Romelu Lukaku
Belgium have very big hopes at the World Cup this year and are 5th or 6th favourites at sport betting sites to win the competition. Belgium will be hoping that Romelu Lukaku will be firing on all cylinders in Russia to aid their cause.
The striker has had a good first season for Manchester United and has managed to score quite a number of goals, despite the defensive tactics often deployed by Manchester United. He has scored 27 goals in 51 matches in all competitions for Man Utd this season, which is a decent return.
In this mini guide, we will take a look at some of the Lukaku World Cup odds currently circulating around the sport betting markets. This might be the stage that Lukaku truly announces himself to world football, and what better stage to do it.
Lukaku Top Scorer Odds World Cup
Of course, the main market people will be thinking about when they consider Romelu Lukaku at the World Cup is the Golden Boot winner market. Lukaku is definitely capable of scoring lots of goals, as we have seen for quite a few seasons now.
His form at the start of the domestic season that has just gone was very impressive and if he can replicate that form at the World Cup, he has more than a chance of winning the Golden Boot.
Here are the current odds for Lukaku to win the golden boot at some of the most popular sportsbooks:
- 16/1 at Betway, BetVictor, Sun Bets, Bet 365, Betfred, Coral, Ladbrokes and Sky Bet
- 18/1 is available at William Hill, Betfair, LeoVegas and 888 Sport
- The very best current odds are 20/1, and these are available at Unibet
We advise you to have a quick browse around to find the best odds if you plan to bet on Lukaku winning the Golden Boot. The odds shown here may have altered and we wouldn’t want you to miss out on the best possible odds!
We think a bet on Lukaku is a great option for those who like to take a little gamble. He is not the favourite to win the award, but at these odds, it could be worth a little punt. After all, nobody would be hugely surprised if Lukaku did win the Golden Boot.
Lukaku World Cup 2018 Bets, Other Markets
The Golden Boot market is not the only one with Lukaku’s name in it. You can find some great odds in other World Cup betting markets with Lukaku. Here is a good selection of what is on offer with the best odds we could find:
- 50/1 at Bet 365 on Lukaku winning the Golden Ball
- 60/1 at 888 Sport and LeoVegas on Lukaku getting the most assists at the tournament
- 80/1 at Betfred, Betway, Bet 365 and William Hill on Lukaku winning the Golden Boot and Belgium winning the World Cup

As we can see, very tasty odds indeed and it is not entirely unthinkable that these outcomes will come to pass.
Lukaku is still only 25-years-old. This could be the time that he truly establishes himself as one of the best players in the world. We think betting on Lukaku is an option that makes sense. Belgium begin their campaign against Panama on the 18th June.
