Cross Country Skiing 9.02. (Otepaa)

[expert]

10 km - Classic Justyna Kowalczyk vs Aino Kaisa Saarinen Justyna Kowalczyk @ Bet365 @ 2.00 IMO good odds for better runner here. Kowalczyk won the last time in Otepaa and has overall better results as Saarinen, but true theyre pretty much the same on 10km distance. But major factor is 300 points diff on this years overall table in favour of Kowalczyk. Surely value here. Vibeke Skofterud vs Petra Majdic Vibeke Skofterud @ Bet365 @ 2.25 Surely a value on Skofterud as shes better on that 10km classical racing, Majdic would surely be fav in sprint discipline, but surely not here. IMO a fifty fifty bet and value on Skofteruds side. results here show just that, Majdic only 15th and 19th here in previous two starts, Skofterud managed 7th place here last year.

Re: Cross Country Skiing 10.02. (Otepaa) 10 km - Classic Klaudia Nystad vs Evi Sachenbacher Evi Sachenbacher @ Bet365 @ 1.66 Backing the favourized runner in this one. Nystad looks to unpredictable and her results warry from warm to cold ones, while Sachenbacher tends to run herslef reguralry to top 10 positions. IMO despite low odds, fav should be backed here. Valentina Shevchenko vs Therese Johaug Therese Johaug @ Bet365 @ 2.10 Another value bet. Despite Russian being far better in overall standings, Norwegian beat her in 3 out of 5 races this season. Surely not too much of an edge for Shevchenko and also Norwegian racer is damn good looking blonde :tongue2, and that gives here my affection... ;)
