Argentina – Morocco (both teams to score) 2.05

FAQ: Olimpia.

Justification: Argentina currently lacks top talents in their defensive line, unlike in 2004 (Caballero, Ayala, Burdisso, Coloccini, Heinze, etc.) or 2008 (Fazio, Garay, Zabaleta, Gago, Mascherano, etc.) when they won Olympic gold. They had to bring in some burnt-out players for the three possible “overage” spots, such as Rulli (keeper) and the 36-year-old Otamendi (center back), who no longer represent high quality internationally. This makes Argentina vulnerable even with them. Especially against Morocco, filled with potent attacking players like Ben Seghir (attacking midfielder, Monaco), El Khannouss (attacking midfielder, Genk), Akhomach (winger, Villarreal), and Ezzalzouli (winger, Betis)! Traditionally, Morocco does well against technical, Latin-style teams, as seen in the 2022 World Cup playoff eliminating Spain and Portugal! So, it wouldn’t be surprising if they at least score today. On the other side, there are J. Alvarez (Manchester City), Almada (Atlanta), Echeverri (soon Manchester City), and Beltran (Fiorentina), ensuring goal-scoring. GG and over!

Result: Morocco achieved a heroic 2-1 victory => the tip WON!
