Football, men
Spain win, 3
Spain's bid for the Tokyo Olympics looks like one of the strongest, with which bookmakers agree. On the triumph of Furies Roja in the tournament, the League of Betting set the odds of 3.
One of the main reasons is that some of the main team players were included in the roster. So, goalkeeper Unai Simon, defenders Eric Garcia and Pau Torres, as well as attack-oriented Pedri, Dani Olmo and Mikel Oyarsabal, played at the European Championship.
The main competitor is the Brazilians. However, their squad is a little weaker, although the captain is the experienced Dani Alves.
The Spaniards were eliminated in the Euro semifinals on July 6th, so they will have time to recover and prepare for the first group stage matches, which will take place on July 22nd. In addition, in the first round against Egypt, Spain will be easier, because Liverpool did not let Mohammed Salah join the Olympic team.
Basketball, men
USA wins, 1.11
The basketball tournament starts on July 25th. The Americans are the undisputed favorite. They didn't win just three Olympics (1972, 1988 and 2004).
This time, many leaders of the national team refused to come to Japan. This does not mean that the Americans will ruin the Olympics now. The potential is more than enough to win the golden set of awards. But many experts note a noticeable bias of the US national team in the composition of performers towards defense. A powerful defensive play should be expected with a decrease in performance.
The Argentine national team will bring a squad to the summer competition, where for a few oldies it will be the last Olympics. The motivation to repeat the success of 2004 will be off the charts. Then it turned out to outplay the Americans in the semifinals and subsequently win gold.
The Spaniards are strongly motivated for success. They lost in the finals to the Americans in 2008 and 2012. The Europeans are approaching the upcoming tournament in a powerful physical form, which, with high potential, can give excellent results. All the leaders are in the ranks, which speaks of a deep and high-quality bench.
Serbia and Croatia decided to rely on talented youth. At the last Olympic Games, the Serbs managed to make it to the final. There, with a score of 96:66, they were defeated by the United States. Now it will be difficult to repeat this success.
The US men's team is much stronger than its rivals, so its triumph for the odds of 1.11 in Bet City will not be superfluous to take on the express.
Tennis
As part of the men's category, half of the TOP-20 representatives will not come to Tokyo. This will lead to several unexpected results in the tournament. The coverage factor should also be taken into account:
- The herb season has recently ended. Wimbledon took a lot of energy from rating tennis players;
- Most of the athletes are now playing on clay;
- The competition in Tokyo will be held on hard.
Not the arrival of many tops, a sharp change in coverage – these are the 2 main reasons for several sensational results in the men's category at the upcoming Olympic Games.
The leader of the rating is Djokovic. The Serb did his best at Wimbledon on his favorite turf. Even such a versatile person will find it difficult to emotionally rebuild to hard right away. The closest pursuers in the rating are able to provide him with worthy resistance and take the gold.
Hard is a favorite coating for Daniil Medved. You can simply bet on his victory at the odds of 5.5. But it is more promising to put a “fan” on the success of Tsitsipas, Medvedev and Federer, if the latter gives his final consent to participate in the Olympics.
Volleyball
As part of this sport, several strong European men's teams will not come to Tokyo. Serbs, the reigning European champions, failed to qualify. The Slovenes, who are vice-champions, could not overcome the semifinals. In the final of the qualification, the victory was celebrated by the French, who managed to take the ticket from the strong Germans. The bookmaker's analysts set a coefficient of 6 for the victory of the “tricolor” ones.
The same figures are for the success of the Russians, who, even taking into account the absence of a number of European teams, have enough worthy rivals in the tournament:
- Powerful Brazilians, one of the leaders in the rating of any international competition – the current Olympic champions and finalists of the 2018 World Cup;
- Recently, the Americans have greatly improved, achieving high results at the extreme international tournaments – bronze medalists of the OI 2016 and the World Cup 2018;
- Argentines have become dangerous: the Russians are experiencing problems with this South American national team, losing to it at the 2019 World Cup;
- The leader of the rating is the Poles, as the reigning World Champions, who beat the Brazilians in the final with a score of 3: 0 in 2018.
The Russian national team already from the group stage will have to actively engage in a tough struggle. The group got tough opponents.
Several bets can be made based on this. Poles are a little overrated. It is clear that they managed to reach the final in the recent League of Nations, where they lost 3: 1 to the Brazilians. But it will be difficult to “shoot” 2 tournaments in a row. Opponents will prepare qualitatively for the matches with the national team of Poland. Therefore, the leader of the rating can be ignored and fanned out to win his closest pursuers: Brazil, Russia, France and the United States.
Handball
Special attention should be paid to the women's teams, where the Russians are among the main favorites of the tournament.
The leader of the rating is the powerful Norwegians, but they got into the “A” group. The current world champion, the Dutch national team, was also there. The main rivals of the Russians in Group B are the French, the silver medalists of the Olympic Games 2016.
The dark horse is the Brazilian national team. The lineup has been greatly updated there. It is difficult to assess how the representative of South America will perform at the Olympic Games. True, the Brazilian national team will bring many older athletes to Japan, which will affect their performance level after the 2nd round, when their physical condition will slightly decrease. The Russians were unlucky that they would have to face such an opponent in the first round.
It is not just that the Russian national team was put on the 2nd place in the rating by the BK analysts. Half of the 2016 Olympic winners will fly to Tokyo. The country's volleyball federation counts on their experience and skill. The Russians are obliged to leave the group from 1-2 places. Swedes, Spaniards and Hungarians are significantly inferior in the level of the game today
The Montenegrins have added a lot lately. In qualifying for Olympic Games 2020, they took 1st place in the group, defeating the Norwegians. In group “A” a fundamental struggle will unfold between strong teams.
The Russian national team will exhibit practically the strongest line-up. In previous international competitions, staffing problems each time prevented them from achieving high results.
You can bet like a fan on victory in the tournament for the national teams of Russia and France.
Judo
This type of martial arts is originally from Japan, so one can only imagine how the hosts of the Olympic Games are tuned in to the competition. However, the sport is special for Russia as well.
Tamerlan Bashaev at the beginning of summer lost the final of the World Championship in the category over 100 kg, but he will not meet with the offender at the Olympics. And the Russians are obliged to cope with another Japanese – Hisayoshi Harasawa.
Among women in the category up to 48 kg., Daria Beloded has a real chance of success, despite the high quotation of 7.
Dystria Krasniki is weaker. In the final of the European Championship, which took place in April, she won, but Beloded simply did not come out to the fight.
As for Funa Tonaki, she has repeatedly yielded to the Ukrainian. For example, in two finals – at the 2018 World Cup and the 2019 pre-Olympic tournament.
Freestyle wrestling
Men, up to 65 kg.
Gold should be taken by Gadzhimurad Rashidov (odds 1.75). It is trite, he is stronger, even the main competitor from India, who performed worse at the last World Championship (semi-final against the victory of the Russian), and also could not win even the recent Asian Championship.
Greco-Roman wrestling
Men, up to 87 kg.
Jean Beleniuk, a bet on which he will double the amount, took only bronze at the European Championship in the middle of spring. However, he is able to defeat his main opponent at the Olympics, Viktor Lorinets, as he did in the 2019 World Cup final.
Athletics
Running 100 m, men.
Trayvon Bromell should win the 100-meter race for men. He's just faster and mentally well prepared.
The American has more than once coped with compatriot Fred Curley, and South African Akani Simbine (record 9.84 against 9.77.) Is less stable and did not achieve significant achievements when the competitors were top sprinters.
Swimming
Men, 200 m., Complex.
In this discipline, it is advisable to wait for the victory of the American Michael Endro. He won the qualification with a score of 1: 55.44.
Competition in the United States is high. For example, the six-time Olympic champion Ryan Lochte (the author of the current world record), in this swim, became only seventh.
On Andrew's success, the odds are 2.05.
Daya Seto is the main competitor. The personal record of the Japanese at a distance is 1: 56.14.
Water polo
Among the men's teams, the European teams are the main contenders for victory. The leader of the rating is the Hungarians.
Serbs, Italians, Spaniards, Croats and Montenegrins have high chances for gold according to the bookmakers' rating.
In the recent qualification of the World League, the Hungarians showed their not the best game. But the Magyars are the reigning European champions, having beaten the Spaniards with great difficulty in the final. In 2019, the Hungarians lost the 3rd place match to the Croats. BC analysts were quick to make the Hungarians such clear favorites. Behind them, the Spaniards are in no way inferior to them and are strongly motivated to rehabilitate for the defeat in an equal fight at Euro 2020. And before that, the Spaniards also lost in the 2019 World Cup final to the Italians. The Pyrenees have high potential, but there are questions about their fighting qualities. Their overwhelming motivation will now increase.
The Montenegrins gained excellent shape. The national team played many matches this year and played well, being the bronze medalist of the last Euro.
It is difficult to understand why bookmakers give second place in the ranking to Serbs. They took 5th place at the last world championship and 5th place at the last Euro. In the recently passed qualification, the Serbs showed a good game, having been defeated by the Spaniards.
Although the Spaniards were not very impressed with their game in qualifications and friendly matches, the team did not give all the best there. It was felt that this national team did not want to reach its full potential and was ready to shoot at the Olympic Games. You can bet on the victory of the Spanish national team by odds of 4.7.
Weightlifting
Men, up to 96 kg.
In BC 1xBet can be placed on the fact that Faris Ibrahim El-Bah will win – quotation 1.91. The winning value of the closest pursuer, Anton Plesny, who represents Georgia, is 2.88.
However, the Ukrainian has almost no chance. In the last major competitions, he pushed 213 kg, achieving an overall result of 393 kg. The Qatar man, in the clean and jerk on the barbell, was 224 kg, and the final figure was 402 kg. The difference is significant.
Softball
The sport that missed four Olympics returns to the tournament. Based on the lineups and the results of the recent World Championships, the USA is the leading national team.
Karate
Women, kata.
Sandra Sanchez – odds 1.65 (at BC Betcity). The Spaniard has won the European Championship since 2015 (6 tournaments in a row), and in 2018, won the world championship. She also won the most medals in the Premier League Karate (35 in a row).
Sanchez has consistently held major tournaments, so mistakes that can deprive her of gold are not worth waiting for.
Fencing
In individual competitions among women (foil), for the victory of Inna Deriglazova, BC 1xBet offers a quote of 1.94.
In fact, the only one who can impose competition on the Russian woman is Di Francisca. The Italian won the full-time final of the 2019 European Championship. However, Deriglazova took revenge in the semifinals of the world championship and won the tournament. In the team competition, Inna also won gold, inflicting a decisive injection in a duel with Eliza.
In the individual tournament (saber), Olga Harlan (2) is the contender for success. Only Sophia the Great is capable of imposing a struggle on her (3). The rest of the fencers are noticeably lower in class.
An interesting point: the quotes for the final success of the Ukrainian woman and getting into the TOP-3 are identical
Harlan is number one in the world rankings. The Ukrainian will hold the fourth Olympics. Olga is highly motivated. First, she never won an individual gold. Secondly, the Ukrainian national team did not qualify for the Olympic Games for the first time, so Harlan will be fully focused on personal achievements.
As for the performance of Sofia Velikaya, the Russian woman simply has to be in the top three.
Archery
In BC 1xBet there is a good option for the victory of the women's national archery team of South Korea. Korean women go through one of the best schools in the world and are distinguished by psychological stability. No wonder they took the team gold at the last eight Olympics.
Odds for another triumph – 2.06
Sport climbing
In the women's category, Janja Garnbreth is considered the unconditional contender for victory. The Slovenian is one head stronger than her opponents, but at the World Cup at the end of June, in the 1/2 finals, she was only marginally ahead of her closest competitor, and in the final she did not break away from Brook Rabotu so much.
At the Olympics, only the Japanese Akiyo Noguchi can impose a fight on Garnbret (odds of 4.94), but she is still lower in class, so the victory of the favorite for odds 1.3 in BC 1xStake looks good.
In 2019, Yanya overcame 74 out of 78 obstacles at the World Cup, winning all 6 stages of the season. This happened for the first time in history.
In addition to sport climbing, the Slovenian is an experienced outdoor climber who has regular practice on difficult routes.
As for the men's starts, there is competition in them. One mistake can strip an athlete of the title. It is more difficult to predict the strongest, but the main struggle should unfold between Adam Ondra (od 3) and Jacob Schubert (4.32). At the extreme stage of the World Cup, Ondra won the qualification, but made an unfortunate mistake at the start of the final track, where Schubert was the most successful.
True, in the overall standings (all-around), Tomoa Narasaki may also be at the top (odds of 2.95). In addition to the fact that the athlete will perform at home, he now has no equal in speed.
Summary
The Olympic Games in Tokyo will host many competitions in various sports. Each athlete will give all his best, because for many it is the most important tournament in his career. Therefore, it will not do without sensations, therefore it is not recommended to load the entire bank on a favorite, especially with a coefficient of 1.1, etc.
It is optimal to allocate about 5% of the deposit for one forecast. The player should only bet on what he knows. Don't forget the importance of event analysis. Also, when choosing a betting option, you do not need to rely solely on the bookmaker's quotes.
