The All England Open is arguably the most elite BWF World Tour tournament. The 114th edition of this prestigious event promises to be a thriller, with all the top stars in action. We’ll see Li Shi Feng and An Se-young returning to Birmingham to defend their singles titles. As the curtain raises in Birmingham on Tuesday, we go through the latest odds from bookmaker bet365 and make some informed England Open Badminton predictions.
All England Open Badminton Predictions
At this moment, outright England Open badminton odds are not available. However, there are plenty of individual matchups that can be bet on. Here are our top All England Open badminton predictions for the opening round.
Brian Yang to Beat Kenta Nishimoto
Both Brian Yang and Kenta Nishimoto’s form has been a bit of a roller coaster in recent months. Nishimoto holds a significant ranking advantage, sitting eleven places above Yang. However, his recent results haven’t been convincing. He’s had a string of tough losses and needs to find some inspiration, perhaps by recalling his strong runs in Hong Kong and Denmark, if he wants to claim victory here.
With Yang fresh off a narrow defeat in the Indonesia Masters 2024 final, he’s likely brimming with confidence. His recent victory over Nishimoto at the same tournament in 2023 will also be a source of motivation for the Canadian.
Mia Blichfeldt to Beat Michelle Li
We wrap up our England Open badminton predictions by forecasting the outcome of a match that is likely to fly under the radar of many. That said, the German Open 2024 rematch of Mia Blichfeldt and Michelle Li presents an excellent betting opportunity. On paper, this appears to be an even matchup. If you go through the results, you won’t find much to separate the two players. Blichfeldt, however, gets the nod because of her German Open semifinal victory against Li.
All England Open Badminton Odds
We predicted Brian Yang as the winner against Kenta Nishimoto, but the latest All England Open badminton odds make him an underdog in this tie. Yang comes in at 2.75 to take the spoils, while Nishimoto backers will get only 1.40 times of their investment. This match promises excellent betting returns, so we highly recommend going for Yang, who comes into this with a strong run of form.

Mia Blichfeldt and Mitchell Li, on the other hand, are both favored at 1.83 to win the match. This suggests a closely contested affair, but we have a hunch that Blichfeldt will be able to replicate her German Open success in Birmingham.
※ Current Odds Date & Time: March 11th, 08:30 P.M. (GMT)
The All England Open 2024 will bring six days of top-tier badminton action. From the opening-round matchups, we believe Brian Yang and Mia Blichfeldt will move to the next stage of the competition.
