Lionel Messi & Kylian Mbappe top country goalscorers betting angle

Mbappe scored as many as eight goals in the 2022 World Cup including in the final against Argentina.

Messi scored seven in seven matches in the same World Cup in 2022 to Mbappe, while also providing three assists.

Both Messi and Mbappe were key in getting their teams to the Final but also were key to winning, just Mbappe was unlucky despite scoring a hattrick across the Final including extra-time couldn’t see France lift the World Cup over Messi’s Argentina.

They have the quality and previous World Cup experience and form to help land this boost at huge value of 5/1.
