Great Britain Women v South Korea Women Olympic hockey betting should produce a good match. This is Pool A action, where Britain kicked off their campaign with a convincing and thoroughly professional 4-0 win over Japan. All of the damage was done inside the first half hour of the match, but the bad news out of the game was that captain Kate Walsh suffered a fractured jaw. She was hit in the face with a Japanese stick during the win and had to spend the night in hospital, receiving jaw surgery The injury may not prevent her from returning to Olympic action, and her situation will be assessed. Walsh is an integral part of the Great Britain Women’s Hockey side, having captained them for the past nine years. Team mate Helen Richardson also suffered an injury during the match, as she took a ball to the knee.
Britain have had their odds trimmed in the outright markets for the Olympic Hockey Women’s Betting and are now trading at 5/1 with online bookmaker Bet365. The front runners are the Netherlands and current Champions Trophy holders Argentina, who beat Great Britain in the final of that tournament earlier in the year. So with Great Britain having a powerful start, they really need to capitalise and build on in in Great Britain Women v South Korean Women hockey betting. There will be a tough game to come against the Netherlands in the group stage, and with South Korea being one of the outsiders, then this match should be all about momentum. There would have been worse times to lose their captain, and hopefully the team can solider on until Walsh returns.
South Korea lost their opening match against China 4-0 so there should be goals in this for Great Britain, who are ranked fourth in the world.
