Before we get into our Olympics 2024 men’s rugby 7s betting preview, let’s see what bookmakers have to say about the event. Here are the latest odds:
The odds for Olympic Games rugby 7s 2024 have home team France as heavy favorites coming into the tournament. With big names like Antoine Dupont in the side, it’s clear that France are prioritizing a win here. Can they handle the home pressure though?
Discussing the men’s sevens favorites would not be complete without mention of New Zealand. The All Blacks sevens are always a threat, having won more World Series than any other side and nabbing a silver medal last games. Can they continue their form from the second half of the 2023-2024 season?
For an 18 month period, Argentina were nigh on unbeatable. Betting apps for Olympic Games 2024 have them as second equal favorites coming into this tournament, however, as their form dropped off in recent months.
Two-time gold medalists Fiji are looking like absolute steals at 7.00 (6/1) to win a third gold at the Paris Olympics. Their odds of winning Olympic Games 2024 rugby are so long because, in the regular season this year, they’ve only managed one third-place finish.
Rounding out the top five favorites are Ireland, who are a dark horse this year. The men in green came second in the World Series this season, narrowly missing out to Argentina, but they are always ready to fight in rugby.

France is a heavy favorite to win the men’s sevens, but our 7s rugby predictions for Olympic Games 2024 are that the men from Down Under will prevail instead.
The Kiwis finished the 2023-2024 season strong, winning the final two events of the regular season. In recent years they’ve been slow starters, and taken some time to reach their peak across the season. It feels as though they’ve planned this year around the Olympics, and should bring a high level this week.

One European team that we’re high on in our Olympic Games 2024 predictions is Ireland. The nation podiumed four out of seven times during this year’s regular season. With odds of 2.62 (13/8) for them to podium at the Olympics, and with them doing so more than half the time this year, we say that’s a great bet to take.
Add in the fact that Ireland will be playing without pressure on their shoulders, considering they aren’t anywhere close to favorites, and this is one of our top betting tips.
