Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the 2024 Olympics football match.
Egypt
The side has had solid defence in these Olympic Games. However, they have a bright and creative group of attacking players. They managed to score twice in the game versus Spain in the group stage. Egypt have scored at least 1 goal in regular time in 9 out of their last 10 official games.
Paraguay
Paraguay have conceded a lot of goals compared to the other sides that have reached the quarter-finals. They’ve conceded 7 goals in their last 3 games in the Olympics. In addition to this Paraguay have conceded at least 1 goal in regular time in 8 out of their last 12 official games, missing at least two goals in 7 of these games.
Egypt - Paraguay Prediction
Paraguay tend to focus on attacking actions, forgetting about everything that can happen near their own penalty box. This is why Egypt will have a chance to score, for sure. They have good forwards, after all.
