Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku has enjoyed a fruitful start to World Cup 2018, notching two goals in both of his two appearances in the competition thus far.
He is firmly on course for a place in the record books as the leading marksman in this year’s competition and bet365 go 13/5 (3.60) that the striker scores first.
They also offer 4/5 (1.80) that the Manchester United man finds the net anytime in Rostov.
Hazard warning for Japan?

Eden Hazard, like Lukaku, was on the sidelines against England but, having helped himself to a brace against Tunisia, the Chelsea star will be desperate to get back amongst the goals in this game.
Hazard is Belgium’s penalty taker and the 7/5 (2.40) quote for the 27-year-old star to score at any time may well prove popular with punters.
Kevin De Bruyne can be backed at 12/5 (3.40) to score against the Blue Samurai, whilst Dries Mertens, who scored a spectacular goal against Panama in Belgium’s first group game, is 13/8 (2.63) to get on target at any time.
Talisman Honda?
Keisuke Honda has played just 38 minutes at the tournament but has already provided one goal and one assist in Russia; the veteran midfielder may represent value at 11/2 (6.50) to grab another goal.
Shinji Kagawa is a more likely starter and the former Manchester United man, who scored the opening goal of Japan’s 2-1 win against Colombia in the Group H opener, is also an 11/2 (6.50) chance to score.
Yuya Osako scored the winner against Jose Pekerman's team and is a 9/2 (5.50) shot to breach the Belgian defence.
Leicester City forward Shinji Okazaki is the man most likely to net for the Blue Samurai according to the odds compilers, with bet365 offering 15/4 (4.75) about him finding the net at any time during Monday’s match.
Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
