Anytime Goal Scorer Best Bet Picks Today

Romelo Lukaku, Belgium Anytime Goal Scorer (+145, FanDuel)

Belgium has spread their goals out a bit as five players have accounted for their output. Three of them, including Lukaku, have a pair of goals to their credit. Lukaku started just once in the four matches that Belgium has played in the World Cup. Still, he owns a pair of goals, both coming in matches where he entered as a reserve. He continues to deal with a hamstring injury that cost him much of the club season as well as an ankle injury. Still, he has contributed as a substitute and with this match expected to have offense aplenty, he converts again here.

Mikal Oyarzabal, Spain Anytime Goal Scorer (FanDuel, +150)

One thing we’ve seen for La Roja is how dangerous Oyarzabal has been when it comes to creating chances and finishing. He tallied twice against Austria in the round of 32 and has four goals plus an assist in the four World Cup matches Spain has played. That’s on the heels of six goals plus three assists in six World Cup qualifying matches. You know that he’s going to be a force offensively for La Roja here and that pays dividends. Take Oyarzabal to find the net again in this contest to net his fifth of the World Cup with a goal here.

Folarin Balogun, United States Anytime Goal Scorer (+150, FanDuel)

Now that his red card suspension was lifted, Balogun is going to be a factor offensively again for the United States here. He has three goals in the three World Cup matches he’s played in this year. Balogun is clearly the top threat for the Americans offensively and with Belgium’s sluggish play from their defense group, he should be a factor once again. Look for him to take advantage of the Red Devils’ issues to put the ball in the net for the fourth straight match.

Other World Cup Best Bets

Spain to Win in Regulation (-105, DraftKings)

Portugal has to be happy that they are even here as Croatia had three goals wiped off the board by offside calls in the round of 32. The Seleção das Quinas now face a Spain side that hasn’t conceded a goal in their first four World Cup matches in this tournament. La Roja has plenty of weapons offensively and they are very familiar with Portugal. The Seleção das Quinas hasn’t been the same offensively in the World Cup. They were shut down by the DR Congo and Colombia in group play. Spain is more than capable of stifling them as well. Take Spain to win here and move on to the quarters.

Belgium vs. United States Over 2.5 Goals (-145, Fanatics)

We’re looking at a pair of sides that can score goals so this has the makings of a high-scoring affair. Belgium has nine goals in their four World Cup matches, scoring multiple goals three times. Meanwhile, the United States has 10 goals on the board in their four matches. They scored at least twice in each of their matches entering this one. The Red Devils are sluggish in their own back line and the United States can take advantage of that. On the flip side, the Stars and Stripes have their own issues defensively and that pushes this one over the total.
