You Just never know what the year ahead has in store, and that is certainly true regarding the sporting world, however today I am going to be taking a look at what 2020 may just hold for a range of different sports personalities and sports teams in Canada.

It is of course true and fair to say that one of the reasons why sports betting so is prevalent these days, is that many sports bettors are ever eager to put their predictions for the year ahead to the test, and try and profit from those predictions by betting on them.

Predictions on this page have been carried out by Betting.ca which offers Sports betting Canada reviews, tips and strategies.

But as with everything else in life, there is never any knowing whether a sports man or woman is going to do well or any teams are going to do as well as their fans expect, and it is often the case you have to expect the unexpected when it comes to sports predictions.

Today, I will be looking at some of the many sports predictions that many pundits have been offering an opinion on recently, and time will only tell if any of those pundits did hold that magical key to knowing in advance regarding the way the sporting world will be heading in the next twelve months.

There are of course going to be plenty of Canadian sports predictions that fall by the wayside and do not go as planned in the following year, but at the end of the day sport wouldn’t be sport if the favourite to win any games, tournaments or sporting competitions did always go on to win.

Will Bianca Andreescu Be Fit for Shenzhen in 2020?

It is of course the WTA Finals that many fans of the sport of Tennis will be awaiting in 2020, and this year it will be over in Shenzhen that those finals will be held. However, one player that was forced to pull out of the 2019 running of that competition was of course Bianca Andreescu.

However, many pundits and fans of the sport are predicting that she will be back up to full fitness in good time for that event and will be one of the star players taking part in it too.

She will of course need to overcome her injury that did force her to pull out in 2019, and she will also need to qualify for that event too, however it is a foregone conclusion in many people’s minds that she will do both, and could even go on to win that event too with great ease.

Time will of course tell whether she will announce her return to the sport she loves, but if she does there is no doubt she will be eager to qualify, which let’s face it if she continues in her usual excellent form there is every chance in the world that she will do.

Bianca Andreescu is of course the current reigning US Open and Rogers Cup champion and whether you like her or hate her, she has certainly got the raw skill and playing abilities to come out on top and be crowned the WTA Finals champion in 2020.

Stanley Cup Winner in 2020 Predication

It will of course be the National Hockey League team playoff winner that will take the Stanley Cup back home with them, however at this stage there are a handful of teams that do stand a much greater chance of winning the Stanley Cup in 2020 than others.

The one team that is fair to say does have an outstanding chance of success in the Stanley Cup this year is the Boston Bruins, in fact if you ask most people, whether they support that team or not who is most likely to win they will name that team.

However, they do face some stiff competition, for the Washington Capitals will have a very fair and reasonable chance of success too, if they play to their current form moving forward, and many people are of the mind it will be one of those two teams that are destined for success this year.

When it comes to the Stanley Cup, much more so when betting on it, some punters are going to be looking at the teams that are not the top two in the betting, and as such that does of course mean some people are going to be pinning their hopes on placing a winning bet by backing the Tampa Bay Lightning who are on offer at some much higher odds than the two teams named above.

Could Canada Win the FIFA World Cup?

It is of course the FIFA World Cup that every nation will have their eyes on winning once every four years, and there is of course a chance that Canada could win the very next World Cup competition, but it is also very true to say the odds on them doing so are huge and very appealing.

If there is however one thing that any sports better will tell you, bookies are not famed for giving people massive odds on any sporting event, unless they are as confident as humanly possible they are not going to have to payout on those bets.

But there are some people that are currently predicting that Canada could be the very next country to win the World Cup, and whether you think they will do or not, well that is up to you, but the odds being offered on them by most bookies does give you an indication of just what chance Canada has of winning that football competition.

Those odds by the way are huge, with several bookies more than happy to give punters odds of around 2000/1 on Canada winning the next FIFA World Cup, so if you do hear anybody predicting that Canada will win it next, well let’s just say those predictions are highly unlikely to come correct.

But on the other hand, in football anything is possible even anything that may appear to be an impossibility, but with odds of 2000/1 being offered on Canada right now I would rather personally be a bookie than a punter when it comes to just which side of such a bet I would prefer to be on.
