World Cup Outright #2 🌍⚽️ Lionel Messi ‘To Score In The Group Stages’ is boosted from 1/9 (1.11) to 1/1 (2.00) on William Hill. While exchanges don’t currently offer this exact market, the underlying data suggests there could be strong value in the price. Messi, although now 38 years old, continues to show why he’s one of the greatest players ever. He finished Joint 2nd Top Goalscorer in the 2025/26 MLS season scoring 12 goals in just 14 appearances. Internationally, Messi finished 2nd Top Goalscorer at the Qatar 2022 World Cup with 7 goals, only behind Mbappé, while also winning Player of the Tournament as Argentina lifted the trophy. Argentina’s 2026 World Cup group looks extremely favourable on paper consisting of: Algeria (28th ranked) Austria (24th ranked) Jordan (63rd ranked) I’m fully expecting Argentina to comfortably qualify from this group and naturally that should create multiple scoring opportunities for Messi, especially considering he still takes penalties and the majority of direct free kicks. Messi has scored in the Group Stages in 5 of his last 6 major international tournaments for Argentina: Copa America 2024: 0 Goals ❌ Qatar 2022 World Cup: 2 Goals ✅ Copa America 2021: 1 Goal ✅ Russia 2018 World Cup: 1 Goal ✅ Copa America 2016: 3 Goals ✅ Brazil 2014 World Cup: 4 Goals ✅ In fact, across Messi’s last 40 appearances for Argentina, he’s only gone three consecutive games without scoring ONCE. Considering Argentina have three group matches against opposition they’ll likely dominate possession against, it would honestly be a surprise if Messi failed to score at least once across the group stage. Now, could this lose? Of course — no bet is guaranteed. But the key here is that you’re getting a price above the true line, which is exactly what you want long term. I’m on. ✅
