World Cup Golden Glove Prediction
Jordan Pickford (+800)
Based on England’s advantageous path to the semifinals and a potentially misleading defensive record, I predict Jordan Pickford wins the Golden Glove (+800).
One look at England’s World Cup qualifying campaign suggests they possess an elite defense. That still may be the case, but I’m wary of the unit once they begin facing decent competition.
It could potentially bring Pickford into play more often than not. He stands as the unquestioned number one for the Three Lions, which could receive a favorable path to the semis.
If England holds serve as a -350 favorite to win Group L, it places Thomas Tuchel’s side opposite France and Spain in the bracket.
The presumed quarterfinal opponent for England would be Brazil, if seeds hold. A chance exists that the Netherlands will place second in Group F and play in the same octet.
But the real threat for England wouldn’t come until the semifinals. You’re likely looking at either Argentina or Portugal, barring a surprise run from another nation.
Even if Argentina reaches the semifinals, I like Pickford at +800 more than Martinez at +500. Plus, Portugal’s Diego Costa (+1000) likely wouldn’t get credit for a deep run.
To me, it makes Pickford the most intriguing based on pricing over Maignan and Spain’s Unai Simon.
