France vs Senegal goal scorer prediction: Kylian Mbappe

Pick made by Emanuel Rosu

Kylian Mbappe has recorded 4+ shots in each of his last nine appearances for France, with at least two efforts on target in every match. The Real Madrid forward has scored in each of his last six competitive appearances for the national team.

He consistently delivers outstanding numbers for Didier Deschamps, and the presence of Michael Olise, Ousmane Dembele, and Desire Doue around him only strengthens France's attacking threat. France arguably possess the most formidable attack at this World Cup, and Deschamps will be hoping that quality shines through once again.

Norway vs Iraq goal scorer prediction: Alexander Sorloth

Pick made by Tom Oldfield

Given the short odds on Erling Haaland, I’m looking elsewhere for my favorite anytime goal-scorer prop.

Alexander Sorloth bagged 20 goals for Atletico Madrid this season across all competitions, and he’s well placed to benefit from all the attention on Haaland.

A deadly striker in his own right, Sorloth will start in a wider role on the right wing, but he has a license to get into the box to support attacks, and I see Norway creating a bagful of chances here.

He scored a double against Estonia last November as the Norwegians put the final touches on a terrific qualifying run, and at 6-foot-5, he’s a natural target at set pieces.

Argentina vs Algeria goal scorer prediction: Lautaro Martinez

Pick made by Jason Ence

Lautaro Martinez is coming off a strong season with Inter Milan, bagging 22 goals in 40 matches across all competitions. He’s also scored in three of his last four outings for Argentina.

His movement in the box has improved, becoming a more complete striker. Of his 17 Serie A goals, he scored four with his head and five with his weaker foot.

Martinez likes to get physical with defenders inside the area. Algeria struggled with Victor Osimhen doing just that to them in the AFCON loss, and I expect Martinez to use that to his advantage.

Add in the fact that he will be on penalties if Messi’s off the pitch, and I love getting Martinez at close to even money to score.

Austria vs Jordan goal scorer prediction: Marko Arnautovic

Pick made by Emanuel Rosu

Marko Arnautovic has scored in two of his last three competitive appearances for Austria. Despite being 37, the striker arrives at the World Cup with respectable numbers at club level, having scored 10 goals in 32 appearances for Red Star Belgrade.

Ralf Rangnick is expected to start him against Jordan, and the quality service provided by Michael Gregoritsch and Marcel Sabitzer could be all Arnautovic needs to get on the scoresheet. Jordan look vulnerable defensively and may struggle to cope with Austria's attacking threat.
