Egypt Ol. – Paraguay Ol. Predictions and Preview

  • Egypt’s unbeaten run in Group C of the Olympic football tournament has earned them top spot and a place in the quarter-finals. The Pharaohs have reached this stage in three consecutive appearances at this competition, so now they’ll be aiming for a first semi-final since 1964.
  • Under the leadership of Rogério Micale, the team has been involved in close games. Both their wins came by a one-goal margin, and only France and Japan can boast a better defensive record after the group stage. This solidity could play a crucial role in maintaining Egypt’s proud record of not losing a U23 match in regular time since July 2021, when they lost to Brazil in the last Olympics.
  • Fellow South Americans Paraguay also finished second in Group D. After getting beaten 5-0 by Japan on matchday one, Carlos Jara Saguier’s men bounced back to secure back-to-back wins. They are aiming to replicate their remarkable run to the final in Athens in 2004.
  • However, their defense continues to raise questions. They conceded seven goals in the group stage, the most among all teams that progressed to the knockout stages. A 4-1 defeat at the hands of the French U23s just before the tournament highlights their defensive issues. But La Albirroja can take comfort in their impressive scoring record, having netted in 17 of their last 18 U23 matches.
  • Players to watch out for: Ibrahim Adel scored both goals for Egypt in their win over Spain. He picked up the highest rating of the match on Flashscore. Paraguay’s Marcelo Fernández was their matchwinner against Mali on Tuesday. He scored inside five minutes, taking his goal tally to three in his last two matches.
  • Hot stat: Nine of Egypt’s last 11 U23 matches have seen both teams score.
