The latest World Cup Golden Boot Odds make David Villa the favourite to be top goalscorer at the forthcoming World Cup although England's Wayne Rooney is still up their amongst the favourites.
David Villa The Favourite And He Has Proven Form In Tournaments Like This
Spanish striker David Villa, who recently moved to Barcelona, is the clear favourite with the bookies to be the World Cup Golden Boot, he is rated at 9/1 with SkyBet and Paddy Power, both of whom are paying five places on each way bets. Villa was top scorer at Euro 2008 and plays for the World Cup favourites Spain, so he is clearly expected to play plenty of games. His biggest threat could be his new team mate Lionel Messi, who has been well supported in the last few months and is now just 10/1 with SkyBet and Paddy Power to outscore everyone else at the World Cup.
Wayne Rooney Third Favourite But Form Might Be A Worry
England star Wayne Rooney is the current third favourite, towards the start of the year when he was in amazing goalscoring form he was extremely well supported but with the goals having dried up towards the end of the season he drifted out slightly and is now best priced 11/1 with Paddy Power and Blue Square. Other favourites include Brazil's Luis Fabiano who is 12/1 with Bet365 and SkyBet, Fernando Torres who is 14/1 with Totesport and Stan James and Cristiano Ronaldo who is 18/1 with Bet365, who offer up to £200 in free bets to new customers.
