While the favorites to be Euro 2020 top goalscorers have been widely discussed, the men to set the goals up have not been considered yet. Thus, we try to put up an initial list of the players who will likely be the best assistance providers in the competition. There are a few favorites and several underdogs as per Euro 2020 top assist predictions. Few days only separate us from the heart-beating tournament that will light up the European continent. Many big names are looking to make a statement either for their individual legacy or their future in top domestic leagues. There are several awards to be given to players who will be distinguished from the rest. On top of these awards are Euro 2020 Player of the Tournament and Best Young Player. But what about the player who will give the most final passes before goals are scored? Although there is no particular award for that yet, online sportsbooks in Germany provide some exciting Euro 2020 top assist predictions. What is more, top creative players in Euros will look to set a record of most assists. Here is a shortlist of the favorites and underdogs who might achieve that.

Muller has been top assist in Europe for two seasons

The 31-year-old German forward Thomas Muller is the first player to come to mind. He recently finished with the most assists in Europe’s top five leagues for a second straight season. He had 19 assists for the Bundesliga season. It was extremely crucial for Bayern to seal the 2021 Bundesliga title. It was not his first assist record in the continent as he made 21 assists in the 2020 Bundesliga. Muller was cast out of the German squad by Low in 2019, but he is about to make a return this summer. Should he keep up with an impressive run, the Euro 2020 top assist predictions favor him with 18.00 odds at 32Red Sportsbook.

Depay will lead the Netherlands' attacking line

Lyon’s Memphis Depay has been among the closest challengers to Muller this past season. He scored 20 goals for Lyon and provided 10 assists in Ligue 1. He also registered four goals and two assists in his last five international appearances. At Euro 2020, Depay will have a strong chance to lead the Netherlands’ attacking force. Thus, online sportsbooks news in Germany suggest he might finish with most assists at 14.00 odds.

De Bruyne will likely be Belgium’s playmaker-in-chief

The 29-year-old Kevin De Bruyne will likely be a contender for much of the campaign, especially that Belgium is among the favorites to reach the Euro 2020 finals. He will lead the Red Devils’ golden generation to try and capture the European crown. It is not hard to see that as he has been averaging one assist every two games in international football. In 2020 De Bruyne narrowly missed out after assisting 20 goals and topping the Premier League charts. In 2018 he made 16 assists and took the top spot at the European Assist King race. So, if you wish to choose a player with strong experience you may consider De Bruyne with a 12.00 value.

Mbappe, Kane, and Fernandes are among the top underdogs

France are the outright favorites to win the competition. So, if you wish to choose a player of Les Bleus Kylian Mbappe among obvious choices to provide the most assists with 18.00 odds. Another strong underdog is Harry Kane of England with 28.00 odds. He finished with 14 assists and 23 goals at Tottenham this past season. Finally, Bruno Fernandes of Portugal is a great choice at 28.00 odds. He has been one of the dominant players in the midfield this past season in the Premier League and Europe. He provided 18 assists in all competitions for Man United. So, he will likely impress with Portugal if they can come out victorious in the group of death.
