Jude Bellingham, of England, and Édgar Yoel Bárcenas, of Panama, keep their eyes on the ball, Saturday, June 27, 2026, in East Rutherford..
  • Jude Bellingham offers great betting value to exploit the defense
  • Yoane Wissa presents a high-upside underdog play
  • Here are my top anytime goalscorer predictions for England vs DR Congo

One of the biggest mismatches of the round of 32 sees England take the pitch as massive -733 favorites to advance past Congo DR in Atlanta on Wednesday, July 1 (kickoff at 12:00 pm ET).

Despite both teams’ strong defensive performances in the group stage, I have found three anytime goalscorer props that offer solid value. The first section below summarizes my picks and the best-available odds. The second section explains the rationale behind each pick.

England vs Congo DR Anytime Goalscorer Picks

Player (Team)Betting Odds
Jude Bellingham (ENG)+300 (25¢ at Kalshi)
Yoane Wissa (DRC)+733 (12¢ at Kalshi)
Marcus Rashford (ENG)+225 (at bet365)

Jude Bellingham stands out as my premium option for England given his high usage and central role in their attacking schemes. I am locking him in at +300, especially with Congo DR likely forced to solve England’s width first; if Aaron Wan-Bissaka is occupied by Bukayo Saka, Bellingham’s late runs through the middle become even harder to track.

On the other side of the pitch, Yoane Wissa presents a massive payout opportunity. While traditional books lag, I found immense value grabbing his “Yes” share at twelve cents on Kalshi, translating to an implied +733 payout for Congo DR’s undisputed offensive engine. Finally, Marcus Rashford remains a constant threat to exploit the spaces out wide. His pace makes him an ideal candidate to capitalize on a fatigued Congo DR defense late in the match.

Jude Bellingham enters the knockout stage in sparkling form, tallying two goals and an assist across his three appearances. He is a critical component of an England side that netted six goals so far. Against a Congo DR defense that conceded three goals over their first three matches, Bellingham’s ability to drive into the penalty area makes him a prime candidate to strike.

At +300 on Bet365, his direct involvement in England’s attacking production justifies the wager. The implied probability of 25% does not accurately reflect his true chance of scoring in this favorable tactical setup.

For bettors looking for high-yield value on the underdog side, Yoane Wissa is the undisputed focal point of Congo DR’s attack. Wissa scored three of his nation’s four tournament goals, demonstrating his versatility with one header and one penalty conversion. He is a fixture on the pitch, having not been substituted out yet.

While England’s defense has allowed just two goals in three matches, I am aggressively targeting Wissa on Kalshi. At 12 cents per share for a “Yes” on his goalscorer market, you get an implied +733 payout. This offers tremendous plus money upside if Congo DR breaches the backline.

Marcus Rashford provides an explosive option for England, whether starting or coming off the bench. Having featured in all three matches and entering as a substitute in two of them, Rashford has already registered one goal. His pace and fresh legs present a dangerous mismatch for this fixture.

England is expected to heavily control the ball, averaging 66.67% possession through three matches. They will create ample chances. Backing Rashford at +225 is a solid play to capitalize on his late-game impact. I expect him to exploit wide channels as the opposition tires.
