Lionel Messi (-250)
He’s done in again, folks. The great Messi has led Argentina back to the World Cup Final for the second consecutive tournament and he’s done so in spectacular fashion.
Messi is tied with Kylian Mbappe in the Golden Boot race with eight goals apiece, but oddsmakers now have Argentia’s godsend as a massive favourite in this betting market heading into the final.
Obviously, Messi will be a key piece of Argentina’s attack and will likely play the entirely of the final, while Mbappe has been relegated to the third-place match, where his ambitions might not be as high.

Kylian Mbappe (+130)
Mbappe still has a real chance of leading the tournament in goals, but you have question his motivation in the third-place match versus England.
He is expected to play in the match, but it’s unclear if he’ll start, and even if he does, how many minutes he’ll play in an essentially meaningless game.
However, it’s very plausible that this match turns into a high-scoring event given the firepower on both sides and the low stakes of the game, which could open the door for Mbappe to score a goal or two in his final match of the competition.

Harry Kane (+3500)
Sitting two goals back of both Messi and Mbappe entering the final game of the tournament, it would likely take three goals from Kane in the third-place match versus England to even have a chance of finishing as the top goal scorer.
Like Mbappe, it’s unclear what kind of a role Kane will feature in on Saturday, and he’ll likely see a lessened workload given the match context.
