The knockout stage of the men’s Olympic soccer competition gets underway later this week, as teams look to book their spots in the semi-final stage. Two nations that will have dark horse chances of winning the gold medal will collide in Marseille, as Egypt and Paraguay lock horns.
Before Betting On Egypt vs Paraguay
Two sides that have already defied expectations at the Olympics this summer to reach the knockout stage will be looking to maintain their momentum in the quarterfinal stage on Friday. Egypt will likely be the narrow favorites after finishing top of a competitive Group C, which also included Spain.
The African nation won two of their three matches in the opening round, but they will likely need to be more fluid in the final third as the tournament progresses after netting just three times in the group stage. But, their matchday three win against Spain highlights that they shouldn’t be taken lightly.
Paraguay have also defied expectations to reach the knockout stage at the Olympics this summer. They finished second in Group D, despite suffering a humbling loss against Japan on matchday one of the tournament.
Since that defeat, the nation have netted five goals in their last two matches, and their place in the knockout round was assured following a narrow 1-0 success over Mali at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday evening.
