Mbappe’s 3.33 shots on target per game is the highest in the tournament. At 1.33 goals per game, he has scored in the majority of France’s matches.

The team has found the net in 19 consecutive matches and carries a seven-match winning streak. When France leads 1-0 at home, they win 87% of their matches. When trailing 0-1 at home, they’ve won 100% of the time. France will create chances, and Mbappe converts 50% of them into goals (eight goals from 16 French goals total).Multiple pathways. Mbappe has scored one penalty goal this tournament, so foul situations inside the box give him additional opportunities beyond open play. France’s system creates transition overloads where Mbappe’s pace is devastating one-on-one.At 46%, the market prices this
