France U23 vs Guinea U23 Betting Tips: France to Win / Over 2.5
The host nation kicked-off their bid for Olympic Gold with an ultimately comfortable 3:0 win against the USA on Wednesday.
After a goalless first-half, Alexander Lacazette´s goal eased the pressure on Thierry Henry´s side, before strikes from Michael Olise and Loïc Badé sealed an impressive victory.
Pre-tournament favourites to claim the top prize this summer, the French can make sure of their place in the final eight with another win on Saturday.
Under the guidance of legendary former striker Thierry Henry, France have enjoyed good results this year, claiming four wins and two draws from six games played. Les Bleues also scored at least three goals in all four matches.
Guinea arrive at the Allianz Riviera having begun their campaign with a disappointing 2:1 defeat against New Zealand on Wednesday. The Africans have now lost four of their last five matches played at U23 level this year.
Now facing potential elimination, Kaba Diawara´s side will surely need to take at least a draw if they are to have any chance of securing qualification for the final eight. However, given the strength of the French squad, and the home advantage enjoyed by Henry´s side, it´s hard to see how the Guineans will get the result they need.
I'm putting my money on France U23 to win, with over 2.5 goals also expected at the Allianz Riviera.
