Who will win World Cup Golden Boot? Latest odds as Messi, Mbappe, Giroud & Alvarez contest for top scorer

The nations meet in Sunday's Qatar showpiece where millions around the world will tune in.

It's set to be a tight finale to the competition, with France just favourites as the bookies struggle to split them.

The race for the Golden Boot still has four contenders, all with very live chances of lifting it, and Betfair see a tense battle between the top two unfolding here, too.

Of course, they'd trade that personal accolade in to be sure of winning the World Cup.

But why not win both?

That's the aim anyway, with Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe leading the charts with five goals each.

Messi just slightly has the edge as the first tie breaker is assists, to which he has three and Mbappe two.

That sees him going into the game as the 4/5 favourite to lift the award, ahead of PSG team-mate Kylian Mbappe at 11/8.

But you can't discount the two centre forwards from either nation.

Olivier Giroud became France's all-time leading goalscorer earlier in the competition, before planting a winning header to knock England out.

Manchester City's Julian Alvarez bagged a double in the semi final win over Croatia and joined Giroud on four goals for the competition.

Another brace from either player in Sunday's final and they're firmly in with a shout of winning top scorer.
