Vinicius Junior betting odds
Vinicius Junior anytime goal scorer (+470)
Vinicius Junior hasn't been prolific on the international level in his career, but he's still young and he's taken on a more prominent role as a scorer over the last couple of years. He only scored five times over the first 37 caps of his career, but he's found the back of the net four times in his last 11 appearances for Brazil. His good form with Real Madrid appears to be carrying over to the summer too, as he scored in a friendly against Panama on May 31.
Vinicius Junior anytime assist (+250)
As a 21-year-old in Qatar, Vinicius Junior delivered assists in wins over Serbia and South Korea and he's now up to eight assists in his national team career. He uses his pace out wide to stretch the opposing defense and then uses his technical ability on the ball to win one-on-one. With Brazil's attacking prowess and a preference for using Vinicus Junior to attack down the left flank, this is an intriguing value.
Vinicius Junior to record 2 or more shots on target (+160)
While playing a more supporting role in 2022, Vinicius Junior took seven shots overall in four matches and put three on target. However, Carlo Ancelotti has asked for the winger to be more directly involved in the box and the hope is that he'll create more chances for himself in this tournament.
