Who will win Golden Boot, Golden Ball at FIFA Women's World Cup 2023?
The tournament is underway in Australia and New Zealand
During the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023, the top attackers in women's football will be on full display, and if they're all on their game, the competition for the Golden Boot and Golden Ball may be close.
Here are the two candidates who KhelNow predict will win the two most coveted prizes in the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023.
Who will win the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 Golden Ball as the competition's top player and take it home?
Aitana Bonmati: Aitana has stepped up for Barcelona and Spain after Alexia Putellas' injury last year, and she has succeeded in doing so. She was awarded the best player and won the Champions League. She might hold the key to Spain winning the competition.
Sam Kerr will be the Australia team's driver and leader if they go deep, according to Alexi Lalas, the hosts. Like Diego Maradona in 1986, I believe that the feeling will be that she carried the squad on her back and led them to greatness by pure willpower.
Sophia Smith: She enters the competition in excellent shape from the NWSL, and I predict that the USWNT will take home the trophy. I believe she can contribute a lot of goals and be a powerful breakout player for the USWNT in her maiden World Cup if she is often starting on the wing.
Pernille Harder is another player who might turn out to be a decent alternative. Last winter, she was sidelined due to injury, but she came back strong, scoring five goals in Chelsea's final five games of the season, giving her eight goals in 10 WSL games for the year.
Denmark might not have the tournament endurance to offer Harder enough opportunities to accumulate a total, but should they can pull off one or two upsets, Harder will be in position for the top of the rankings.
Who is going to take the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 Golden Boot and score the most goals?
Picking a top scorer for the Three Lionesses is a fool's errand because there are so many goal scorers on the team, but Chloe Kelly generates more opportunities than anyone else on the globe. Kelly produced an absurd 6.82 shot-creating actions per 90 minutes while playing for club and nation over roughly 1800 minutes in the previous year. He also accrued 0.54 xG per 90 minutes.
Sophia Smith could be Golden Boot Winner, US will play at least six games and score many goals. They will be more driven to score against Portugal and Vietnam if goal differential ends up being the deciding factor in the group.
Trinity Rodman, who netted a hat trick in the final friendly against Wales, is one player who is ready to take charge the attacking role for the USA.
But it's her chance generation, relying on her incredible dribbling skills, which resulted in 2.62 effective take-ons per 90 minutes, in the 95th percentile, that really shines out. She excels in the air as well, giving her another tool with which to give colleagues opportunities in the area of penalty.
