- Mbappe is the best player on a France team looking to repeat as champs. He has 17 goals so far for Paris Saint-Germain this season and is largely regarded as the best young player in the world. He scored four goals in 2018 and can further solidify his status with a strong showing in this World Cup.
- Lionel Messi — Mbappe’s PSG teammate — is 34-years-old and looking to take his Argentine team deep into this tournament. Currently, at +1400, these odds will certainly shorten if Argentina can overcome their poor performances against European competition and go on a strong run.
- Karim Benzima — scoring a goal a game this season for Real Madrid — is back on France after being kept off the team in 2018. The immensely talented forward is one of the best strikers of his generation and with a chip on his shoulder, he could be primed for an explosion this World Cup.
- Looking for a longshot? Per FOX Sports research, Senegal's Sadio Mané has scored 111 goals for Liverpool since joining them in the 2016-17 season, with 52 of them coming since the start of 2019 (all comps). FOX Bet currently has him at +6600 to win the Golden Boot, with a whopping 38 players ahead of him with shorter odds. This could be a great value bet considering Senegal currently is projected to make it out of Group A at +450, alongside the Netherlands (-250).
So there you have it. Who are you throwing a couple of bucks down on to win the Golden Boot?
