Kevin De Bruyne Top Scorer Odds World Cup 2018
As you can see from the table above, Kevin De Bruyne’s top goal scorer odds aren’t looking too appealing right now. This is because, although Belgium are expected to do well in the competition, De Bruyne is more likely to set up goals than score them, as he is a midfielder after all.
What’s more, Belgium will be travelling to Russia with a team full of star strikers, and players such as Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard are seen as more likely to bag the Golden Boot prize should Belgium succeed in the tournament.
This means that overall, we’d advise you to refrain from backing Kevin De Bruyne to become Top Scorer of the World Cup 2018. Instead, we’d consider De Bruyne’s chances of being named Player of the Tournament, as this is much more probable and the odds are currently very appealing at 20/1.
