World Cup Top Goalscorer Betting Preview: Antoine Griezmann

Antoine Griezmann - France

This summer appears to be a pivotal one for Antoine Griezmann.

Atletico Madrid secured the Europa League title with the 27-year-old delivering a Man of the Match performance against Marseille in the final.

Those kind of displays have only seen the speculation around his future intensify with a move to Barcelona mooted as the most likely destination should the forward choose to leave Diego Simeone's side.

 

World Cup Top Goalscorer Odds - 12/1 (13.0)

Griezmann failed to get his name on the scoresheet in five appearances at the previous World Cup and netted four times in qualification.

79 La Liga goals since his move to the Spanish capital demonstrates his consistency for Atleti and France are expected to put together a serious challenge to be crowned World champions this summer.

However, Griezmann's record for Les Blues isn't the most eye-catching. 20 goals in 53 games is perfectly respectable, but with Didier Deschamps potentially opting to start Olivier Giroud in a central role, plus plenty of competition for places in the attacking third, it's easy enough to overlook him despite six goals in seven games at the European Championships two years ago.
