France have been the undisputed best team at the Olympics so far. With Rayan Cherki in midfield cutting teams apart, Michael Olise looking like young Zidane, Loic Bade and Castello Lukeba making sure they still the only nation to still not concede so far and Thierry Henry in the dugout, the gold seems to be well on the way.
The defence has been remarkable. Bade has been the 8th best and most consistent player according to Sofascore at the entire tournament, that is the best ranking for a defender after PSG’s Achraf Hakimi in second. Meanwhile, centre-back partner Lukeba is 13th on that list.
Against Argentina, France struggled when it came to possession. But they still registered the same amount of big chances (2). They also registered just nine less touches in the penalty area with almost 20% less possession. Even when France are being dominated, they know how to get the call up the pitch quickly.
Of course, we aren’t ignoring the fact that Egypt did well in their group, finishing first above Spain with two wins and a draw. But they do not have anywhere near the quality Argentina does on their day. France has passed every test they’ve faced so far, and we think that trend will continue on Monday.
We’re backing France to win this match and for there to be over 2.5 goals scored by both teams combined. Through our bookmakers, you can get odds of 1/1 on Quinnbet. A £10 stake on this bet would return £20.
