These are m picks from odds found at expekt:

Riesch-Putzer 1@1.70
Borghi-Simard 2@1.60

and for risk takers

Berntsen-Hargin 1@2.30

Riesch, Simard and Berntsen are much better at slalom, which is an advantage in the combined. Riesch also beat Putzer in the downhill yesterday. Riesch do crash out sometimes, so a small warning there, but if she gets down on her feets, she will beat Putzer easily.

There has only been one combined competition this season:

Rank Name Nation Total time FIS points
1 KOSTELIC Janica CRO 3:27.50
2 ERTL Martina GER 3:30.99
3 RIESCH Maria GER 3:31.58
4 PUTZER Karen ITA 3:33.52
5 MANCUSO Julia USA 3:34.35
6 OESTER Marlies SUI 3:34.51
7 DORFMEISTER Michaela AUT 3:34.55
8 LALIVE Caroline USA 3:35.03
9 LINDELL-VIKARBY Jessica SWE 3:35.35
10 ZAHROBSKA Sarka CZE 3:36.25
11 MOELGG Manuela ITA 3:36.70
12 OBERMOSER Brigitte AUT 3:36.74

15 BORGHI Catherine SUI 3:41.23
16 CECCARELLI Daniela ITA 3:42.36
17 WIRTH Katja AUT 3:42.75


Note that Riesch beat Putzer with almost two seconds. Simard beat Borghi with over 2,5 seconds, and she also beat Borghi at the olympic games.
Berntsen is poor at down hill, but much better than Hargin in slalom, and Hargin has a history of crashing out a lot.
