2020 Summer Olympics handball betting odds and tips
There are twelve teams lining up for the Olympic Games in Tokyo as far as the men’s handball tournament is concerned, with some of the leading handball nations in action and it’s great to see the bookies offering betting odds for the Olympics, with Unibet first to market with their prices.
How Will the Men’s Handball Olympics Work?
The twelve teams are divided into two groups of six, with Group A comprising Norway, France, Germany, Brazil, Spain and Argentina. All of the round robin handball games will take place at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Tokyo, with the leading four teams going through to the quarter final stage.
Similarly, the Group B handball teams will also compete at the same venue, with Denmark, Sweden, Portugal, Japan, Egypt and Bahrain the sides who will hope to go deep in the tournament and the quarter finals will be played on 3 August, with the semi-finals taking place on 5 August and we will then get the final on 7 August along with the bronze medal clash.
Who Are the Betting Favourites for 2020 Handball Olympics?
Denmark are the marginal outright favourites to win the 2020 gold medal for the men’s handball at the summer Olympics, with the Scandinavian side having been crowned champions five years ago and the Danes have a strong pedigree as far as this sport is concerned.
On that occasion, they beat France in the final, with the latter claiming a silver medal and the French are a 5/1 chance this time around, although the bookies also regard Spain and Norway among the betting favourites, with the Olympic handball betting sites making this a wide open tussle.
Denmark have won the last two Handball World Championships and should certainly be regarded as the team to beat, with the Danes having gone unbeaten in both tournaments to claim the titles.
Sweden Could Be a Value Bet to Win Handball Gold
Sweden look big betting odds at 7/1 to win the 2021 Olympic Handball gold medal considering they only narrowly lost to Denmark in the final of the 2021 World Championship, with the Swedes having overcome France at the semi-final stage of proceedings.
Maybe Spain also merit respect when it comes to this Olympic handball tournament considering they were only edged out by Denmark in the semi-finals of the recent World Championship and the bottom line is that things are pretty tight between all the leading sides.
You can place In-Play bets on all the men’s handball matches at the Olympic Games, with a growing number of bookies likely to price up the games where punters will be able to enjoy the live betting odds.
