Antoine Griezmann

Depending how much of a football fan you are, you may or may not know that there’s actually more than one prize up for grabs at the World Cup 2018. Of course, the team which reaches the final and emerges victorious will be named the champions of the competition, but many prolific players will also have other trophies in sight.

Namely, the player who scores the most goals in the tournament as a whole will receive the Golden Boot prize for top goal scorer. This means that not only will certain players be vying to score as many goals as possible, leading to highly exciting football, but that you can place some very interesting wagers on who may win.

Antoine Griezmann is one of the favourites to become top goal scorer in the World Cup 2018, and with a superb international record so far, he looks like a very appealing player to back. In this article, we’re assessing Griezmann’s chances of bagging the Golden Boot prize, and to do this we’ve looked at his current form, his past World Cup appearances, and the current Antoine Griezmann World Cup odds too.

Antoine Griezmann: International Record

Antoine Griezmann is a French international striker, who also plays for Atletico Madrid at league level. He will therefore be travelling to Russia as part of the France international squad, obviously, and has been part of the team since 2014.

Griezmann is generally considered one of the world’s best strikers, and this claim is backed up by the fact that in the UEFA 2016 Euros, he was named both Top Goal Scorer and Player of the Tournament.

Antoine Griezmann Top Scorer Odds World Cup 2018

As you can see from the table above, the current odds on Antoine Griezmann are looking very appealing! Not only does he stand a very good chance of being named Top Goal Scorer of the competition, but he also stands a very good chance at being named Player of the Tournament too.

One of the most valuable wagers you could place is to back Griezmann to be the top goalscorer, and for France to win the World Cup 2018. The odds on this look long at the moment, and to be honest a double bet is always risk. However, considering there are 32 competing teams and roughly about 100 strikers travelling to the world cup, those odds aren’t looking too unreasonable.

If you want to err slightly more on the side of caution, then backing Griezmann to be France’s top goalscorer is a very realistic bet to make. Given Antoine Griezmann’s record in the UEFA Euros, we think this is a safe bet.

However you must also consider the records of other French strikers such as Giroud, Lacazette, and Mbappé, who will also be eyeing up the Golden Boot prize.
