About this market

France and Argentina lead the market at 27.5% each due to star forwards Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi delivering early goals in the 2026 World Cup group stage. Mbappé netted a brace to break France's all-time World Cup scoring record in a win over Senegal, while Messi recorded a hat trick—his first in the tournament—for Argentina against Algeria, placing him atop the Golden Boot standings with three goals. England sits at 19.5% behind Harry Kane's established form and squad depth, and Norway's 9.5% reflects Erling Haaland's two-goal debut performance. These recent results from marquee attackers, combined with deep tournament runs expected for the leading nations, sustain the tight clustering among top contenders.
