Betting Markets to Watch

The pre-fight odds have Schofield as the moderate favourite heading into the bout. He doesn’t have too much value in the moneyline, so if you think he is going to win you’ll need to look for value elsewhere.

If you are new to markets like the moneyline, method of victory and distance, it is worth brushing up on how boxing betting works before placing your bet.

The method of victory market is one area worth exploring. A decision victory looks the most likely, but Schofield will need to stay disciplined and not let the fight become a series of prolonged exchanges. 

Bahdi’s power could definitely upset his rhythm if Schofield doesn’t hold his ground.

By extension, value may be possible to find in the fight going the distance, especially as neither man has been stopped. A KO/TKO seems unlikely in this bout, as neither has been in the ring for over a year.

Still, Bahdi's power and Schofield's speed don’t mean it’s impossible to think one could happen, and they do both have solid knockout records. 

If you are weighing up those finishes, it is worth understanding the difference between KO and TKO before backing a method of victory.

Our Prediction

Check the latest Schofield vs Bahdi betting odds.

Our prediction is a likely Schofield win, with a decision the most likely outcome.

Looking for a long shot, Bahdi to win by KO/TKO is one that has value. As detailed above, he has the ability to turn a fight on its head with his power, having done so against Sylve.

He was behind on the cards in that fight, but a knockout secured him the victory. This is a scenario that could occur once again on Sunday.
