World Cup 2022 odds: Harry Kane, Ronaldo, Mbappe Lead Golden Boot futures
The 2022 FIFA World Cup kicks off at the end of this week, and now that the draw has been set, soccer (futbol) futures bettors are looking for any sure goal to boot up their bankrolls.
One of those bets would be the Golden Boot, the award presented to the top goalscorer of the international extravaganza.
Will Harry Kane — 2018’s Golden Boot winner — repeat his performance in Russia as he captains England with his prolific striking ability? Can Neymar lead Brazil’s formidable team in scoring as they attempt to win the World Cup for the first time since 2002? Will Ronaldo or Messi go on a tear in the fifth — and most likely last — Cup for both of these all-time greats?
As the World Cup approaches, let's take a look at the Golden Boot odds for the top players in the world (with all odds via FOX Bet).

*Odds as of 11/14/2022
- 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 +1200, these odds will certainly shorten if Argentina can overcome their poor performances against European competition and go on a strong run.
- Karim Benzema — 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.
