Analysis and prediction for the match of the 1st day of the group stage of the 2024 Olympic Games Argentina – Morocco (07/24/2024)
The Euro Cup and the Copa America are over, but some footballers will still have to stay on the international scene. The Olympic Games are starting. On 24 July, Argentina and Morocco will face each other in the first round of the group stage of the tournament. Kick-off is scheduled for 16:00 Moscow time.
Who will be the top scorer at the Olympics?
Julian Alvarez, Eldor Shomurodov or Alexandre Lacazette? Who will shake up the Olympics?
If you compare Argentina’s bid for the Copa America and the Olympics, they are two completely different teams. Of the star players, only Nicolás Otamendi, goalkeeper Jerónimo Rulli and Manchester City striker Julián Álvarez remain.
The core of the Argentine national team is the golden generation. Lionel Messi and Angel Di Maria have won everything they could. Among the youngsters, besides Alvarez, Alejandro Garnacho and Enzo Fernandez are also very promising, but both will not compete at the 2024 Olympic Games. And among the young blue and white footballers there is no one else to highlight.
The Argentine national team’s candidacy for the Olympic Games in France would have been much more interesting if it had not been for the racist scandal that broke out. One of its main characters was the aforementioned Enzo Fernández. The French were offended by the song he sang after winning the Copa América.
The second very important aspect is that the Argentine national team is not led by Lionel Scaloni, who made the main team into an invincible monster. Here, the reins will be held by former Barcelona player Javier Mascherano, who so far has very modest mentoring experience.
The Olympic Games are unpredictable:

I would like to say that Morocco has a more interesting development path. The brilliant performance of this team at the World Championship in Qatar is fresh in my memory. The Atlas Lions became the main sensation of the tournament. They reached the semi-finals and challenged Croatia in the match for third place.
However, there is a logical explanation for the success of the Moroccans in the Qatar championship. What gave them an advantage was that other national teams needed time to adapt to the climatic conditions in Qatar. In addition, the team was affected by an emotional outburst.
After the World Cup in Qatar, the Moroccan national team ceased to impress. They performed unsuccessfully at the African Cup of Nations. The Atlas Lions only made it to the round of 16, where they lost to South Africa (0-2).
More than half of the Moroccan national team’s managers will not be taking part in the Olympics. Among the rest, Ashraf Hakimi and Elisse Ben-Segir stand out. They are already top-class football players, but together they are unlikely to be able to save the national team from defeat in the next match.

You can bet on Argentina to win and a total of under 3.5 goals at bookmakers with a rate of 2.07. The blue and whites won their last three head-to-head encounters. You can’t expect many goals from them in their current form.
Julian Alvarez is the first player capable of achieving a result in the next match. In 36 matches in the last edition of the English Championship, he scored 11 goals and provided nine assists. The striker is only 24 years old, but he has already scored many goals and won many trophies both with the national team and at club level.
Prediction and betting tips for the Argentina – Morocco Olympic match on July 24, 2024
The level of football development in Argentina is significantly higher than in Morocco. Of course, the Olympic team of the blue and white team cannot be compared with the main national team. And even more so after the scandal. However, even among the “lions of the Atlas” the difference is proportional. Hakimi alone cannot stop the attack of such a serious rival as Javier Mascherano’s team.
Tender: Argentina wins and the total is under 3.5 goals at 2.07.
