    Egypt Stand in the Way of the hosts in the Men’s Olympic Football Semi-final
    08/05/2024 3360

    We have only four teams remaining in the men’s Olympic football competition and one of those four teams is the host nation.

    The game between France U23 and Egypt U23 will be played on the 5th of August at the Stade de Lyon. The French are the host nation and will have the backing of the crowd while the Egyptians will be hoping to cause an upset and silence the home fans.

    France U23 come into the game having beat Argentina U23 1-0 in the quarterfinals. The only goal of the match was scored in the 5th minute and the French did have opportunities to extend their lead late in the game but failed to take them.

    The victory over Argentina U23 means France U23 have won each of their last 4 fixtures, all of which have been played at the 2024 Olympic Games. There have been wins over United States U23, Guinea U23, and New Zealand U23 in the group stage of the competition.

    The stats show France U23 are undefeated in their last 10 matches in all competitions. They have won 8 of those 10 games and have been excellent defensively, keeping a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches. France U23 have won 5 of their 6 most recent fixtures at the Olympic Games.

    Egypt U23 travel to Lyon on the back of a penalty shootout victory over Paraguay U23 in the quarterfinals. With the score 0-0 at halftime, it was Paraguay U23 who took the lead in the 71st minute but Egypt U23 scored a dramatic equaliser in the 88th minute. The match went to extra time and with no further goals scored, it was Egypt U23 who won 5-4 on penalties.

    The win over Paraguay U23 means Egypt U23 are undefeated in their last 6 fixtures in all competitions. There have been wins over Uzbekistan U23 and Spain U23 at the 2024 Olympics plus Ivory Cost U23 in two friendly matches. Egypt U23 were also held to a 0-0 in the group stage of the 2024 Olympics by Dominican Republic U23.

    Trends show Egypt U23 have seen under 2.5 goals scored in 7 of their last 8 games at the Olympics. They have failed to score more than a single goal in 4 of their 5 most recent matches in the competition.

    Team news and France U23 are likely to go with the same starting XI from the win over Argentina U23. That means Alexandre Lacazette and Jean-Philippe Mateta will start up-front.

    Egypt U23 will also look to make minimal changes to their team from the victory over Paraguay U23. That means Osama Faisal will start up-front with support from Ibrahim Adel and Zizo.

    Both teams come into this match in good form and feeling confident. France U23 and Egypt U23 have been strong defensively, with the teams conceding a total of only 2 goals in their 8 fixtures combined at the Olympics.

    Our algorithm suggests we will see under 1.5 goals scored in this match and we predict it could be the Egyptians who score the only goal to upset the hosts and win 1-0.
