Although there are still more than seven months to go before the start of the World Cup in Qatar, "bet365" has already given the odds for players who win the Golden Boot in the World Cup, so let's take a look at the top ten rankings.
In first place is the previous Golden Boot winner Kane, with odds of 8 times. Five of Kane's six goals in the last Cup came from the group stage, and this time England had good luck and Kane is expected to score a few more goals in the group stage. Assuming Kane wins the Golden Boot this time, it will be the first player in world cup history to win the Golden Boot.
In second place is Kylian Kylian Mbappe, with odds of 9 times. Scored 4 goals in the last cup and is the brightest rising star. Four years on, Mbappe is stronger and has reason to believe he can hit the Golden Boot. Although they are defending champions, France still have obvious weaknesses, and first of all they need to make sure to go further and prevent repeating the mistakes of the defending champions group.
The third place is Ronaldo with odds of 13 times. Not surprisingly, this will be Ronaldo's last world cup, and judging by Ronaldo's age, it will be difficult to score again. Rather than fighting for the Golden Boot, scoring goals in five consecutive World Cups is a goal that must be achieved.
Benzema and Messi are tied for fourth with odds of 15 times. Benzema, who has returned to the national team, will be the main center of the French team, and his recent form at Real Madrid has been very hot, and this state of affair will be of great help to the French team until the World Cup. Messi is now more focused on organisation and scoring goals may not be his main responsibility.
Sixth place is Lukaku with odds of 17 times. He scored four goals in the last cup and has declined since coming to Chelsea this season, which is likely to affect the preparation for the World Cup.
Neymar and Sterling are tied for seventh with odds of 21 times. According to Neymar, this is likely to be his last World Cup, with winning the title more important than the Golden Boot. Sterling did not score a single goal in the last cup match, which is difficult to be optimistic.
Diogo Jota, Vinicius and Depay are tied for ninth with odds of 26 times. Jota and Vinicius are both competing in the World Cup for the first time, while Depay is competing again after a gap of eight years.
