23.00

Decimal odds

~4% chance

Brazil desperately want to reclaim the title. Vinicius is their best player. More creator than finisher historically, but his goal rate improves every season.

26.00

Decimal odds

~4% chance

First-choice striker for defending champions Argentina. If Messi provides the assists, Lautaro scores the goals. Good value if Argentina go deep.

Our Analysis

Best pick: Mbappé (leads with 8 goals)
Mbappé leads with 8 goals and 3 assists — Messi is level on goals but has fewer assists. France in the semis means Mbappé plays at least one more game. The clearest pick in the race.

Value pick: Lamine Yamal (19.00)
Spain are the tournament favourites. If Spain reach the final, Yamal plays 7 games. He's 18, in frightening form, and has no fear on the big stage. At 19.00 there's real value.

Dark horse no more: Haaland (7 goals, Norway in the quarterfinal)
We warned Norway would exit early — they're in the quarterfinal. Haaland knocked out Brazil with a brace and sits just one goal behind Mbappé. If Norway reach the semis, he's a genuine contender.
