Our Hockey prediction

You have been waiting for it, our free prediction will be revealed to you in this part, for the men's Field Hockey event and for that of the women. First of all, we will explain to you how this 2021 Olympic Hockey tournament is taking place, but also detail how the nations qualified for this event.

The format of the Hockey JO 2021 tournament

For women hockey players and hockey players, the operation of the tournament is exactly the same. Twelve teams qualified and won a ticket to participate in the Tokyo Olympics. These teams are first divided into two groups of six teams.

All the teams will meet once and the first four teams of each group will qualify for the quarter-finals of the Olympics.

As in football, points are counted in the same way, that is, 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss. So each team will play 5 matches before we can hope to get to the Quarter-finals.

A match for the third place will take place between the two semi-finalists who lost. The men's tournament will take place from July 25 to August 6, while the women's tournament will take place from July 25 to August 07.

How are the participants qualified?

These are simply the 5 champions of the confederations who qualified directly for the Tokyo Olympics. Japan, meanwhile, received a participation ticket automatically since it is the host country. Knowing that the country was the last winner of the Asian Games in 2018, an additional place was available.

The last seven places for the Tokyo Olympics Hockey tournament were given during the play-offs of the tournament playoffs field hockey. Fourteen teams competed and only half were able to qualify for the Olympics.

Our prognosis for the Men's Golf JO 2021 event

Group A: Japan, Australia, India, Argentina, New Zealand, Spain

Group A of the group stage is made up of very nice teams and will be very contested, here are some details about the teams that form it.

• Japan : first qualified because it is the host country, the Japanese team was not satisfied with this since it won the Asian Games in the final against Pakistan 0-1 and would therefore have qualified in any case, best result in 1932 with a silver medal ;
• Australia : the nation won the Oceania Cup in 2019 and ranks second team in the FIH (International Hockey Federation) ranking, the team won the 2004 Olympics and came in the top 3 for 6 editions in a row, from 1992 to 2012 ;
• India : the former flagship team of this sport has had a much harder time in recent years, we have to go back to 1980 to find a medal for India in Field Hockey. Ranked 5th at the FIH, his last title dates back to 2017 during the Asian Cup ;
• Argentina : winner of the Pan American Games in 2019 thanks to a final victory over Canada 5-2, Argentina is the holder of the title of Olympic Champion in 2016 in Rio, it is clearly the team to follow in this group ;
• New Zealand : it's been a long time since NZ has shone at the highest level, its last Olympic medal was in 1976 in Montreal, where the team won the gold medal. They qualified easily in a play-off against South Korea with a score of 6-2 accumulated over two games ;
• Spain : the nation has already seen itself reach the end of the final stages of the Olympics several times, but has never managed to win a gold medal. Having narrowly qualified for the play-offs against France with a score of 6-5, Spain will have a lot of work to do in this group.

🏒 Our prognosis for the qualifiers of the group?

We think that Argentina will play the first places in this group within its reach, Japan could also qualify with the way. For the two remaining teams, our experts think that Australia will arrive as usual in the final phase of the Olympics, and that Spain could have its chance to arrive in the first 4 teams of the group.

Group B: Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Great Britain, Canada, South Africa

Inevitably, this is still a group where there will be a fierce battle to qualify. Our experts will briefly detail each of these teams and tell you which ones should qualify.

• Belgium : winner of Euro 2019 and n ° 1 FIH, this is clearly the team in good shape of recent years. Arrived in the final during the last games, they lost to Argentina 4-2 and came out with a first medal, silver, in this sport since the bronze in 1920. They will be keen on a revenge ;
• Netherlands : they atomized Pakistan in the second leg during the final of the Play-offs with a score of 6-1, to clinch their qualifying ticket. Although women win more medals, the Orange field hockey team has frequently come out on top at the Olympics ;
• Germany : the team easily qualified against Austria 10-3 on the two play-off matches, the Germans will have their say in this tournament. In the last four editions, they have been two-time Olympic champions and two-time winners of the small final ;
• Great Britain : winner of Malaysia in the play-off, the GB will try to win its third gold medal at the Olympics, the last one dates back to 1988. Lately, the team is struggling to get to the last square, although its last edition participated in 2012 ended with a bronze medal ;
• Canada : the Canadian team was very hot during the play-offs as they came out against Ireland on penalties 5-4. Never in the first roles at the field hockey Olympics, the team is going to have a hard time in this group of death ;
• South Africa : winner of the African Qualifiers in 2019, the team ranked 14th in the FIH ranking, South Africa is back after its absence at the 2016 Olympics in Rio. At the moment, they have never qualified for the final stages of the Olympics!

🏒 Our prognosis for the qualifiers of the group?

Clearly, our experts think that Belgium will win its qualification for the final phase quite easily, as it is the best current team.

Then, we think that the experience of the Netherlands and their last courses will allow them to win a place in the top 4, just like Germany. We think that the surprise team for the last qualifying place could be Canada!

Our final prognosis for the Men's Hockey Olympic gold medal 2021

Our experts have analyzed these teams a lot during the last competitions. We think that Belgium and Argentina are the most armed to reach the final of the Olympic Games, although the Netherlands and Australia could also have their say. Whatever the outcome of the semi-finals, our experts have identified a potential gold medal winner on whom we will bet.

🏒 Our prognosis?

🏆 Belgium will win the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics , for the first time in its history. This is the opportune moment because the team is clearly on top of its form, currently n ° 1 in the world, they have a big revenge to take against Argentina and should not miss this opportunity to make history in the country.

Our prognosis for the Women's Olympic Hockey event 2021

Group A: Netherlands, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, India, South Africa

For women, Group A is made up of very high-level teams, in which it will be difficult to separate to get a qualifying place in the final phase. Here is our analysis on each team.

• Netherlands : it is clearly the best team in the world in women's field Hockey, ranked 1st in the FIH, three times Olympic gold medal, 14 times world champions and 14 times European champions, the team logically qualified thanks to its victory at the European Championships of 2019 ;
• Germany : qualified during the play-offs, Germany came third at the last Olympic Games. The team has an Olympic title in 2004 in Athens, it is a team to follow ;
• Great Britain : also qualified during the play-offs, Great Britain is the title holder at the Olympics, thanks to its victory against the Netherlands in 2016 in Rio (on penalties 2-0), the girls will want to repeat this performance ;
• Ireland : the team has never won an international title unfortunately, despite a nice second place in the 2018 World Cup. The nation is participating in its first Women's Olympic Hockey Games ;
• India : this team has nothing to do with the belle époque of men in the 80s. Although she won an Asian Cup and in 2017, she hardly qualified for the Olympics during the play-offs. It will be very difficult for India to get out of this very difficult group ;
• South Africa : winner of the African Qualifiers in 2019, the women's team managed to qualify 4 times for the Olympics. His best ranking was 9th in 2004. Unfortunately, the quality of the staff is quite limited to compete with the cadors of the group.

🏒 Our prognosis for the qualifiers of the group?

According to our experts, the logical qualifiers who will reach the first four places should be quite logically the Netherlands, Germany, Great Britain. For the last remaining place, we think that South Africa could finally get out of these groups at the Olympics and get a great performance, they have the level to be able to defeat Ireland and India!

Group B: Japan, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, Spain, China

This is surely the most difficult group to predict for our experts, men and women combined. We will try to see more clearly by detailing a little these 6 teams that make up Group B of the women's hockey competition.

• Japan : automatically qualified host country, the Japanese team has participated 3 times in the Field Hockey Olympics with a better result in 2004 thanks to their 8th place. It's been a few years since the team won a single trophy ;
• Argentina : winner of the Pan American Games in 2019, the women's team of Argentina has a very high level, as among the men. Ranked second in the FIHF ranking, finalist of the Olympics in 2012, this will be the team to follow in this group ;
• Australia : qualified during the play-offs, Australia is struggling to return to its level displayed in the 2000s where the girls had won 3 gold medals. All the same ranked 3rd FIHF, the team will be keen to finally arrive in the last square, after three 5th places in a row at the Olympics
• New Zealand : the women's team won the 2019 Oceania Cup to get their ticket to Tokyo. In recent years, the team is used to failing at the foot of the medals, since NZ finished 4th and lost in the small finals of 2016 and 2012. Revenge will be on their minds ;
• Spain : despite a victory at the Olympics in 1992, the Spanish team does not make it to the Olympics and are too often absent during the big meetings. An 8th place at the RIO Olympics in 2016 and not qualified in 2012, we find it difficult to believe that the team will manage to do well in this group so difficult.
• China : last team qualified for the Olympics thanks to a victory during the Olympic play-offs, China is often present during the Asian Games and the Asian Cup, the Olympics have never happened to them, except for a silver medal in 2008!

🏒 Our prognosis for the qualifiers of the group?

We think this group will be dominated by a few teams. Argentina and Australia show a much higher level than all the other nations in the group and could qualify quite easily for the final stages.

New Zealand could be the 3rd qualifier in this group given the feeling of revenge that must accompany the players. Then, we think that Japan could have a chance to qualify against China and Spain!

Our final prognosis for the Men's Hockey Olympic gold medal 2021

By analyzing all these teams, the different team compositions as well as the performances and the form of the players, we were able to draw a fairly clear conclusion to determine the nation that will win the Women's Hockey Olympics. You will finally discover the prono of our experts!

🏒 Our prognosis?

🏆 The Netherlands wins the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics , after its confidence boost thanks to its victory at Euro 2019, the Netherlands women's team will be keen to take revenge on the Rio Olympics and regain the title they had kept since the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. We think that the team has all the abilities to win the women's Olympics, so we will bet on it!
