Klessen - Rotchev 2 2.00 (nordic) (6/10)

Here is totally wrong favourite in my opinion. Last year Klessen was 13. in sprint cup and Rotchev 15. but this year has already showed that Rotchev is in better form right now. In this year´s only sprint competition Rotchev was 2. after qualification and his final position was 6. Klessen didn´t even make his way to final rounds, because he was 26. in qualification. Rotchev has also skied very well in team sprints, his team has been 5. and 8. Furthermore, this competition is in classic style and Rotchev was 6. and 10. last year in this style sprints (10. and 2. in qualifications), Klessen 12. and 7. (11. and 7.). So I consider Rotchev as a clear favourite, 55% or even more.

Iversen - Larsson 2 2.20 (nordic) (3/10)

Larsson is not maybe best in classic style, but still he was 3. in that style national sprint competition in Sweden couple of weeks ago. He also won the first (and only) sprint competiton this season and he has beed good in team sprints, too. Iversen isn´t bad sprinter either but I don´t see any reason why he should be a clear favourite in this one. Or favourite at all... About 50% for Larsson.

One last minute bet...

Hetland - Lind 2 1.90 (uni) (2/10)

Lind has been very good in classic style sprints. Hetland is better in free style. Lind has also started this season very well
