Below, we run through the top contenders based on <a href=\"https:\/\/sport.netbet.co.uk\/\">NetBet Sport<\/a>\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/sport.netbet.co.uk\/football\/world-cup\/\">latest World Cup odds<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And for more information on the tournament as a whole, check out our handy \u2018<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.netbet.co.uk\/blog\/2026\/05\/26\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-2026-world-cup\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Everything You Need to Know<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019 guide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, let\u2019s begin\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>*All odds are subject to change<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><b>Kylian Mbappe (France) &#8211; 7.00<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mbappe won the Golden Boot in 2022 with eight goals &#8211; including a hat-trick in the final, which France ultimately lost to Argentina. The France captain has 12 World Cup goals overall, and will be hunting down Miroslav Klose\u2019s all-time record of 16 this summer. Mbappe enjoyed another goal-filled season with Real Madrid in 2025-26, netting 42 times in 44 appearances across all competitions. With assist kings in Michael Olise and Rayan Cherki set to provide him with creative support, it is no surprise to see Mbappe listed as the favourite.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Harry Kane (England) &#8211; 8.00<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kane is England\u2019s captain and record scorer, with 78 goals in 112 appearances. Winner of the 2018 Golden Boot, the ex-Tottenham star is also playing the best football of his career ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Kane scored 61 goals in 51 appearances for Bayern Munich across all competitions in 2025-26, a quite ridiculous return. If Thomas Tuchel can design an England XI geared to creating chances for Kane, he could make a mockery of this pre-tournament price.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Lionel Messi (Argentina) &#8211; 13.00<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite being 38 years of age, Messi is still Argentina\u2019s main man. The driving force behind the South American nation\u2019s triumph in 2022, Lionel Scaloni will look to the eight-time Ballon d\u2019Or winner for more inspiration in 2026. Messi is enjoying another stellar year with Inter Miami, tallying 12 goals and seven assists from 14 MLS appearances. Can he roll back the years on the continent he now calls home?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Lamine Yamal (Spain) &#8211; 15.00<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At 18, Barcelona starlet Yamal is already regarded as Spain\u2019s talisman, which is mighty impressive. And 2025-26 was his most prolific scoring season to date, the winger netting 16 times in 29 La Liga appearances. However, tread carefully when looking at Yamal\u2019s pre-tournament odds, as the hamstring injury he picked up towards the end of the domestic campaign could potentially hamper his World Cup impact &#8211; at least in the early stages.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Erling Haaland (Norway) &#8211; 15.00<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Norway are viewed as a \u2018dark horse\u2019 for World Cup glory after a perfect qualifying campaign, and in Haaland they have the most prolific striker on the international scene. The Manchester City star has 55 goals from just 49 appearances, a level of efficiency that no one else comes close to on this stage. If Norway can live up to the pre-World Cup hype, Haaland should be firmly in contention for the Golden Boot.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Mikel Oyarzabal (Spain) &#8211; 17.00<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oyarzabal is without question the best wildcard option in terms of a Top Goalscorer pick. The Real Sociedad ace is the starting striker for the pre-tournament favourites, and his record in a Spain jersey is simply magnificent. Oyarzabal has 24 goals in 52 matches for La Roja, including the winner in the Euro 2024 final vs England. And a 15-goal La Liga campaign in 2025-26 only further highlights his potential value in this market.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Ousmane Dembele (France) &#8211; 21.00<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no denying Dembele\u2019s quality, especially in recent years with Paris Saint-Germain where he won a Ballon d&#8217;Or. That being said, his price is perhaps one to be viewed with a degree of scepticism. Mbappe is the main man for France, while Dembele also runs the risk of being upstaged by the brilliant Olise &#8211; or even Desire Doue! And a return of just seven goals from 58 international appearances only adds to the arguement that he is best avoided here.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) &#8211; 21.00<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ronaldo is the record scorer in men\u2019s international football (143 goals), but he has never really found his groove on the World Cup stage. Now 41 years old, it feels like the opportunity to dominate a tournament has passed him by. That being said, Ronaldo netted 13 times in his previous 14 appearances for Portugal, and spearheaded Al-Nassr\u2019s 2025-26 Saudi Pro League title win with 28 goals in 30 matches. Could he shock the world one last time?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What are the best tips for betting on the 2026 World Cup Golden Boot winner?<\/h2>\n<p>When betting on the 2026 World Cup Golden Boot winner, focus on players from teams expected to reach the latter stages, as they will have more matches to score goals. Look for proven goalscorers who take penalties, as spot kicks can significantly boost a player&#8217;s tally. Mbappe, Kane, Messi, Ronaldo and Haaland are all certain to be on penalty duty, which increases their appeal.<\/p>\n<p>Study recent international form, injury records and likely playing time before placing an outright bet on NetBet. It is also worth considering favourable group-stage fixtures, where top forwards may score multiple times early in the tournament. For example, Mbappe could rack up plenty of goals in France&#8217;s match against Iraq.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When you choose NetBet Sport, you can enjoy a whole range of top-quality sports and markets.
