After topping the Bundesliga assist charts in 2025/26, Michael Olise has continued his fine form into the 2026 World Cup with five assists in six games, and the French winger is now odds-on to end the tournament as this summer's top provider.
With Olise already having set up Kylian Mbappe three times this summer, it's little wonder the French captain is the standout favourite to win the Golden Boot, and with the Real Madrid man on the end of Olise's passes, it seems very reasonable to predict at least another assist or two for the former Crystal Palace star - which would surely put him out of reach at the top of the standings.
The 24-year-old is creating well over two chances per game on average at the World Cup, and his total of five big chances created is only bettered by Lionel Messi - who has managed to provide just one assist - so while a number of players are still competing for the crown, our experts are expecting Olise to stay out in front.
With France heavily backed to go all the way and win a second World Cup in three tournaments, you'd think the Bayern Munich man will have the full complement of eight games to rack up the assists, and with the latest Ladbrokes odds putting him miles in front of any other challenger, it'll be something of a shock to see the honour go to anyone else.
So Michael Olise to get the most assists at the 2026 World Cup is our daily tip for day 33, as we edge ever-closer to the grand finale of what has been an unforgettable summer of football.
