Best World Cup goalscorer picks for Wednesday
- Harry Kane, England (-140)
- Ismaila Sarr, Senegal (+340)
- Christian Pulisic, USA (+350)
Harry Kane, England (-140)
Of course, Kane is the focal point of the England attack, and — maybe just as importantly for this one — he is the man who takes the penalty kicks. In a game against a Congo side that appears to be overmatched, there could be some desperate challenges on the back end, so that’s an added value. Kane doesn’t need any special circumstances to score and if the Three Lions win as comfortably as many are expecting, the star striker is a safe bet to be one of the players to find the back of the net.
Ismaila Sarr, Senegal (+340)
Belgium have too many potential scorers to focus on one, with Romelu Lukaku the only one who is a threat almost every time he touches the ball. He also has yet to play more than a half, and Senegal could cause the Belgians a lot of problems in this game. Sarr has been making a splash for the Africans, scoring three goals and putting up 12 shots (five on target) in the three matches so far. The Crystal Palace man will be one of the driving forces if Senegal are to give the Belgians a run for their money.
Christian Pulisic, USA (+350)
Captain America is at least rested, and hopefully he’s back to normal following the calf injury he suffered in the group stage opener. He looked strong off the bench against Turkiye, and he will be looking to make up for lost time. It might take some creativity to break through the Bosnia and Herzegovina back line, and Pulisic is by far the most creative on the team. He’ll be right in the middle of the action if (when) Team USA gets on the board, and I expect him to bury at least one chance.
