Euro 2020 will be witnessing some world-class players from the 11th of June. Apart from winning the trophy, it remains to be seen who can win the Golden Boot at Euro 2020.
24 teams will be competing with each other to prove them the champions of Europe from the 11th of June. As Europe’s best players take part in the competition, it will be interesting to see who will grab the golden boot. The Golden Boot is an award given to the highest goal scorer of the tournament.
Last time, Antoine Griezmann won the golden boot, but his team lost the final against Portugal. Earlier, in 2012 Torres was awarded the golden boot for his three goals in 189 minutes of play.
Odds Wise Favourites to Win the Golden Boot at Euro 2020
There are some huge names playing at the Euro 2020 including the likes of Harry Kane, Mbappe, Ronaldo and in-form Karim Benzema. So, let’s see who is the most favourite among them and what do the odds say.
Harry Kane
Currently, Harry Kane is one of the deadliest strikers in the world. The best thing about him is that he is hungry for trophies. Kane has never won a major trophy with his club Tottenham Hotspurs and recently there are rumours that he might leave the club because of trophies. Moreover, Kane is a sixth all-time top goalscorer, having scored 34 times for his country.
Kane won the golden boot award at the FIFA World Cup 2018 with 6 goals. Furthermore, it might be a tournament where Kane will be thinking of winning the cup along with the Golden boot as England are favourites. Harry Kane is 11/2 (7.50) favourite with bet365 to win the Euro 2020 Golden Boot.
Romelu Lukaku
Lukaku has scored 60 goals for Belgium in 93 matches. Moreover, he is the all-time top goal scorer for his country. Earlier, Lukaku scored four goals in the Fifa World Cup 2018. Currently, he is in form and won the Italian League with Seria A.
Lukaku can end up winning the golden bot award as he is in form and he also has a good team. Furthermore, Belgium is currently on top of the FIFA Rankings. The odds say that Lukaku is available at 7/1 (8.0) to win the Golden Boot.
Kylian Mbappe
The French star is the new sensation in the football world. He has pace, skills, finishing and almost everything. Furthermore, he became the youngest player to score a goal in a final after Pele. Additionally, he also won the award for the best young player at FIFA World Cup 2018. Mbappe has scored 17 goals in his 43 appearances for France.
Kylian Mbappe is an 8/1 (9.0) favourite with bet365 to win the Euro 2020 Golden Boot.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Ronaldo won the silver boot at the Euro 2016 as he scored three goals and provided three assists. Furthermore, he is the highest-scoring active player for a country with 103 goals. Ronaldo ended his season on top of the goal-scoring list in Seria A. Moreover, he is the captain of the champion team which means he will try his best to retain the trophy.
This could be Ronaldo’s last European Championship and the odds say he is 12/1 (13.0) to win the Golden Boot.
Karim Benzema
After a long time, Benzema has returned to the French side. Moreover, he is in top form and his partnership with Mbappe will be exciting to watch. Karim Benzema is 16/1 (17.0) to win the Golden Boot.
Robert Lewandowski
The chances of winning the Euro is very less for Poland, which means they will be having fewer matches to play. Although, Lewandowski form is insane and he can also grab the golden boot even in fewer matches. Robert Lewandowski is 20/1 (21.0) to extend his outrageous scoring streak into Euro 2020.
