In the match for the third place of the Olympic tournament, we are waiting for the confrontation between the Egyptian and Mrocco national teams. The match will take place on August 8 at 18:00 Moscow time. Our portal has prepared a forecast for you on the outcome of this game.
Egypt (under 23 years old)
The team has a decent squad by the standards of the African Football Confederation and often goes to the late stages of international tournaments, as happened this time. The squad is made up of players from the local championship, but in this tournament the team easily passed the group stage, after which Paraguay went through to the playoffs in a penalty shootout, and in the semifinals they lost to France in extra time.
Morocco (under 23 years old)
Last time at the Olympics, the Moroccan national team failed to overcome the group stage, but at this Olympic tournament it showed an excellent game and took first place in the group. This team consists mostly of representatives of the African championships, but there are also stars from the French Ligue 1 and the Belgian championship. In the playoffs, the Moroccans defeated the United States, after which they lost to Spain in the semifinals.
Statistics and figures:
- The teams have not crossed paths before.
- Egypt has lost just once in their last five meetings.
- Morocco has won three times in its last five games.
Forecast
Morocco looks to be the favorite in this confrontation, which has a more powerful squad, and is also in good shape right now. Egypt has a good stretch now, and the composition is much weaker. I think the teams here will not please us with goals, but Morocco will win.
