Argentina’s Lautaro Martínez is currently leading the goal-scoring charts at the Copa América 2024 with four goals to his name. Surprisingly, his teammate Lionel Messi has yet to find the back of the net in the tournament, missing out on scoring opportunities in the opening match against Canada and sitting out the game against Peru due to injury.
Martínez’s impressive performance has seen his odds of winning the Golden Boot soar from +700 to -135, making him the favorite to claim the prestigious award. Following Martínez are players like Maximiliano Araujo and Darwin Nunez from Uruguay, Vinicius Junior from Brazil, and Falorin Balogun from the United States, all with two goals each.
The Golden Boot race is heating up, with several players from different teams vying for the top spot. Other goal-scorers include Piero Hincapie from Ecuador, Jonathan David from Canada, Gerardo Arteaga from Mexico, Christian Pulisic from the United States, and many more, all with one goal each.
When looking at the odds to win the Golden Boot, aside from Martínez, players like Vinicius Junior and Darwin Nunez are also strong contenders, with betting odds of +200 and +250, respectively. Messi, despite his slow start to the tournament, still has decent odds of +1200 to win the Golden Boot, along with Julian Alvarez and Luis Diaz.
As the Copa América progresses, the competition for the Golden Boot will only intensify, with players looking to make their mark and lead their teams to glory. It will be interesting to see how the goal-scoring tally evolves throughout the tournament and which player ultimately emerges as the top goal-scorer.
