Copa America 2028 Top Goal Scorer Odds & Predictions: Martinez Runs Away With 2024 Golden Boot

The oddsboard to capture the Copa America 2024 Golden Boot grew shorter each day, and the odds from our best soccer betting sites showed Argentina's Lautaro Martinez as the prohibitive betting favorite before the final. 

The Inter Milan player impressively dominated the scoresheet with five goals to become the sole goal-scoring leader. Remarkably, he did it while only starting two out of six matches.

With Martinez's mastery, Argentina sat atop the Copa America odds en route to winning a record 16th title.

What to look for in a Golden Boot winner

There are many ways to identify solid candidates to win the Golden Boot at a major international tournament.

First, you want to select players who are more likely to advance deeper into the tournament. This is likely why Messi's odds are so short, as he offers a combination of all-time goal-scoring ability and the potential to advance to the final. 

Second, you want to target teams that are more offensively minded. If you track a nation's recent form and see they win most games by scoring only one or maybe two goals, then even the best player on that team may not be the right option in this market. This is less important in this tournament vs. the Euros, as most of these South American teams play a more fluid style of football.

The third thing to look for is players who are on penalties. As someone who plays Premier League fantasy and just saw how valuable Cole Palmer was thanks to his role as Chelsea's penalty-taker, this is really something to track. Messi will almost certainly be on penalties for Argentina, providing us with another reason to bet him.

Finally, if you're looking for longer odds and want to bypass the favorites, target players in relatively easy groups. We mentioned that players who advance further will have an obvious advantage, but an attacking player who's prolific enough against inferior competition may just be able to win the Golden Boot in far fewer matches.
