Top Anytime Goal Scorer Picks Today
Harry Kane, England Anytime Goal Scorer (+130, FanDuel)
When you think about high-scoring weapons for England, the list has to start with Kane. He racked up 36 goals for Bayern Munich in the Bundeslinga this season. In eight World Cup qualifying matches, Kane scored eight times. We’re talking about a guy who, in 114 international caps, has found the back of the net 79 times in his career. Throw in 10 goals during the DFB-Pokal for Bayern Munich and he’s been a scoring machine. Meanwhile, Kane has eight goals and assisted on three others in 11 career World Cup matches. Bank on him being a scoring threat and scoring in this one for the Three Lions.
Jhon Arias, Colombia Anytime Goal Scorer (+195, FanDuel)
Colombia gets a favorable matchup against an Uzbekistan squad that is making their World Cup debut here. Arias scored a brace in Los Cafeteros 2-0 win over Jordan in their final international friendly. He didn’t score in 17 World Cup qualifying matches but has three goals in friendlies. In 38 career international appearances, Arias has six goals and four assists to his credit. Five of his six goals have come on United States soil. There are plenty of opportunities for Colombia to score here and Arias likely cashes in at least one.
Other Anytime Goal Scorer Options
Antoine Semenyo, Ghana Anytime Goal Scorer (+260, FanDuel)
Semenyo scored 17 goals in the Premier League this season, split between Bournemouth and Manchester City. He tallied just once in 10 matches in World Cup qualifying in the lead up to the World Cup. In addition, he does have World Cup experience, albeit a limited 20 minutes in two appearances. An important thing to take note of here is that Thomas Partey isn’t with the team for this match as Canada denied his visa application. That means Ghana might be a bit more offensively minded in this match. Panama isn’t a great squad and Semenyo is a viable option at cashing in here.
Gonçalo Ramos, Portugal Anytime Goal Scorer (+120, FanDuel)
While the trendy pick is to back Cristiano Ronaldo here, the fact that his odds are juiced to -130 or worse makes that less than palatable. It’s likely he’ll score at some point to mark his sixth World Cup with a goal. Meanwhile, Ramos has 57 goals in 145 domestic league matches in his career. In international p\ay, he has 10 goals and assisted on three others in 25 appearances. That makes him a viable threat offensively. In addition, he has three goals and an assist in four World Cup matches. Look for him to score in this contest for the Seleção das Quinas.
