Lionel Messi, Argentina (+110, FanDuel)

Rather than winding down after leading Argentina to the 2022 World Cup title, Messi has chosen to compete again in 2026. His tournament start has been impressive, recording a hat trick in Argentina’s 3-0 victory over Algeria to open proceedings. Messi remains the sole player from the group stage to achieve this feat. While Austria presents a stiffer test than Algeria—demonstrated by their 3-1 victory over Jordan—the Argentine veteran has proven his continued dominance in front of goal.

Kylian Mbappe, France (-210, FanDuel)

French attack finally found its rhythm in the second half against Senegal, with Mbappe delivering a decisive performance. The Real Madrid forward scored the opening goal before adding a spectacular long-range strike following Senegal’s equalizer, becoming France’s all-time leading scorer. France now face Iraq, who conceded four goals in their loss to Norway last week, positioning Mbappe for another strong outing.

Erling Haaland, Norway (+120, FanDuel)

Haaland made an immediate impact in Norway’s 4-1 victory over Senegal, scoring twice through a header and by forcing a defensive error. The Manchester City striker continues to demonstrate his clinical finishing ability. Norway’s next challenge comes against Senegal before a crucial Group I matchup with France on Friday, but Haaland’s form suggests he’ll remain a constant threat regardless of opponent.

Riyad Mahrez, Algeria (+160, FanDuel)

Mahrez brings exceptional credentials to the Algeria attack, with 33 goals in 104 appearances since 2014. The Al-Ahli player contributed three goals during Algeria’s Africa Cup of Nations quarterfinal run last year, though he had yet to score in World Cup competition. Following Algeria’s shutout against Argentina, Mahrez represents excellent value against Jordan, who allowed three goals in their opening match against Austria.
