Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi have almost no option to win The Best 2020 award that is failed this Thursday (the event begins at 7:00 p.m.) and that, according to the forecasts of Betfair and other betting houses, has as clear favorite, almost as a winner, to Robert Lewandowski, Bayern Munich forward and star of the Germans in their historic season.
Two indicators of the aforementioned bookmaker show the confidence that the Pole is the only possible winner and that, everything that is not him, would be a capital surprise. The first, the fees. Lewandowski's win is paid at just € 1.05 per euro wagered. That is, the benefit is minimal because it is given almost as a safe bet.
Cristiano Ronaldo (€ 11 per euro bet) and Messi (€ 16 per euro bet), are light years away. To make a comparison, according to Betfair forecasts, Messi has almost the same options to win this award as his Barcelona to win the Champions League.
In percentage terms, the differences are also huge. According to Betfair forecasts, Lewandowski has a 58.5% probability of winning The Best 2020 against Cristiano's 37.8 and the negligible 3.6% that Messi has.
Bielsa, with fewer options than Messi
In the award for best coach according to FIFA 2020, he also the Bayern representative leaves with a clear advantage. That Flick, coach of the Bavarians, beat him, is paid with the same fee as Lewandowski, € 1.05 per euro wagered compared to € 10 per euro wagered by Klopp and € 25 per euro wagered by Bielsa. The Argentine coach of Leeds is even less likely than Messi, just 2.91%.
