Premier League antepost predictions: most assists at 201, keep an eye on Manchester City’s new signing
Manchester City’s front line could score a avalanche of goals this season, so you could try a risky bet on the player with the most assists following Kevin De Bruyne’s departure.
Pep Guardiola’s team looked sparkling at the Club World Cup, playing with a certain recklessness and scoring 16 goals in four games. Hoping that this trend continues, Rayan Ait-Nouri as the best assist man of the season at a staggering 201 is worth a try.
The Algerian has provided seven assists playing for Wolves, who finished 16th last year – just three short of the threshold for a tie. It was by far his best performance in terms of assists since arriving in the Premier League, and it’s no surprise: he has recorded the highest number of shot-creating actions per 90 minutes (2.63) since arriving in England.
Now, in a more attacking and talented team, with more freedom to push forward and overlap, as he already showed at the Club World Cup, he could easily exceed double figures for assists, and that could be enough.
The only downside is that he will miss a few league games to participate in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). If you don’t want to bet in advance, he is still one to watch in the early games when he is likely to have high odds for assists. Before they drop in case of a positive outcome, it’s worth a try.
