World Cup 2026 Betting Tip of the Day: Cody Gakpo to Maintain Impressive Tournament Form
Ben McAleer
Netherlands boss Ronald Koeman has a solid squad to choose from for the 2026 World Cup.
The Oranje aren’t expected to challenge for the top honour in North America this summer but they have the personnel to give any opponent a run for their money on their day.
And one of those looking to impress at a tournament once more is Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo.
Gakpo is expected to start for the Oranje this summer and is priced at a decent 4/1 with LiveScoreBet to be their top scorer at the 2026 World Cup*.
The Reds man has been the Netherlands’ top scorer at their last two tournaments, topping the Dutch scoring charts at both the 2022 World Cup and Euro 2024. He bagged four goals in qualifying, too.
Can he make it a three-peat for Koeman’s men this summer?
While he didn’t enjoy the most prolific Premier League campaign, the former PSV man is usually one of the first names on the Netherlands team sheet, which bodes well in his bid to be the top scoring Dutchman at the World Cup.
