(Correct ahead of Quarter Final matches)
Below, we take a closer look at what the odds are saying in this market, with BoyleSports providing the bulk of the prices...
Bruno Fernandes: 3 Assists
Portugal came alive in the 6-1 spanking of Switzerland in the last-16, during which Bruno Fernandes assisted Pepe for the second goal, which he added to the two assists he conjured during Portugal’s opening 3-2 win over Ghana.
The Man Utd player also has two goals to his name to date, bagging a brace in the 2-0 win against Uruguay.
Fernandes is now the 11/4 favourite with BoyleSports to rack-up the most assists in Qatar. Considering the calibre of attacking players around him - Gonçalo Ramos, Cristiano Ronaldo and João Félix to name a few - you’d expect his fine form in the goal contributions department to continue in the quarter-finals against Morocco, a match Portugal are odds-on to win.
However, it is perhaps worth noting that Morocco have conceded just one goal so far, and prevented the likes of Spain, Belgium, and Croatia from scoring. The African side will now be tasked with dismantling Bruno an co.
Harry Kane: 3 Assists
Kane, the pre-tournament favourite for the Golden Boot, has traded in his goals - one goal - to become England’s No.1 creator so far with three assists on the board.
The striker set-up both Sterling and Rashford in the 6-2 thrashing of Iran, then registered an assist for Phil Foden in the 3-0 defeat of Wales.
The France game will be huge, yet Kane and co will draw confidence that they can breach a backline that has conceded in all four games they've played in the World Cup so far.
England boast one of the best attacks in the tournament and you’d think Kane will have a pivotal part to play on Saturday night. At 9/2, he's definitely one to watch in the Most Assists betting.
Selected Others
As mentioned, there are a cluster of players bang in the mix on two assists.
Not content with just leading the Golden Boot and Ball Betting, Kylian Mbappe is in the mix to accumulate the most assists too, of which he has two so far. Expect his price to drop from 9/1 should France get the better of England.
Vinicius Junior and Phil Foden can be backed at 8/1 and 18/1 respectively. Lionel Messi only has one assist on the board but considering he's only two assists off the top-two, 16/1 could attract some attention.
For some monster prices on a wide-range of players, don't forget to check out UniBet, who have Neymar (1) at 50/1, Antoine Griezmann (1) at 33/1, Jude Bellingham (1) at 50/1, and Luke Shaw (1) out at 80/1.
