USA have the 2020 Women’s Water Polo Olympics odds to retain their title

Without delay, let’s look at the team that all eyes will be focused on at the 2020 Summer Olympics. To begin with, the USA have undoubtedly made a name for themselves as the most successful Olympic team. Up to the present time, they have two gold and two silver medals, and one bronze medal. What’s more, the USA are back-to-back championships thanks to gold medals in London and Rio. Now, they find themselves in the best position to continue their winning streak on Bet365 Sportsbook. All in all, the 2020 Women’s Water Polo Olympics odds foresee a victory for the USA with odds at 1.61.

European Championships Spain look to dominate the Summer Olympics

At this time, the USA will have to be wary of Spain according to the online sportsbook news in Japan. This is because the European Champions stand the best chance to crush their title defending hopes. Furthermore, Spain will be looking to give their all in hopes of finally claiming their first gold medal. This time around, they have promising odds to achieve this according to Bet365 Sportsbook. Consequently, a gold medal is within reach for second-favorites with 2020 Women’s Water Polo Olympics odds at 5.50. Similar to Spain, Russia’s women also have their eyes firmly set on winning their first gold medal in Tokyo. Previously in 2016, they recorded their best Summer Olympics performance after claiming bronze in Rio. Now, they’ll be looking to step up by winning the water polo tournament in Tokyo. However, Russia will have to avoid any potential slip-ups because they have the sixth-highest odds to win at 9.00.

Hosts Japan unlikely to impress in front of home crowd

Until now, Japan are probably still celebrating their first qualification to the Summer Olympics. Without a doubt, there’s no better way to celebrate this than playing at home. Sooner or later, Japan’s celebrations will come to an end. This is because the hosts are currently among the tournament’s longshots to win. As a result, Japan are an unsafe bet with odds to win at 1001.00 on Bet365 Sportsbook. Lastly, all eyes will likely also be on South Africa. On this occasion, they are the first and only African team to participate in the women’s water polo event. However, and similarly to Japan, their celebrations will also likely be cut short soon. At this time, they have the worst odds to win on the online sportsbooks in Japan. Consequently, South Africa pose as a risky bet with 2020 Women’s Water Polo Olympics odds at 2001.00.
