Tokyo Olympics Soccer: Spain U23 vs Argentina U23 Preview
Argentina and Spain both secured 1-0 wins over Egypt and Australia respectively in their previous Group C match. However, Spain holds a slight upper hand going into the game.
Spain head into this game as favourites and with a robust midfield they can wreak havoc to Argentine’s defence. If Spain manages to win this game, they see themselves qualifying for the quarter-finals for the first time since Sydney 2000, where they finished with a silver medal.
Albeit having a quality squad, Luis de la Fuente couldn’t get the most out of it and will need to deploy nous tactics if they want to qualify for the quarter-finals.
Argentina comes into this fixture on the back of a 1-0 narrow win against Egypt. They have been struggling to score goals and will have to make the most out of their chances against a possession dominating Spain U23 side.
