France Olympics vs USA Olympics: Olympic Football Opening Rounds Prediction Match Details
Host nation France U23 begin their journey in the opening group stage game of Group A when they face the USA on Wednesday at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille. France will hope to kickstart their opening match with a win on their home soil.
France Olympics Preview & Form
France did not qualify for the 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, and 2016 Olympics editions. They qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympic games owing to their status as the tournament host. The team is gearing up for its 13th appearance at the Olympic Games and will be aiming to improve its previous record in the tournament after failing to advance from the group stage of its previous appearance.
So far, France’s men’s football team had a remarkable six-match unbeaten friendly match ahead of the start of the tournament and this should boost their confidence in their home ground.
USA Olympics Preview & Form
The USA’s recent performance should be a major concern for the U.S. Olympic Men’s Soccer Team head coach Marko Mitrović. In their friendly games ahead of the tournament, the USA played seven friendly matches and they recorded three defeats, two draws, and won twice.
The team will be chasing their first-ever Olympics medal having failed to qualify since their participation in the 2008 editions. It is worth noting that the USA has failed to qualify from the group stage in all of their participation since 1972. As a result, they are considered underdogs in the Group A.
