⚠️
Important: This Is a Single-Winner Market
Unlike anytime goalscorer, only one player can win a first goalscorer bet — whoever scores the match's opening goal. That makes the payouts considerably bigger than anytime markets, but also means picking the right player matters much more. This covers 90 minutes plus stoppage time only; extra time and penalty shootouts don't count, and own goals don't count either.
📖 First Goalscorer Market Overview
This board is genuinely tight at the top, fitting for what multiple outlets have called the closest tie of the entire Round of 16. Luis Díaz's +600 is the shortest price, narrowly ahead of Breel Embolo and Luis Suárez, who are tied at +650. That closeness mirrors the anytime goalscorer market, where the same three names occupy the top tier almost interchangeably.
One number worth sitting with: No Goalscorer — meaning the match stays scoreless through 90 minutes — sits at +800, shorter than every single player on the board except that top trio of Díaz, Embolo and Suárez. That's a genuine, direct reflection of how cagey and low-event this specific tie is expected to be, consistent with both sides' defensive records this tournament. James Rodríguez's +900 price carries real uncertainty given his reported illness — confirm his status before betting him specifically.

All odds FanDuel Sportsbook · 90 min + stoppage time only, no ET/PKs, own goals don't count · Live today
Multiple previews independently flag his matchup against an advanced Silvan Widmer as the key battle of the game — a genuine, well-supported route to breaking the deadlock first.
Verdict · Confirmed +600, board favorite · 2 units
If Switzerland strike first, it's overwhelmingly likely to run through Embolo — fed by Ndoye, Manzambi and Vargas all pulling defenders out of position around him.
Verdict · Confirmed +650, tied for second · 1-2 units
The clear Swiss pick if you want that side.

🎯 First Goalscorer Betting Notes
Why First Goalscorer Over Anytime
Bigger payouts for the same core read
Díaz's anytime price is +230 versus +600 here — a considerably bigger multiplier for backing the same underlying belief that he's the match's most likely goalscorer.
The Trade-Off
Only one winner per match, no partial credit
Unlike anytime markets, a player scoring the second goal doesn't cash this bet — precision matters more here than volume of goalscoring threats.
⚠️ This first goalscorer market covers 90 minutes plus stoppage time only — extra time and penalties don't count. Own goals don't count. Confirm lineups before betting. Must be 21+. Gambling Problem? 1-800-GAMBLER.
