Check out the latest odds to win Most Assists at the 2026 World Cup as a surge of bets come in for France's Michael Olise.
Michael Olise has become the punters’ pick to finish with the Most Assists at World Cup 2026 after another standout creative performance for France.
The Bayern Munich winger has taken 64% of bets through Oddschecker to finish as the tournament’s top assist provider following France’s 3-0 win over Iraq — a huge jump from the 17% share of bets he had taken in the week before the match.
Olise’s odds have also collapsed since the start of the tournament, moving from 16/1 into 5/2. In implied probability terms, that is a move from around 5.9% to 28.6%.
Olise stars again as France reach the knockouts
Olise’s market surge follows his role in France’s weather-affected 3-0 win over Iraq, where Kylian Mbappé scored twice on his 100th France appearance and Les Bleus booked their place in the round of 32.
Olise has now provided three assists in his first two World Cup matches, one more than he managed in his first 17 France appearances. He also became only the third French player this century to provide two assists in a single World Cup match, after Karim Benzema and Antoine Griezmann.
That has put him among the early leaders in the World Cup 2026 assists race, with Olise and Alexander Isak on three assists after two matches.
Why are bettors backing Michael Olise?
The betting move is not just about one match. Olise also impressed in France’s opening 3-1 win over Senegal, finishing with one assist, two big chances created, 14 passes into the final third, and the most distance covered and sprints of any player on the pitch.
His club form adds further context. Olise finished the 2025/26 campaign with 22 goals and 29 assists in 52 games for Bayern Munich, winning the Bundesliga Player of the Season award as Bayern completed a domestic double.
France’s attacking options also strengthen his case, with Olise a key part of a front line also featuring Mbappé, Ousmane Dembéle, Bradley Barcola and others.
Who is favourite to win the Most Assists at the 2026 World Cup?
Michael Olise is now the clear 5/2 favourite to win Most Assists at the World Cup, with Alexander Isak following him in the market at 10/1.
