Great Britain v South Africa hockey betting should see the host nation powering forward and building upon their strong start. Great Britain should be pretty buoyed up by the pre-tournament form and they way they overpowered Argentina in their opening Olympic match. Great Britain powered their way out to a 4-0 lead over the Argentine’s, and while the South Americans pulled one back, it was nothing more than a consolation. Great Britain may well have a tough fight on their hands to get their hands on a medal, but it was a positive start from them, all the same. Great Britain are trading at 5/1 with online bookmaker Bet365 in the outright winner market for Olympic Hockey Betting, behind Australia, Germany and the Netherlands.
So a great start from the British men in the hockey tournament and they will be favourites to get another win under their belt in Pool A. South Africa were crushed 6-0 by tournament favourites Australia in their first outing and so Britain should be in a position to pounce. Australia will be the main nation that Great Britain will be battling for at the top of the group, but there could be sturdy challenges to come from Spain and Pakistan as well. There are tougher matches to come in the pool stage for Great Britain and they have to be ruthless in situations like this against weaker opponents. Only the top two from six-team pool will progress through to the semi finals of the competition,so there is little margin for error.
