Cortina World Cup, Super-G Men 09.02.2021, Favorites & Betting Odds – Alpine Skiing
Can Kriechmayr also keep the competition in check at the World Cup?
The time has come! The season highlight of alpine skiing is finally on the program because the World Ski Championships have been taking place under special security measures since the beginning of this week. The men’s Super-G starts the battle for gold, silver and bronze.
With two victories in a row, the Austrian Vincent Kriechmayr has immortalized himself in the bookmaker’s list, because the fact that he will have a significant say in the award of the podium should be taken for granted.
His toughest competitors are now Mayer and Odermatt, who were recently also twice on the podium. There are also some other well-known outsiders like Caviezel, who will make it to the title fights just in time after recovering from injury.
In any case, we are excited to see whether the same faces on the podium will grin again at the end of the day or whether a surprise man will not make his way to the very front. In any case, one thing is clear: at an Alpine World Ski Championships, nothing is set in stone in advance.
Accordingly, the odds at the World Cup Super-G in Cortina could quickly be turned upside down, because there is no shortage of promising outsiders.
The favourites at the Men’s World Cup Super-G in Cortina on February 9th, 2021
🇦🇹 Vincent Kriechmayr
Position in the Super-G World Cup: 1.
Due to two victories in the last two races, everyone is now expecting the 29-year-old’s first World Cup gold. After winning silver in the Super-G two years ago, it would now finally go down in history with a success.
However, the pressure under which the Upper Austrian has often failed in the past is also correspondingly great. If he went into a race as a top favourite, it was not uncommon for a bitter bankruptcy to follow. Can he finally end this curse?
Three wins from six races
The bottom line is that Kriechmayr’s quality is undisputed and with three wins from the last six competitions, no other runner is as fast as him in this discipline. At the World Cup Super-G in Cortina, betting on the top favourites is certainly a good option. His low odds is certainly justified, but one or the other competitor could still get on his back on Tuesday.
Betting Tips: Odermatt on the podium
Odds:2.50
🇦🇹 Matthias Mayer
Position in the Super-G World Cup: 2nd
In the speed disciplines, the Carinthian has already finished five races in a row on the podium. Like his compatriot Kriechmayr, Mayer is currently in excellent shape. His big plus could now be his “killer instinct”, which had helped him to win many times in the past.
So he became Olympic champion in the Super-G three years ago. So he knows how to win at a major event. At an Alpine World Cup, however, he has never been allowed to climb the podium himself, so it would be time for a triumph.
The last win was a long time ago
However, his last victory in this discipline was dated December 1st, 2019 and was more than a year ago. With only three wins but a total of 17 podium places, Mayer is more likely a candidate for a podium bet. Even if a new prediction of a top result for the 30-year-old is obvious at the World Cup Super-G in Cortina, we are a little more cautious in his case with winning bets.
🇨🇭 Marco Odermatt
Position in the Super-G World Cup: 4th
The young Swiss has recently catapulted himself into the absolute world elite in a hurry and is now preparing to clear away properly in his first major championships. As a five-time junior world champion from 2018, he can be granted the necessary “winning gene” in any case.
Youngster reaches for the stars
With two podium places and a World Cup victory last season, the 23-year-old can refer to a small but fine list of references. In his case, however, the exploding shape curve is of utmost relevance, because Odermatt could soon be one of the greats in the sport.
🇨🇭 Mauro Caviezel
Position in the Super-G World Cup: 3rd
After recovering from an injury, the veteran made it back to the Swiss team just in time. But since he has not yet run a race in the 2021 calendar year, he has a certain “Black Horse” status at the season highlight.
However, his abilities in the fast disciplines are undisputed, because before his injury break he was in the top five 10 times in a row in the Super-G, which makes him the most consistent runner in the field. He was also able to celebrate a win of the season in Val d`Isere in December.
Anything is possible with a comeback
For him, it is now about the first precious metal in his core discipline, because so far it was only enough to get a bronze in the combination at major events. With odds of 13.00, the Swiss are an extremely interesting person for an outsider tip.
Alpine Skiing World Cup Super-G men in Cortina on February 9th, 2021 – an outsider
In a major event, the routine of a runner is usually an essential factor and so we only focus on runners with many years of competition experience with our outsiders. First and foremost, two athletes from the Italian team should be mentioned.
Italians attack
The 36-year-old Christof Innerhofer recently showed with two top-5 placements that he is far from old. Accordingly, the betting providers are also predicting a top result for the South Tyrolean at the World Cup Super-G in Cortina. He won a gold award exactly 10 years ago, so why shouldn’t another follow?
On the way back to the top is also Dominik Paris, who after surviving an injury can already count himself among the closest favourites, at least in the downhill. But we haven’t fully figured him out for the Super-G, because his last results here were hardly convincing.
Franz with outsider chances
After years of waiting, the Austrian Max Franz is finally back on the rise. It was only last weekend that he was able to warmly recommend himself with two top results for an outing at the World Championships, he can now drive freely. We are curious to see whether the 31-year-old can reignite the turbo on Tuesday.
Betting Tips & betting base trend – who will win the men’s Super-G World Cup in Cortina on 02/09/2021?
Can Kriechmayr already plan with his first gold medal for a major event? Statistically, he has to be called the clear favourite, but the competition is hot on his heels. Accordingly, we consider betting on the Austrian at the World Cup Super-G in Cortina to be generally promising, but his quota is anything but lucrative. Alternatively, there are some interesting underdog options.
Key facts – Men’s Alpine Skiing World Cup Super-G in Cortina – Betting Tips
Kriechmayr has won the last two races
Mayer and Odermatt were recently on the podium twice
Caviezel was in the top five-ten times in a row before his injury
From our point of view, a tip on Odermatt at the World Cup Super-G in Cortina could pay off faster than the odds of the best betting providers would have you believe. The factor eight is probably out of proportion to his actual chances because the previous season performances of the “newcomer” can confidently be rated as terrific.
Ultimately, the current state of the day will probably play just as crucial a role as the results so far. Nothing stands in the way of an exciting race at the start of the world championships. Anyone interested can get a lot of important information in advance from our extensive betting guide.
