Our favorites for the title of top scorer of Euro 2024
Predicting the top scorer in a competition like a Euro, a World Cup or a Copa America is rarely simple. But our experts still wanted to take part in the analysis game, in order to announce our contenders for this honorary title and the editorial team’s big favorite. An analysis can also be found in our Euro 2024 prediction, which brings together everything you need to know about the competition.
No. 1: Mbappé, obvious
It will be a very eventful summer for Kylian Mbappé! Indeed, the attack and captain of the French team, who left Paris Saint-Germain free to join – finally officially – Real Madrid, will play in a Euro before going on vacation and then joining his new club. And the number 10 of the Blues hopes to return from Germany with a new title to his name! Obviously, Mbappé is aiming for the coronation, but he will also have the title of top scorer in mind.
After a completely failed Euro 2020 where he did not score a single goal and missed the qualifying penalty against Switzerland, he made up for it magnificently the following season. He indeed finished top scorer of the 2022 World Cup with 8 goals in total, allowing Didier Deschamps and his men to reach the final.
Note that, for the qualifications for this 2024 European Championship, he scored 9 times in 8 appearances, finishing third best scorer behind CR7 (10 goals) and Lukaku (14). For this title of top scorer at Euro 2024, Mbappé is our favorite and has odds of 5.00 at Winamax!
No. 2: Kane, in continuity
As is often the case, Harry Kane is one of the big favorites for the title of top scorer at Euro 2024. And, as usual, the English striker should respond. Indeed, his transfer from Tottenham to Bayern Munich did not change much for the number 9, who crashed numerous times this season despite the Bavarians’ poor performance (first white season in more than 10 years).
If he had not been influential enough at the 2022 World Cup (2 goals in 5 matches, including the famous second missed penalty against France), he quickly made up for it by rising to fourth best scorer in qualifying for this Euro 2024, with 8 goals in 8 matches.
In a team that performs very well and surrounded by many excellent passers (Bellingham, Foden, Saka and Palmer among others), Harry Kane should enjoy himself during this European Championship, where he could be a hit from the groups in a group C a priori widely affordable (Slovenia, Denmark and Serbia). He also has the advantage of taking every penalty for the Three Lions! With good odds of 5.50 for the title of top scorer, still at Winamax, this is a bet that is well worth trying.
No. 3: Lukaku, the Belgian responds (almost) always present
There he is, the top scorer in Belgian history (85 goals in 115 matches). The player trained in Anderlecht, who notably played for Chelsea, Everton, Manchester United, Inter Milan and now AS Roma, has been in good shape with his country since the end of the 2022 World Cup. Indeed, if he has completely missed his World Cup (he arrived injured and did not play the first group matches, missing numerous opportunities during the 3rd against Croatia and not allowing his team to reach the round of 16), he bounced back well Since. Indeed, he finished top scorer in qualifying for Euro 2024 with a magnificent ratio of 14 goals in just 8 matches! Widely leading this ranking with 4 goals ahead of his runner-up, Romelu played Lukaku.
Often criticized for being strong against the weak and weak against the strong, he will clearly have the opportunity to land in a group E made up of Slovakia, Romania or even Ukraine. In any case, it has magnificent odds of 21.00 at Winamax, so don’t wait to take advantage of it if you want to bet on an “outsider” according to the bookmakers, who in our opinion is well underestimated by the sports betting sites. Even a stake of 10€ could allow you to pocket 200 net!

Top scorer of the Euro: the outsiders of SportyTrader
After our three favorites for the title of top scorer of Euro 2024, here are the outsiders who, in our opinion, can also claim this individual trophy awarded at the end of the final. We obviously think of Cristiano Ronaldo first, who is most likely playing his last major competition with his country. If it seems eternal to us, CR7 is reaching its 40th birthday and will not be able to last for many years.
However, at Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, he continues to scare the statistics! With Portugal, he remains a strong element of Roberto Martinez’s group. The winner of Euro 2016 intends to be decisive for his country during this 2024 edition. Second top scorer in the qualifying phase with 10 goals in 9 matches, Ronaldo once again showed that he had it under his belt. hood. His odds are at 13.00 with the bookmakers!
A bit in the style of Cristiano, Olivier Giroud is at the end of his career and should probably retire internationally after this Euro 2024. The end of a very good era for the former Montpellier, Arsenal and even Chelsea striker, who will have contributed to the ultimate coronation in 2018. If he had not scored during this World Cup, he did so during the last one played in Qatar, with 4 goals.
He then finished 3rd best scorer behind Mbappé and Messi. During the qualifiers for this European Championship, he still scored 3 times in 8 matches, while not always starting. Currently, its odds are at 20.00 on average among sports betting sites for Euro 2024. At SportyTrader, we little believe in it, but why not.
Jude Bellingham will also be one of the players to watch during this 2024 European Championship. Indeed, he became a serial scorer this year with Real Madrid, and had a grandiose season. A real surface fox with the Madrid club, he acquired an instinct for goal and a finishing touch that we had begun to see on the Dortmund side. With a view to the race for the Ballon d’Or, finishing top scorer in this Euro and winning the trophy would obviously be a real plus. If you want to bet on Jude, his odds are 15.00 at Winamax.
We also think of Alvaro Morata, who, like La Roja, is one of the outsiders and should not be underestimated. At huge odds of 30.00, if you believe that the Atlético player is capable of finishing at the top of the standings, why not try a small bet on the Spain scorer.
And we finish with the highest odds! Bayer Leverkusen offensive player Florian Wirtz, who is having a grandiose season under Xabi Alonso, could well be the “surprise” of this Euro. Although he is not considered a scorer on the pitch, he is still shaking the nets this season with more than 20 goals in all competitions! And we remember his huge strike against France in a friendly on March 23 after just a few seconds of play… With odds of 35.00, it’s clearly worth putting a few coins on the German crack!
