The first goalscorer market is exactly what it says on the tin. You select the player who you think will score the first goal in the match and then if you are correct, you are paid out.
The odds for first goalscorers are typically much longer than anytime goalscorer odds, due to the fact you're selecting a player to score a specific goal in the match. It's a fun market to back and one that can prove to be fruitful with a bit of research.
Euro 2024 first goalscorer – our picks
Switzerland vs Germany first goalscorer prediction – Jamal Musiala (11/2)
23 June 2024, 8pm BST – Deutsche Bank Park, Frankfurt
Jamal Musiala has been the player of the tournament so far and has netted in both of Germany's matches so far. He scored the second goal against Scotland and the opener against Hungary which makes him a man in red-hot form. Germany may make a few changes, but Musiala will start.
Hot tip – Musiala to be Germany's top scorer at Euro 2024 (11/8)
Musiala is already leading the way for German scorers at Euro 2024 and with Kai Havertz seemingly the preferred striker option for Germany, there is every chance that Musiala could end up as their top goalscorer. Considering he is still longer than evens, this is worth a punt.
Albania vs Spain first goalscorer prediction – Alvaro Morata (3/1)
24 June 2024, 8pm BST – Merkur Spiel-Arena, Dusseldorf
Alvaro Morata opened the scoring for Spain in their first Euro 2024 match against Croatia and he had a number of other good openings against Italy. While there have always been doubts about his ability to score against the best defences, there is no doubting his ability at being able to punish weaker teams, of which Albania are one.
Hot tip – Alvaro Morata to score two or more goals (11/2)
Morata is a player who has always been a confidence player which lends itself to the 2+ goal market. During the 2023/24 season, Morata scored 2+ goals in six matches for club and country which illustrates just how dangerous he is once he get gets one goal under his belt. This is also a bet that should interest those who like use in-play markets.
England vs Slovenia first goalscorer prediction – Harry Kane (11/4)
25 June 2024, 5pm BST – RheinEnergieStadion, Cologne
Although England have been poor in both of their Euro 2024 matches so far, nobody could have predicted that Harry Kane's position at the top of the pitch would be debated. The Bayern Munich striker scored 44 goals for Bayern Munich last season and opened the scoring in England's last match against Denmark. He is going to play, and he will more than likely score first.
Hot tip – England to score over 2.5 goals (7/4)
Gareth Southgate will be making changes to his setup for the match with Slovenia and that should spark a reaction from his players. Slovenia are the weakest team in England's group and need to attack which means there should be plenty of space for England's attacking players.
