With a number of the big teams knocked out, there are some lesser known stars at the front of the market after finding the back of the net with regularity throughout the four games so far.

Hinata Miyazawa @ 13/8
The current Golden Boot leader is Japan’s Hinata Miyazawa after an excellent group-stage performance by the 2011 champions.
Japan were victorious in all three of their matches to win Group C, scoring 11 goals without reply, four of which came from Miyazawa.
The 23-year-old bagged a brace and laid on another in Japan’s impressive 4-0 win over Spain in their final group outing and is thriving on the right side of a front three.
Miyazawa went on to find the net again in her nation’s round of 16 win over Norway and is now the clear leader at the top of the goal rankings.
Kadidiatou Diani @ 10/3
Kadidiatou Diani was the beneficiary of a leaky Panama back line in the group stage, helping herself to a hat-trick in France’s 6-3 win over the Central Americans.
The forwards then followed up with a goal and two assists in her country’s 4-0 victory against Morocco, taking her to second in the Golden Boot standings.
Now the 28-year-old will be hoping she can add to her tally against hosts Australia in the quarter-finals
Eugenie Le Sommer @ 9/1
Of the candidates remaining on three goals, French forward Eugenie Le Sommer looks to have one of the best chances of chasing down Hinata Miyazawa to win the Golden Boot title at this year’s World Cup.
The 34-year-old is France’s record goalscorer, netting 92 times in 182 appearances for her nation, and could be warming to the task just at the right time, scoring twice in the round-of-16 game against Morocco.
Jennifer Hermoso @ 10/1
Only Japan have scored more goals than Spain at this year’s World Cup and key to that has been Jennifer Hermoso.
The 33-year-old has netted three times and will be hoping to add to her tally against the Netherlands in the quarter-finals. Her versatility across the forward line has made her a crucial part of La Roja’s chances.
How does Golden Boot Betting Work?
Golden boot betting in its simplest form is quite easy to understand. Simply, the player who scores the most goals across the whole tournament will win the individual award.
This applies to the group stage, knockouts and even the final. So in theory the further a side go, the more games they play, and the more chances to score goals they have.
Bets are paid out at the end of the tournament, when the final is over and no more goals can be scored by any players.
Any goals scored in penalty shootouts, after extra time, do not count towards the players’ totals. However, goals scored from regular penalties do count.
If two or more players are tied for the award, then the amount of assists they have provided will be taken into consideration. If they are still tied after that, then the players who have played the fewest minutes will win.
