Leverkusen/Liverpool)
• Lamine Yamal (Spain, Barcelona)

The eyes of the football world will be on the Ballon d’Or ceremony on Monday evening and the betting suggests it is a two-way battle between Dembele and Yamal. Who will come out on top? Only time will tell…

With the World Cup looming next summer, could we see an England player claim the coveted individual award? If the Three Lions are successful in 2026, an Englishman could be set to win the Ballon d’Or for the first time since Michael Owen in 2001.
