Rally Finland Odds: Can Anyone Challenge the Favorites?

This has been a strange kind of season in the WRC, mostly because we have 2 of the top drivers racing on a part-time basis.

Both Kalle Rovanpera and Sebastian Ogier are only running in selected races, and while both are winning, neither of them are at the top of the championship standings.

My Analysis

There are now just 5 races to come this season, so it is going to be interesting to see how things play out.

Both of the part-time drivers will be starting this weekend in Finland, which is reflected in the current odds.

Let’s take a look at those odds as we try to make some winning predictions for the WRC Secto Rally Finland.

Kalle Rovanpera

If you are looking to wager on a driver in a hot run of form, you need to take a look at Rovanpera this weekend.

He has only raced 5 times this season, but he already has 3 wins, including victories in each of the last 2 rallies.

He will be looking to make it 3 in a row while racing in his home country. He will be looking to make amends for his showing in this race last season, when he was forced to retire.

Furthermore, he did, though, finish 2nd in Finland the year prior, and given his current form, he is a solid bet to land in the top 3, although 3 straight wins seem like a tough ask.

Ott Tanak

He was forced to retire from this race last season, but I think he will bounce back in a big way.

I think it may be worth taking a risk on him to win, but I think a top 3 finish is a safer way to play that could reap dividends.

Sebastian Ogier

Given what he has done in his time with the WRC, you can never count out Ogier, as he is always a good bet, even when he is racing on a part-time basis.

To this point in the season, Ogier has started 5 races and has not finished worse than 2nd in those runs, which includes a pair of wins.

Even though he is part-time this season, Ogier is very much in striking distance of a championship, sitting just 28 points out of first.

He seems like a definite top 3 pick this weekend.

Elfyn Evans

Evans is another driver that still has a shot at winning the WRC Championship this season.

He is currently down in third and within striking distance of the lead, sitting 13 points back of Thierry Neuville on top.
