Ferreira won the WSL in 2019 and was in a good spot to defend his title in 2020 before the season was canceled due to COVID-19. However, he did win the gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics showing he’s still at the top of his game. His biggest strength is consistency, not placing outside of the top 10 in any event during the 2021 season. This should help him be in contention throughout the season.
If anybody is going to beat the Brazilian, it’s John John Florence, at least according to the top sports betting sites. Florence won the WSL Championship in both 2016 and 2017 but has been dealing with injuries that have prevented him from competing at the highest level as of late. He’s one of the top talents but has been unpredictable in the last few years, he’s a high-risk, high-reward type of bet.
