Anytime Goal Scorer Best Bet Picks Today

Folarin Balogun, United States Anytime Goal Scorer (+115, FanDuel)

Balogun is a force to be reckoned with on the attack for the Stars and Stripes. He scored a brace in the United States’ win over Paraguay to open group play. In addition, he was a huge factor in the first goal against Australia as his pass was redirected into the net by Australian defender Cameron Burgess for an own goal. He gets plenty of touches in the penalty box area and Bosnia-Herzegovina concedes quite a few touches in that area as well. Balogun is in the thick of things offensively for the Stars and Stripes. Look for him to find the net here.

Ismalia Sarr, Senegal Anytime Goal Scorer (+380, DraftKings)

Sarr showed that he can contribute on the biggest stage during group play. He scored a pair of goals against Norway and added another goal in the demolition of Iraq in their group stage finale. Sarr has 22 goals in 85 career appearances for the national team. In addition, he is Senegal’s all-time goal scoring leader in the Wprld Cup with four goals. Facing an offensive team like Belgium, Senegal needs their big weapons to step up and contribute. Look for Sarr to do just that and find the net once again.

Jude Bellingham, England Anytime Goal Scorer (+250, FanDuel)

With the firepower that England brings to the pitch, you know that they’re likely to put multiple goals on the board. Bellingham has just one fewer goal than Kane in the group stage of the World Cup. He broke the ice in the win over Panama and has two goals plus an assist on the books so far. Bellingham has six shots on goal in the three matches and it won’t be a surprise to see him find the back of the net again here. Look for Bellingham to score in this match to help England get the win.

Other World Cup Best Bets

Senegal vs. Belgium Over 2.5 Goals (-105, DraftKings)

There are concerns about Lukaku’s status here. He came in as a reserve in the second half against New Zealand and provided a goal plus an assist. If he’s healthy enough to go 90 minutes, Belgium’s offensive attack clicks much more effectively than it did for long stretches against Iran and Egypt in group play. With that said, we know that the Red Devils will push the pace, dominate possession and force Senegal to defend. On the flip side, Senegal can create opportunities of their own and this one has the potential to be higher scoring than most people think. Take the over here.

Bosnia-Herzegovina vs. United States Both Teams to Score (+100, DraftKings)

We’ve seen Bosnia-Herzegovina struggle in the defensive end of the field. The Dragons conceded goals in all three of their group stage matches, including a quartet of them to Switzerland. Meanwhile, the Stars and Stripes tallied eight goals in group play, including scoring at least two goals in each match. Christian Pulisic logged the final 30 minutes or so in the match with Türkiye while Folarin Balogun didn’t play at all. The Dragons have only one clean sheet in their last 11 matches and that’s problematic. On the flip side, the United States go back to Freese here but he is prone to giving up goals himself. Take both teams to score here as the top option on the board.
