The national side played well against France in the semi-finals. However, one of the Egyptian players was sent off in the very beginning of extra time and France won 2:1. Egypt haven’t lost a game in regular time in this tournament, though (2 wins, 3 draws). The national side has already repeated their best record in the Olympics and can beat it by winning bronze medals.
Morocco were beaten by Spain in the semi-finals (1:2). The sides were pretty equal. Morocco were even better in xG. The African side has managed to score at least a goal in regular time in each of their 5 games played in the 2024 Olympics. Besides, no game has ended in a draw (3 wins, 2 defeats).
Egypt proved they’re a very strong team, playing against France in the semi-finals. They’re solid in defence. The opponents of the Egyptian side haven’t been able to beat them with an over 1 goal lead in two editions of the Summer Olympics (9 games).
Morocco reached the semi-finals for the first time in their history. They perform well, but it doesn’t alway mean a good result. Morocco have failed to win with an over 1 goal lead in regular time in 6 out of their last 8 official games. The Moroccan side has managed to beat an opponent with at least a 2 goal lead just twice in the last 50 years.
Their last head-to-head game ended with a Moroccan win. However, the sides were leveled (1:1) in regular time. I believe this can happen again.
