Go for Gold! Expert Picks, Odds & Betting Lines for Olympic Soccer MatchDay 1

Featured Sports Betting Odds, Soccer Betting News

In most major soccer tournaments, we see games played on a daily basis, with the individual groups starting on different days.

That is not the case in the Olympics, though, as each game day has a full schedule that features every single team.

 

My Analysis

While that means a lot of soccer, it also means that we have games being played at the same time.

You may need to pick and choose and do a little bit of channel flipping, but it should still be a fun opening day of action, so let’s break it all down.

All Games on Wednesday, July 24.

Argentina -127 vs Morocco +340

The bookies are of the opinion that these two teams will be the ones who move into the knockout stage from this group.

Meeting one another on Matchday 1 is not ideal, as the loser of this one gets to feel some level of pressure.

I think this will be a cagey affair, with Argentina edging it.

Olympic Soccer Pick: Argentina 1-0 Morocco
Draw: +265
^  

Uzbekistan +820 vs Spain -350

Spain won the European Championship with a team that featured several young players, so you know that their U-23 squad will be strong.

This is the perfect opportunity for them to flex their muscles and get rolling.

Olympic Soccer Pick: Uzbekistan 0-3 Spain
Draw: +470
^  

Egypt -450 vs Dominican Republic +920

While it is going to be tough to knock off Spain in this group, Egypt will feel that they are more than equipped to take one of the top two spots.

They can help their cause with a win in the opener.

Olympic Soccer Pick: Egypt 4-1 Dominican Republic
Draw: +590

Guinea -140 vs New Zealand +420

There is a very good chance that both of these teams will be going home after the group stage, but one of them has a chance to get off to a winning start.

I think it might be Guinea who gets it.

Olympic Soccer Pick: Guinea 1-0 New Zealand
Draw: +255
^  

Iraq +350 vs Ukraine -124

If either of these teams is to spring the mid upset in Group B, it is imperative that they get off to a winning start in Matchday 1.

I think it is Ukraine who has the best shot at coming away with the win in what should be a tight affair.

Olympic Soccer Pick: Iraq 0-1 Ukraine
Draw: +250
^  

Japan +106 vs Paraguay +246

This looks to be one of the more evenly matched games of the day, which is no surprise when you consider that this group appears to be the toughest of all to predict.

I think that both teams would be happy with the point.

Olympic Soccer Pick: Japan 1-1 Paraguay
Draw: +250
^  

France -212 vs United States +490

This France team has been built with the sole purpose of winning the gold medal on home soil.

They come into this one carrying all the pressure, and this might be a struggle against a talented US team, but I think the hosts get the win.

Olympic Soccer Pick: France 2-0 United States
Draw: +370
^  

Mali +145 vs Israel +192

As mentioned earlier, Group D is essentially the group of death, as all 4 teams are about as evenly matched as it gets.

A win would be an absolutely huge start for both teams, but I think it will be Mali that gets it.

Olympic Soccer Pick: Mali 2-1 Israel
Draw: +224
