Harry Kane World Cup Top Goalscorer Odds Cut To 6/1 After DR Congo Double

Harry Kane Starred As The Three Lions Beat The Leopards 2-1 In The 2026 World Cup Round Of 32

The World Cup top scorer odds market has seen plenty of movement so far this week. Kylian Mbappe leads the way after his Sweden exploits and Erling Haaland’s price dropped after netting the winner against Ivory Coast.

However, the most noticeable jump occurred when Harry Kane blasted England into the last 16 at the expense of DR Congo. The Bayern Munich superstar rescued the Three Lions with his brilliant brace which helped down a resilient Leopards side.

World Cup Top Scorer Odds: Harry Kane Available At 6/1

After netting two second-half goals against DR Congo, the World Cup top scorer odds market lists Harry Kane at 6/1 to win the 2026 World Cup Golden Boot. The England hero now has five goals and is just one behind France forward Kylian Mbappe and Argentine ace Lionel Messi.

Kane is next up in action in the early hours of Monday morning as the Three Lions take on Mexico in the Round of 16. And owing to Kane’s exploits, the Mexico vs England odds lean towards a win for Thomas Tuchel’s side against El Tri, who have never lost at the Azteca in the WC. Something of which Kane and Co. will be aiming to change.
