It is expected that some of the competition may hit a rough patch or miss games that will drop them down the standings. While this can happen in Giovinco’s case as well, there are other threats to his title lurking just outside the top five.
Last season, Sebastian Giovinco made it look easy on his way to capturing the MLS Golden Boot award. He bested Kei Kamara on the number of assists tie breaker as both stood at 22 goals for the season. This season, Giovinco has continued to find the back of the net, but he has plenty of competition as the season heads towards the midpoint.
