The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup on FOX and the FOX Sports App is underway, and soccer futures bettors are looking for ways to give their bankrolls a boot in the pants.
Many sportsbooks are offering odds on individual matches and title futures, but that’s not the only way to make some cash on this year’s extravaganza.

One popular prop bet is predicting the winner of the Golden Boot, which is the award given to the player who scores the most goals in the tournament.
Two members of the United States Women’s National Team are the betting favorites to score the most goals in the Women’s World Cup — forwards Sophia Smith (+310, bet $10 to win $41 total) and Alex Morgan (+500).
Smith surged past Morgan and has the lowest odds to win the Golden Boot after scoring twice in the USWNT’s opening 3-0 win over Vietnam. Smith is at +310 (bet $10 to win $41 total) after starting the tournament at +650.
Morgan held steady at +500 after recording an assist against Vietnam.

Australia‘s Sam Kerr entered the tournament tied for the third-best odds at +1100, but sat out the opener against Republic of Ireland and will miss Game 2 against Nigeria with a calf injury. As a result, her Golden Boot odds tumbled to +2900.
Let’s dive into the updated odds for the 2023 Women’s World Cup Golden Boot:

USWNT’s Lindsey Horan scores against Vietnam
Check out every angle of USWNT Lindsey Horan’s goal against Vietnam in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
FOX Sports Wagering Expert Chris “The Bear” Fallica has an under-the-radar player in mind to win the Golden Boot as well.
“I have my eye on someone way down the list to have a big month — Sweden’s Fridolina Rolfö,” Fallica said.
“Rolfö scored the goal which gave Barcelona the Women’s Champions League title last month, was tied for the team lead in goals during qualifying and isn’t afraid to try from distance. She will obviously have to compete with teammate Stina Blackstenius for goals, but if Sweden is to make a deep run, Rolfö will be a big reason why.”
