Friday’s Olympic action offers plenty of opportunities for punters in individual and team sports alike.
Tatjana Schoenmaker will be the main act, as she is the odds-on favourite to take home the 200m breaststroke gold medal, with her final taking place at 3:41 SAST.
However, punters looking for increased risk and potential value should turn their eyes to the football happening later on.
Women’s Soccer: Great Britain v Australia
Great Britain have been one of the most solid teams at the tournament so far and they are clear favourites against Australia, who only scraped through to the quarter-finals despite having Sam Kerr on their books.
Women’s Soccer: Sweden v Japan
Star-studded Sweden began the tournament in clinical fashion with a 3-0 win over the USA and followed up with victories over Australia (4-2) and New Zealand (2-0).
They were in a tough group, but they proved that they are capable of winning comfortably against strong sides and they are likely to repeat the feat against Japan.
Women’s Soccer: Netherlands v USA
The USWNT have looked a shadow of their usual dominant selves at the Olympics so far. They were defensively at sixes and sevens in their 3-0 defeat to Sweden, and although they recovered with a 6-1 win over New Zealand, they were subsequently held to a 0-0 draw by Australia.
With Vivianne Miedema, the star of the tournament so far, leading the charge, the Netherlands are tipped to send the world champions packing.
