It’s not only the boot that’s prone to turning gold.
The Golden Glove is the award given to the best goalkeeper at the World Cup. The winner often comes down to impact, with clutch saves in knockout stage matches and standout performances in the tournament’s crunch-time moments.
In four of the last five World Cups, the winner of this award has come from the champion nation.

Here is what to know about this oddsboard:
The Favorite(s): For the first time since the tournament began, Spain’s Unai Simon is favored. He and his squad have yet to allow a single goal so far, giving Simon five clean sheets. He also has six saves. France’s Mike Maignan has nine saves and has allowed just two goals over the course of five games. In terms of Argentina’s Emiliano Martínez, he won the Golden Glove back in 2022, but he and the Argentinian defense did allow two goals to upstart Cape Verde in the Round of 32 and then allowed to more against Egypt in the Round of 16.
