FIFA World Cup Goal Scorer Tips Friday 26th June: Back Haaland, Mbappe & Yamal

The 2026 FIFA World Cup action is heating up as the group stage reaches its climax. Big games are coming thick and fast in North America.

We have an action-packed Friday to look forward to, with the Group I fixture between Norway and France topping the bill. Also, Uruguay and Spain lock horns in Mexico. Which big names will get on the scoresheet today? Check out our FIFA World Cup goal scorer tips, predictions, and odds.

Haaland to Continue Scoring Streak?

Erling Haaland is enjoying his first-ever World Cup for Norway, scoring four goals in his nation’s first two games in North America. The Manchester City ace has fired his team into the Round of 32.

Norway’s final group game is against France, and Stale Solbakken’s side can still secure first place. Going by the latest World Cup Group I odds, the French are the favourites, but the Norwegians will fancy their chances of toppling the 2022 runners-up.

Haaland is one of the deadliest strikers in world football right now, and the No. 9 will want to add to his impressive World Cup tally against the tournament favourites.

Haaland is more than capable of scoring for the third game running in North America. He is in our anytime goal scorer tips in the Norway vs France game, priced at 6/5.

Our Prediction: Erling Haaland to Score Anytime: 6/5

Mbappe to Stay on Messi’s Heels?

Didier Deschamps’ France are also already through to the next phase after taking maximum points from their opening two fixtures. The French were the favourites to win the trophy before a ball had been kicked, and nothing has changed in that regard.

Kylian Mbappe was always going to be France’s main man in North America, and the Real Madrid superstar has kicked off his World Cup with four goals in two matches.

Mbappe followed up his second-half brace in the 3-1 victory over Senegal by scoring in each half of the 3-0 win against Iraq. The great Lionel Messi leads the way in the World Cup Golden Boot odds after netting five times thus far, but Mbappe is hot on his heels with four goals.

All eyes will be on Haaland and Mbappe, as the world’s best strikers look to outgun each other at Gillette Stadium. France’s captain has scored the first goal in Les Bleus’ opening two games, and we like the look of PricedUp’s 31/10 for Mbappe to open the scoring in Foxborough.

Our Prediction: Kylian Mbappe to Score First: 31/10

Yamal to Strike First Again?

It is hard to believe that Lamine Yamal is still a teenager. Not only is Spain’s wonderkid the favourite in the World Cup Young Player Award odds market, but he is also in the running for the Golden Ball.

Yamal made his first World Cup start against Saudi Arabia last time out, marking the occasion with a goal after just ten minutes. In a team glittering with world-class talent, the 18-year-old is La Roja’s biggest threat.

Spain have taken four points and are all but through to the knockout phase. After a disappointing 0-0 draw with Cape Verde, Luis de la Fuente’s side eased past Saudi Arabia on matchday two, with Yamal sending them on their way with the opener.

Spain still have a lot to play for on the final day in Group H, and we can see the European champions seeing off the Uruguayans in Zapopan. Yamal will play his part, and the Barca ace is available at 8/5 to score anytime.

Our Prediction: Lamine Yamal to Score Anytime: 8/5
