Soccer Sportsbooks Favor Harry Kane to Win the 2022 FIFA World Cup Golden Boot

The 2022 FIFA World Cup may be six months away, but many of the best soccer betting sites have already released their odds for the Golden Boot.

The early prices indicate that Harry Kane is the favorite to finish atop the scoring charts in Qatar. But with countless world-class names on the bookies’ Golden Boot odds list, the England striker won’t have it all his own way.

Can Romelu Lukaku or Neymar outscore Kane? Will Kylian Mbappe and Karim Benzema dominate for France? What about Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo? Let’s check out the odds.

If the 2022 FIFA World Cup Golden Boot odds at 10Bet are anything to go by, Kane (6.50) is in pole position to finish as the top goalscorer for the second tournament running.

Belgium’s Lukaku (10.00) is the bookmakers’ second favorite, with Mbappe (10.00), Neymar (10.00), and Benzema (11.00) rounding out the top five.

Lautaro Martinez (13.00), Alvaro Morata (17.00), and Memphis Depay (19.00) complete the top ten. Other notable names outside the top ten include Robert Lewandowski (21.00), Vinicius Junior (26.00), and Raheem Sterling (34.00).

So, what makes Kane the bookies’ Golden Boot favorite?

First and foremost, Kane knows what it takes to win the Golden Boot. The England striker will head to Qatar as the reigning Golden Boot winner after scoring six goals in seven games at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

After bagging a brace against Tunisia in the opening match, Kane netted a hat-trick against Panama before scoring in the knockouts against Colombia. His goals helped the Three Lions to reach the semi-finals.

The 28-year-old’s international record stands at 49 goals in 69 games. He sits level with the legendary Bobby Charlton on England’s all-time leaderboard and is only four goals shy of Wayne Rooney’s record.
