Ukraine U23
Argentina U23
As part of the Olympic football tournament, a match between the national teams of Ukraine and Argentina will take place in Lyon on Tuesday, July 30. The game is scheduled to start at 5:00 PM Central European Time. The match prediction has been prepared by Dailysports experts.
Ukraine
The Ukrainian team failed in their first game of the current Olympics. Ruslan Rotan's charges unexpectedly lost to Iraq but managed to level the situation in the last match against Morocco.
The Ukrainians showed character and were able to snatch a crucial victory in added time. Notably, the team played half of the second half with ten men after Salyuk was sent off.
Argentina
The Argentinians, one of the main contenders for Olympic gold, were surprisingly defeated in their opening game against Morocco. The scandalous match fired up the Argentine stars, and the game against Iraq set things straight.
The standings in the group after two matches require Mascherano's men to secure three points in the final game, but their opponent will be equally motivated.
