Spain u23 looking for a top spot finish
Gold Medalists in 1992 and Silver medalists in 2000, Spain are competing in the Olympic games for the fifth time since 1992. They are the second most successful football team in the Olympics after Argentina. Spain’s biggest win in the Olympics was against Libia in 2005 and the worst defeat by Argentina was 4-0 in 1996.
La Rojita had started their campaign in the Olympics with a goalless draw against Egypt in a match where the Spaniards were the better side but couldn’t score despite having ten goal attempts. Spain registered their first win by beating Australia by a single goal in a match where the Spaniards were even more dominant and had 68% of the ball possession.
Spain Key Points
Argentina u23 need to improve against a tough Spain side
The Argentine Football Olympic team is the most successful football team in the Olympics. The Albicelestes have won the Gold medal on two occasions in 2004 and 2008 and two Silver medals in 1928 and 1996. This is Argentina’s ninth appearance in the Olympic games.
Coach Fernando Batista’s team suffered an unexpected defeat in their opening match of the current games losing to Australis 2-0. Argentina’s defense weren’t up to the task as they conceded two goals. The result was better in the second match beating Egypt 1-0 but the performance wasn’t up to the standard that Batista would want his team to be in.
Argentina Key Points
Spain u23 vs Argentina u23 Prediction
It has been a shaky start for both teams despite having some very well-known players in their squads. They showed ineffectiveness in front of the goal in their opening two matches scoring just once.
On paper, Spain are the better team having many players who played in the Euro 2020 recently in their squad. In addition, coach De La Fuente has Asensio and Vallejo of Real Madrid at his disposal and both can be important additions.
Spain are the favorites to win with the bookies. Vbet are offering 1.94 for a Spain win. But we think it won’t be easy for de la Fuente’s team as Argentina need a win to qualify to the quarter-finals. We will back a double chance for our primary prediction.
