bet365 have priced up any player to score 10 or more goals at the 2026 World Cup at 3/1.
The legendary Gerd Muller was the last to reach double figures, scoring 10 en route to victory at the 1970 World Cup with Ronaldo (2002) and Kylian Mbappe (2022) coming closest with eight, but with so many of the world's most potent goalscorers getting off to strong starts, there's every chance the milestone is reached again.
bet365's Steve Freeth said: "Not since Gerd Muller in 1970 has a player reached double figures at a World Cup. With the cream rising to the top early in this tournament, we are just 3/1 for a player to hit 10 or more.
"Punters getting involved in goalscorer markets have had a great start to the tournament. Raul Jimenez netted for Mexico in their opener with Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres getting on the scoresheet for Sweden, while the likes of Kai Havertz, Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland, Harry Kane all netted braces and Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick!
"We also paid out on Son Heung-min, Ousmane Dembele and Anthony Gordon scoring as part of our Sub On, Play On Offer, and paid out on a four-fold of Haaland, Kane, Mbappe and Messi to score two or more at over 800/1!"
While 10 is a significant milestone to reach, the expanded World Cup means that most of the top teams will play an extra knockout game, while facing easier opposition in the group stages, with Argentina still to play Jordan, Spain to play Saudi Arabia, France facing Iraq, Portugal to play Uzbekistan and England taking on Panama.
Group winners will likely face more straightforward opponents in the round of 32 match, and teams reaching the semi-finals are guaranteed eight fixtures.
