Argentina U23 vs Morocco U23 Predictions

• Morocco have lost three of their last five games to nil.
• Argentina have scored exactly three goals in two of their last four.
• Argentina have four World Cup winners in their squad.

Alvarez to set the stage for La Albiceleste

Argentina are among the favourites to take the gold medal in Paris and they can get their campaign off to a winning start against 10/1 shots Morocco on Wednesday.

La Albiceleste, who last won the top prize when Lionel Messi was a part of the squad and are now coached by two-time gold medal winner Javier Mascherano, have four World Cup winners among their 18-player squad and one of those, Julian Alvarez, could play a key role on Wednesday.

Alvarez scored twice in Argentina’s Copa America triumph earlier this month and found the net 17 times for Manchester City last season. He is arguably the best player participating at the Olympics and should be backed to get on the scoresheet in St Etienne.

Favourites backed to coast to victory

Morocco have a star of their own in Achraf Hakimi, and their squad is not to be sniffed at, but it is lacking in comparison to Argentina’s and their under-23 team have lost three of their last five games and failed to score in each of those defeats.

One of these was a 3-0 loss to Denmark, and Argentina have scored exactly three goals in two of their last four matches, so backing an Argentina win and a 3-0 correct score prediction looks solid.
