What is ‘Any or Assist’?
This market allows you to back a player to either score OR register an assist at any time in the match. You only need one of the two events to land for the bet to win, which gives far more coverage than a traditional goalscorer bet.
A player might have an off-day in front of goal but still create the moment that decides the match. That extra insurance is what makes this market valuable.
When we look at Transfermarkt stats for this season, some of Europe’s most dangerous attackers are creating almost as much as they are scoring. Players who might normally be backed to score are actually dominating the assist charts:
- Lamine Yamal has 5 goals and 8 assists.
- Michael Olise has 6 goals and 7 assists.
- Marcus Rashford has 2 goals but 7 assists.
- Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has 5 goals and 6 assists.
- Luis Díaz has 7 goals and 5 assists.
- Vinícius Júnior has contributed 5 goals and 5 assists.
These players are threats in multiple ways, which is exactly why Any or Assist offers such strong value. Even if they do not score, they are heavily involved in their team’s attacking buildup and can still deliver through creativity.
As always, research is key. Look at the opposition’s defensive form, the number of chances a team typically allows, and where the attacking danger comes from. Stat-based insights are crucial to identifying players who consistently contribute in both phases.

What is ‘Any + Assist’?
This is the more ambitious version – the player must score AND assist in the same game. It is a much riskier market, but one with big potential rewards. Odds for Any + Assist generally fall in the range of 8.00 and often into double figures of 10+, depending on the fixture and the player’s profile.
This market is best suited to players who carry multiple avenues of attacking output: those who routinely get into scoring positions but also act as key creators. High-volume chance creators, wide forwards who cut inside, and penalty-box wingers are often strong options here.
Because the market requires two separate attacking events, punters should lean even more heavily on research. Look at how often the player is involved in both goals and assists, analyse the opponent’s defensive weaknesses, and assess whether the match is likely to be open, high-tempo or end-to-end. Fixtures against teams who concede plenty of chances tend to offer the best value.
While it is naturally riskier than Any or Assist, the Any + Assist market can provide excellent value for informed, research-driven bettors. With the right matchup and the right player profile, this market becomes an opportunity to chase higher returns without relying purely on goals alone.
