Stats


  • Argentina have won 13 of their last 18 matches (Olympics).
  • Argentina’s Julian Alvarez scored 2 goals at Copa America.
  • Morocco have lost 7 of their last 11 matches (Olympics).
  • Morocco have failed to score in 5 of their last 8 matches (Olympics).

Head to Head


This will be the first game between Argentina and Morocco at the Olympics.

Argentina Form


Argentina failed to get out of the group stage at the 2020 Olympic Games, finishing behind Spain and Egypt in Group C.

Javier Mascherano’s side competed in the CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic tournament, finishing top of Group B that included Paraguay, Chile, Uruguay and Peru.

Argentina came second in the Final Group Stage, draws against Venezuela and Paraguay followed by a 1-0 win against Brazil.

Argentina Team News


Gerónimo Rulli, Nicolás Otamendi and Julián Álvarez are the three overage players.

Morocco Form


Morocco are competing in the first Olympic Games since 2012. They won the CAF U23 Cup of Nations, defeating Egypt 2-1 in the final.

Tarik Sektioui’s side have played one friendly this year, a 1-0 defeat against Ukraine.

Morocco Team News


Ayman El Wafi withdrew after his club Lugano refused to release him, replaced by Bilal El Ouadghiri.

Munir Mohamedi, Achraf Hakimi and Soufiane Rahimi are the three overage players.

Verdict

Argentina have a stronger squad than Julian Alvarez, especially with Man City striker Julian Alvarez up front. I am backing Alvarez to score first in a comfortable victory against Morocco.
