A fantastic day yesterday for the goalscorer article picks as all three of our picks came through. Let’s go again. Three picks today across three fascinating storylines — a Portuguese side that needs a response after a shocking Matchday 1 draw, an English striker on a mission to outscore the Golden Boot race, and a Bayern Munich winger who is trying to show that he belongs among the most dangerous attackers at this tournament. Let’s get into it.
Read on for my goal scorer picks today, including Bruno Fernandes, Harry Kane and Luis Diaz.
World Cup Goal Scorer Picks Today
Uzbekistan vs Portugal Pick
| Uzbekistan Odds | ||
|---|---|---|
| Spread | Total | Moneyline |
+1.5 +110 | 2.5 -170o / 135u | +1200 |
| Portugal Odds | ||
|---|---|---|
| Spread | Total | Moneyline |
-1.5 -140 | 2.5 -170o / 135u | -450 |
Bruno Fernandes — Assist vs. Uzbekistan (+190)
Portugal were a disappointment on Matchday 1. Their 1-1 draw with DR Congo left their group wide open. 41-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo was a peripheral figure and couldn’t convert when it mattered.
Fernandes was Portugal’s most creative presence throughout, threading a brilliant pass to set up a chance for Ronaldo that the captain couldn’t finish, and nearly creating a goal with an incisive ball over the top for Nuno Mendes. His Matchday 1 assist was disallowed due to an offside call on Cancelo, so he’ll clearly be looking to set up his teammates again today.
He finished the Premier League season with 21 assists in 35 appearances, breaking the all-time Premier League assists record and winning the league’s Player of the Season award.
Against a limited Uzbekistan side, the most creative passer in English football will get his chance at a +190 price.
Ghana vs England Goal Scorer Pick
| Ghana Odds | ||
|---|---|---|
| Spread | Total | Moneyline |
+1.5 -110 | 2.5 -140o / 115u | +850 |
| England Odds | ||
|---|---|---|
| Spread | Total | Moneyline |
-1.5 -115 | 2.5 -140o / 115u | -310 |
Harry Kane — 2+ Goals vs. Ghana (+265)
The Golden Boot race is on and Harry Kane is not going to let Messi, Mbappé and Haaland run away from him. Kane scored twice against Croatia on Matchday 1 in a 4-2 England win, taking his overall World Cup goals tally to 10, equalling Gary Lineker’s all-time England record at the tournament.
Kane finished the 2025-26 club season with 69 goals — one of the most prolific individual seasons in European football history. He is England’s designated penalty taker, giving him a direct route to goals in a match England have to win to comfortably advance to the knockout round.
England will be in control for large stretches, Kane will get his chances, and at +265 for a brace, the value is exceptional on a player already in record-breaking form, looking to keep pace with the top scorers at the tournament.
DR Congo vs Colombia Goal Scorer Pick
| DR Congo Odds | ||
|---|---|---|
| Spread | Total | Moneyline |
+1.5 -180 | 2.5 120o / -150u | +650 |
| Colombia Odds | ||
|---|---|---|
| Spread | Total | Moneyline |
-1.5 +145 | 2.5 120o / -150u | -210 |
Luis Díaz — Anytime Goalscorer vs. DR Congo (+185)
Another Bayern Munich star will hit the pitch today, and he is absolutely on fire.
Luis Díaz scored a goal and provided an assist in Colombia’s 3-1 win over Uzbekistan on Matchday 1, becoming only the second Colombian player to score and assist in a single World Cup match since James Rodríguez in 2014. He has now been involved in a goal in each of his last six competitive appearances for his country — 4 goals and 4 assists across that run.
Díaz finished the club season with 49 goal involvements in 51 appearances for Bundesliga champions across all competitions. That is a staggering number that cements him as one of the elite two-way attackers in world football.
DR Congo surprised Portugal, but can they do it again against a motivated Colombia side? At +185, back Colombia’s leader to get on the board again today.
Let’s have another day!
