Best Harry Kane Props & Odds: Expert Prop Picks for Saturday, July 18
Even though England might have nothing to play for but pride in Saturday's third-place match against France, my Harry Kane player props like his chances of making history.
Despite the disappointment of missing out on the final, Kane could become the first player in World Cup history to win the Golden Boot twice as the tournament's leading scorer if he can add to his goal tally. Kane, who won the prestigious award in 2018, has scored six goals - just two behind leaders Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe, who is also chasing history after capturing the Golden Boot at the 2022 World Cup.
My World Cup best bets feature three picks, all at plus money.

‼️ THE MOST IMPORTANT NOTE ON THIS GAME
There is no note more important than this heading into the game: play these markets only on sites that offer "Sub On, Play On" offers without changing the odds.
If Kane subs off, his substitute will pick up and add on to the market. Don't take slightly higher odds on sites that will end your wager when he leaves the pitch.
💰 Best Harry Kane prop prediction
Harry Kane anytime goal (+115) vs. France
Although he struggled to make an impact during a relatively quiet outing in England's 2-1 loss to Argentina in the semifinals, we're backing Kane to do what he does best and find the back of the net on Saturday.
Kane will like his chances of returning to the score sheet in the third-place game against a France team that looked rattled during its 2-0 defeat to Spain. Kane's chances of scoring will be boosted by the absence of imposing France center-back William Saliba, who is out with a back injury.
Although he's the shortest-priced English player to score, it makes sense to pick Kane to score in a match where head coaches historically prioritize attacking flair over defense.
💵 SBR Edge: Spotlight still on Kane despite Bellingham pressure
Kane might be level on goals with teammate Jude Bellingham, but the Bayern Munich striker has the edge on the midfielder as England's focal point in attack and the designated penalty taker.
If France coach Didier Deschamps fields a team of players who haven't played much at this World Cup, then there will be an increase in the odds that one of them commits a reckless foul that results in the match official pointing to the penalty spot, where Kane is almost guaranteed to score.

Harry Kane to score 2 or more goals (+750) vs. France
The World Cup third-place match is usually a high-scoring affair, so it isn't out of the realm of possibility that Kane records a brace in Miami on Saturday.
Even though he's going up against a France side that was revered for its defensive prowess for much of the 2026 World Cup, there's a chance that Les Bleus will field a weakened team in a game where there's little incentive to exert maximum effort.
The hunt for another Golden Boot will motivate Kane to test France's goalkeeper more than usual.
Harry Kane to have 3 or more shots on target (+320) vs. France
Although he didn't record a single shot on target in England's defeat to Argentina, expect Kane to be highly aggressive against France to put the pressure on Mbappe and Messi in the Golden Boot race.
Kane will be the primary target in Thomas Tuchel's attack, with his movement in the box and eagerness to shoot making him a prime candidate to record three or more shots on target.
Averaging nearly three shots on target at this World Cup, it makes sense to back Kane to unleash shots on target with more frequency against France whenever he has the chance.
