On December 20, Annecy will host the women sprint race as part of the third stage of the Biathlon World Cup. The forecast analyzed the prospects of the overall leader Franziska Preuss. Will the German biathlete be able to show her best side again? Is Justine Brezat-Bouchet ready to give Franziska a worthy competition today?

Command Analysis

Franziska Preuss

Current form

Preuss has prepared well for the season and is showing excellent results right off the bat. The experienced German has won the sprint in Hochfilzen and placed fourth in the same discipline in Kontiolahti. In two stages, Franziska has never finished lower than sixth in individual races. Due to her consistency, she currently leads the overall standings with a 29-point lead over her closest pursuer. Of course, it is worth noting Preuss accurate shooting - 91%. In the sprint, we see a solid 90%. At the same time, she is also among the best in terms of speed on the ski track, and was in the top 5 in two sprints of the season. Thus, in the last sprint race in Hochfilzen, Franziska showed the fourth best result on the move.

Interesting trends, statistics

Preuss finished in the top 4 in two sprint races this season
Taking into account last season, the German biathlete shooting accuracy in the sprint is 90%

Justine Braisaz

Current form

Breza-Bouchet is usually among the best on the ski track. In Kontiolahti and Hochfilzen, she was third in the sprint races. However, the Frenchwoman is still unable to consistently and evenly work on shooting. If in Kontiolahti in the sprint she had two misses and 14th place overall, then in Hochfilzen we see the same two misses and sixth place. The Frenchwoman shooting accuracy at the moment is 76.6%, in the sprint - 80%. Even taking into account the fast pace on the ski track, it is difficult to claim a place in the top three with such not the highest indicators. Moreover, she has had problems with shooting throughout her entire career. In the overall standings, Justine is in 12th place.

Tip and bets

TipPreuss above Breza-Bushe

1.57

At the start of the season, Preuss is distinguished not only by her excellent shooting, but also by her high speed on the ski track. Breza-Buchet looks better than the German in terms of running, but not so much that she can make up for an extra penalty loop with her legs. The Frenchwoman shooting is still uncertain, especially in the standing position; it is unlikely that she will work to zero today, given her modest results in this component. In two sprint races of the season, Franziska finished higher than Justine, which we expect today in Annecy. First of all, we are counting on the stability of the experienced German.

Our forecast is Preuss above Breza-Bushe with odds of 1.57

Betting on the results of the race

In the two sprint races of the season in Kontiolahti and Hochfilzen, the women had a close fight for the first place. The gap between the first and second positions did not exceed even 10 seconds. We can see a decent competition in the peloton now, there is no clear leader, and accordingly, in Annecy, it is unlikely that the winner will have a noticeable advantage.

Bet: winner to second place less than 10 seconds ahead at 1.72
