William Hill World Cup 2026 Offer: Get 1/1 for Messi to score in the group stages

William Hill are offering new and existing customers boosted odds of 1/1 - from 1/9 - for Lionel Messi to score in the group stages of the 2026 World Cup.

The Argentine legend, who is preparing for what will be a record sixth World Cup, captained Argentina to glory in Qatar four years ago and will be aiming to lead the reigning champions to back-to-back titles.

The two-time Golden Ball winner also has individual history in his sights as he heads into the tournament with 13 World Cup goals, leaving him just three short of Miroslav Klose's all-time record of 16.

Read on to find out how to claim this enhanced-price offer before the 8pm deadline on Thursday 4th June.

How Does the William Hill Lionel Messi Offer Work?

As part of William Hill's World Cup 2026 promotions, the bookmaker has enhanced the odds on Lionel Messi to score during the group stages from 1/9 to Evens.

Customers simply need to select the enhanced price and place their bet before the promotion expires at 8pm on Thursday 4th June 2026.

Who Does Lionel Messi Face in the Group Stages?

Argentina have been drawn in Group J for the 2026 World Cup, where Lionel Messi will have three opportunities to find the net during the opening phase of the tournament.

Argentina's group-stage fixtures are:

• Argentina vs Algeria – Wednesday 17th June
• Argentina vs Austria – Monday 22nd June
• Jordan vs Argentina – Sunday 28th June

On paper, Argentina will be expected to make a strong start against Algeria, before a testing battle with Austria in their second match, and a final game against group outsiders Jordan.

For William Hill's enhanced odds offer to land, Messi simply needs to score at least once across these three matches.

Why Consider This Offer?

Lionel Messi is the joint-fourth top World Cup goalscorer of all time, just three goals behind outright leader Miroslav Klose. With William Hill boosting the odds from 1/9 to Evens, customers can take advantage of a significantly enhanced price compared to the standard market.

For those expecting Argentina's captain to get on the scoresheet during the group stage, this promotion offers considerably greater value than the original odds.
