The 2026 World Cup is just 12 days away, and while much of the focus will be on who lifts football’s biggest prize, the race for the Golden Boot is shaping up to be just as compelling.
With that in mind, Sky Bet are offering a special Price Boost on the tournament’s top goalscorer market, enhancing Erling Haaland to win the Golden Boot from 12/1 to 14/1.
Norway may not be among the favourites to go all the way, but they possess enough quality – particularly in midfield, with players such as Martin Odegaard – to consistently create chances for Haaland.Â
Add in the fact that he is arguably the most clinical finisher in world football, and it’s easy to see why he could find himself on the scoresheet throughout the tournament.

Haaland also arrives at the World Cup in excellent form, with the world-class striker having scored 38 goals across all competitions this season.Â
In the betting, he sits behind Kylian Mbappe and Harry Kane, who head the market at 11/2 and 13/2 respectively.Â
Mbappe and Kane are both proven winners of the award, with Mbappe claiming the Golden Boot at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and Kane taking the honour at the previous tournament in Russia in 2018.Â
Meanwhile, for those looking for a slightly more speculative play in the market, Lionel Messi and Mikel Oyarzabal are joint fourth favourites at 14/1, while Spanish wonderkid Lamine Yamal is priced as fifth favourite at 16/1.
