The defensive trend is set to prevail at Euro 2024 and Georgian Mikautadze’s lead in the scoring race is not at all surprising, but he will be overtaken by the German star.
The group stage of Euro 2024 has ended, which revealed a trend that the fans do not like very much. Most of the best teams, which have star players in the forward line, have chosen an extremely cautious, if not cowardly, defensive scheme. In France and England, this trend is more obvious: only two goals from each of the teams, based on the results of three group stage matches.

The list of top scorers at Euro 2024 is thus not topped by Kylian Mbappé, Harry Kane or Cristiano Ronaldo. With three goals scored, Georgian national team striker Georges Mikautadze is at the top of the list. Does the 23-year-old striker have a real chance of winning a prestigious award or will the stars be awakened from their slumber in the playoffs?
Georgia dictates fashion
Georgia was a debutant at Euro 2024, but not at all shy. Having received a lesson from Turkey in the first match (1-3), Willy Sagnol’s team let go of the psychological burden and played recklessly, rejecting the fear of defeat.
Georgia managed to draw with the Czech Republic (1-1) and then caused a sensation by defeating Portugal (2-0). Georges Mikautadze contributed greatly to the team’s success.
But the striker is unlikely to have a chance to replenish his assets: Georgia’s opponent in the round of 16 match was powerful and impeccable in defense, Spain, which did not lose a single goal until Euro 2024. Georges Mikautadze’s victory In the race for the title of top scorer at Euro 2024, the odds are estimated at 15.0.
Southgate freezes Kane
The English coach’s ultra-defensive style of play not only causes boredom but also irritation among fans and spectators. The England team, made up entirely of Premier League stars and led by last season’s Bundesliga top scorer Harry Kane, scored only two goals in the group stage.
At the same time, the Bayern striker managed to score a goal and remains among the favorites in the race for the title of top scorer of Euro 2024. You can bet that Harry Kane will win at odds of 8.00. England are quite capable of repeating their path to the final of the tournament, but considering Southgate’s style, the striker will find it difficult to prove himself.
The boy is unrecognizable with a mask.
France faced a similar problem. Didier Deschamps radically changed the formation in favour of a reliable defensive game. With great difficulty, the “tricolors” created dangerous moments and managed to score only two goals in the group stage: an own goal and a penalty converted by Kylian Mbappé.
Euro 2024 Winner Prediction:
A surprise from Austria, the power of Germany and boring England. Who reached the round of 16 of Euro 2024?
There is a small chance that Deschamps will leave the Scheme, but Mbappé is in trouble: due to a nose injury, the Real Madrid striker is forced to play with a mask. You can take a risk and bet that Mbappé will become the top scorer at 7.50. At least he is the bookmakers’ favourite.
Nagelsmann trusts Musiala
At 10.0, you can bet that Jamal Musiala of the German national team, who scored two goals, will win the race for the title of top scorer at Euro 2024. Germany is perhaps the only big team that relies on an open attacking game, in which the Bayern Munich midfielder is entrusted with a special role.
He often plays in attacking positions and the presence of Toni Kroos in midfield allows the young talent to rely on a timely and convenient pass. The veteran is in perfect health and is in high spirits for the last European Championship of his career.
Forecast
We believe that Jamal Musiala has an excellent chance of beating his star competitors and winning the prestigious title of top scorer. Germany plays a more open style and is quite capable of reaching the final, meaning the talented midfielder has at least four more games left.
Tender: Jamal Musiala will win the title of 10.0 top scorer.
