Preview

The final round of group matches in the Olympic men's tournament take place on Wednesday and 15 of the 16 competitors still have a chance of booking a place in the quarter-finals.

Saudi Arabia are the only team to have nothing to play for, which is good news for defending champions Brazil, who should see them off and win Group D. That in turn means Germany and Ivory Coast have an intriguing winners-take-all clash in one of the day's early kick-offs.

However, there look to be two decent betting opportunities in the later games and tournament favourites Spain should be supported to see off Argentina in Group C.

Spain, who include Tottenham new boy Bryan Gil among their number, dominated their last game against Australia. Real Sociedad's Mikel Oyarzabal, part of the squad who reached the semi-finals of Euro 2020, scored the winner and Wednesday's clash could follow a similar story.

They seem destined to enjoy the majority of possession and Argentina may struggle having come through a real battle to see of Egypt last time out.

Hosts Japan are the only team to have won both their opening group games and the hectic nature of the tournament may dictate a few personnel changes.

That would make them vulnerable against France, who equalised three times through Andre-Pierre Gignac against South Africa before Taji Savanier scored a late winner.

Les Bleus can be backed at zero on bet365's Asian handicap at 27-20, which returns slightly more than the 5-4 available for the same punt on their draw-no-bet market.
