Wednesday's World Cup action gets off to a fast start as England opens its tournament and Portugal, another top contender, also steps onto the world's biggest stage.
I have three picks today, and the numbers behind each one are impossible to ignore.
Read on for my goal scorer picks today.
World Cup Goal Scorer Picks Today
Democratic Republic of Congo vs Portugal Goal Scorer Pick

Bruno Fernandes — Assist vs. DR Congo (+155)
The Manchester United captain just authored a historic season. Fernandes finished 2025/26 with 21 assists in 35 Premier League appearances, breaking the all-time single-season Premier League assist record held by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.
He also won the league’s Player of the Season award. He sets the tempo for everything Portugal does in the final third, and against a DR Congo side making its World Cup debut, he will have every opportunity to pick out a teammate.
At +155 for an assist, you’re getting the most prolific creator in the Premier League at a discount.

Harry Kane — Anytime Goalscorer vs. Croatia (+120)
Simply put, he is the best pure goalscorer in the world right now. Kane finished as the Bundesliga’s top scorer for the third straight season with 36 goals, playing a key role in Bayern Munich retaining the league title, and added 14 goals in 13 Champions League matches as Bayern reached the semifinals.
He has become the first player in nearly 60 years to pass the 20-goal mark in each of his first three Bundesliga seasons.
Croatia fields a talented and experienced backline, but no defense in the world has slowed Kane down this season.
At +120, this is one of the safer goalscorer bets on the board. Back England’s captain to deliver.
Colombia vs Uzbekistan Goal Scorer Pick
| Colombia Odds | ||
|---|---|---|
| Spread | Total | Moneyline |
-1.5 +112 | 2.5 -110o / -110u | -290 |
| Uzbekistan Odds | ||
|---|---|---|
| Spread | Total | Moneyline |
+1.5 -142 | 2.5 -110o / -110u | +900 |
Luis Díaz — Anytime Goalscorer vs. Uzbekistan (+120)
Luis Díaz had arguably the best debut season of any signing in the Bundesliga this year.
The Colombian struck 15 goals and provided 14 assists as Bayern successfully defended their German league title, while also scoring 7 goals and creating 3 more in the Champions League as Bayern reached the semifinals.
Per Sofascore, he ranked third in Europe for assists with 17 and fifth for goals with 24 across all competitions, putting him among an elite tier of two-way attacking threats on the continent.
Uzbekistan are first-time World Cup qualifiers and will be overwhelmed by Colombia’s pace and movement in the final third. At +120, trust Díaz to add to his remarkable season.
Good luck!
