Dominik Szoboszlai entered the 2026/27 season as an important part of Liverpool’s midfield, with Hungarian bookmakers giving him a notable chance of making an impact in the Premier League’s assist race. While he is not among the leading favourites to finish as the league’s top goalscorer, his creative role and set-piece responsibilities make him an interesting name in player markets.
Here is what the available bookmaker odds suggest about Szoboszlai’s prospects this season.
Szoboszlai is an outside contender for the assist title
One of the clearest indicators of bookmakers’ expectations is the Premier League’s top-assists market. A report from Squawka listing one of the top bookmaker’s 2026/27 prices placed Szoboszlai at 12/1 to finish the season with the most assists. That put him behind leading contenders such as Bruno Fernandes, Rayan Cherki, Bukayo Saka and Cole Palmer, but among the players viewed as potential challengers.
A separate season preview listed Szoboszlai at 13.00 in its top-assists market. The preview highlighted his set-piece role and his record of providing seven assists in each of the previous two seasons as reasons he could be worth watching.
These prices suggest that bookmakers see Szoboszlai as a possible challenger, not a clear favourite for the assist crown.
Goalscoring expectations appear more modest
Szoboszlai is a midfielder, and the odds indicate that bookmakers do not expect him to be among the main contenders for the Premier League Golden Boot.
That does not mean he is unlikely to score. Rather, it reflects the difference between his role and that of Liverpool’s primary strikers. Szoboszlai’s value to the team can come through passing, chance creation, set pieces and late runs into attacking areas, not only through his goal total.
His role at Liverpool could shape the season
Liverpool’s season preview from Ladbrokes identified Szoboszlai as part of the club’s expected midfield, with the team predicted to finish third in the Premier League. That is a club-level forecast rather than a direct prediction of Szoboszlai’s individual output, but it points to expectations that Liverpool will be competitive and that he will remain involved in their plans.
For Szoboszlai, the key factors are likely to include how consistently he starts, how much responsibility he has on set pieces, and how effectively Liverpool’s attackers convert the chances he helps create. The assist market is especially sensitive to those factors: a well-delivered pass only becomes an assist if a teammate finishes the opportunity.
What the odds do, and do not
Bookmaker odds are not guarantees or objective forecasts. They reflect market expectations and include the bookmaker’s margin; they can also change as the season progresses, depending on form, injuries, team selection and other developments.
The figures cited here are season-preview prices published around the start of the 2026/27 campaign, not a live odds feed, and should be treated as a snapshot of expectations at the time.
