odds 1.60

The national teams of Egypt and Morocco have never won medals in the Olympic football tournament before, but now one of these teams will definitely reach this milestone.

Egypt U23

The Egyptian national team had an excellent tournament. In the group stage, the team avoided defeats—with a draw against the Dominican Republic (0-0) followed by victories over Uzbekistan (1-0) and Spain (2-1). In the quarterfinals, the African team managed to overcome Paraguay, although the match went to a penalty shootout. In the semifinal match, the Egyptians put up fierce resistance against France, losing only in extra time.

Morocco U23

Morocco started the Olympics with a victory over one of the main favorites, Argentina (2-1). The team then lost to Ukraine (2-1), but in the last group stage match, the Moroccans crushed Iraq (3-0). In the quarterfinals, they had no problems defeating the USA 4-0. In the semifinal against Spain, the African team opened the scoring, but in the second half, they eventually succumbed to the favorites—the match ended 2-1 in favor of Spain.

Prediction

Our expert pick: Both teams have played excellently in the tournament and deserve to compete for the bronze medals. The match will likely be hard-fought, even though Morocco is considered the clear favorite. The Egyptians have not lost in regular time at the Olympics, and the team will surely put up a fight.
