Summer Olympics: match prediction Ukraine vs Morocco, July 27, 2024
Will Ukraine secure the win?
The Ukrainian Olympic team led by Ruslan Rotan looks decent. The squad includes many experienced players from UPL teams and other European championships, so they manage to show excellent attacking play, but they were unable to call up all the desired players, and the team was without older stars. The team was already able to perform well at the Toulon tournament, where they won the main trophy without losing once. Despite this, it’s of paramount importance for you to get accurate football predictions on time to be able to make a correct and winning bet.
This form makes the team the favorite of the game, but still they still have to break the resistance of a difficult opponent.
Both teams have already completed the opening match of the Games with a score of 2:1, but there is a nuance: the Moroccans won by one goal and the Ukrainians lost. Both results were considered sensational, and it is difficult to even say which – to a greater extent – was the defeat of the Rotan team from Iraq or the victory of the Africans over Argentina.
Morocco chances
Twelve years have passed since the Moroccan football team’s previous Olympic qualification. At the group stage, that was when it all ended for them. Now, they’ve already beaten Argentina in a scandalous and sensational way a few days ago.
In February 2024, Tariq Sektui began his duties as the head coach. Under him, the Moroccans held three meetings. In the spring, they beat Wales U21 with a score of 2:0 and lost to Ukraine U21 0:1. Only one match was played in the summer. The young Atlas Lions won a 2:2 draw with Belgium U21.
A good half of the leaders of Morocco won’t participate in the Olympics. Among the remaining ones, Hakimi and Ben-Segir are a few top players.
The unbeaten streak of the Olympic team at the official level is six matches, in which it won three victories and drew the same number of times. Both teams have scored within 90 minutes in 5 of Morocco’s previous 6 official matches.
Forecast and bet on the game
It should be noted that at the last four Olympic tournaments, the Moroccans won only one victory in 12 matches. The Ukrainians already have some experience of defeating this opponent (1:0 in March of this year), and the tournament situation aims only at the maximum result. But in this case, any outcome is possible, so the bet is that both will score.
