World Cup 2026: Best Odds, Tips & Accumulator | July 8 (Day 28)

Golden Boot Winner - 11/10

While Kylian Mbappe may have endured a mixed domestic campaign for Real Madrid, he once again has saved his best football for France.

A slow-ish start against Senegal was quickly negated with a second half brace, before he bagged twice in the next group game with Iraq.

Despite France scoring four against Norway, Mbappe failed to find the net, something he put right against Sweden - scoring twice again in the last 32.

A decisive penalty against Paraguay in the last 16 took his tally to seven for the tournament and he and France currently look unstoppable.

Golden Boot Winner - 13/10

The alluring and enduring quality of Lionel Messi has come to the fore once again at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Many were expecting Messi's impact to lessen at this tournament, a theory that was quickly squashed with his opening game hattrick against Algeria.

A brace against Austria followed, before he came off the bench to net again in the final group game with Jordan.

He opened the scoring in Argentina's chaotic extra time win over Cape Verde and he continues to be the talisman for holders Argentina.

Golden Boot Winner - 7/1

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has been in inspired form for Norway and he will be looking to keep their charge going.

An opening game brace against Iraq was backed up with another pair of strikes in the win over Senegal, which saw them qualify for the last 32.

Haaland was rested against France but came back with a bang to net the winner against Cote d'Ivoire, before he dominated Brazil, scoring twice in one of the all-time World Cup performances.

His Golden Boot hopes hang on how far Norway can go in the tournament but if Haaland keeps scoring, anything feels possible.

Golden Boot Winner - 8/1

2018 Golden Boot winner Harry Kane has aged expertly and his influence on this England team is remarkable.

Thomas Tuchel appears to have this bunch of England players believing in themselves and Kane is at the forefront of that.

Two goals against Croatia and another against Panama, saw England progress as group winners.

He was the difference in their comeback win over DR Congo and his cool penalty saw England prevail against Mexico at the Azteca.

Kane knows what it takes to win the Golden Boot and how he would love to pair that with the World Cup trophy on July 19th.

Golden Boot Winner - 50/1

With games running out, it feels unlikely that Ousmane Dembele will win the Golden Boot but the Ballon d'Or winner is having a tournament to remember.

Alongside French team mate Kylian Mbappe, Dembele continues to carry a serious threat and his hat-trick against Norway in the group stages was a reminder of that.

Demeble also netted in the game before against Iraq, his first major tournament goal and he will be looking to contribute on a personal level to see France over the line in their 2026 FIFA World Cup bid.
