The home team is getting closer to the goal of winning the gold medal at this year’s Olympic in Paris. Their next opponent in the semi-final will be Egypt. It’s difficult for the Pharaohs to think about a surprise when France has had an impeccable performance. The balance is clearly leaning towards France in the upcoming match. Here are the analysis and odds for France vs Egypt and instructions for participating in betting at the Olympic in Paris.
France vs Egypt first half odds: Asian handicap (Egypt +0.5), Over/Under (Under 1) France vs Egypt full match odds: Asian handicap (Egypt +1.25), Over/Under (Under 2.75)
France vs Egypt first half odds
To reach the semi-final, both France and Egypt had to go through tough matches. Egypt had to go through over 120 minutes to defeat Paraguay in a penalty shootout. Meanwhile, France also struggled to secure a minimal victory against the star-studded Argentina team.
Playing a match every 3 days has naturally worn out the physical strength of both the France and Egypt teams. Therefore, it’s difficult to expect both teams to play at full strength right from the start. In addition, the importance of a semi-final match will also make both coaches more cautious.
With the Under 1 goal total odds for the first 45 minutes from the bookmakers, the Under option is the advice from the experts. The statistics also support this plan. Specifically, after 4 matches at the Olympic venue, both France and Egypt have not scored more than 1 goal after the first half. In addition, neither team has conceded a goal during this period.
Experts predict that both teams are likely to maintain their solidity. No team wants to take risks in a semi-final match. Therefore, the possibility of the first half ending without any goals being scored is high. In that case, the Under option with France -0.5 handicap odds will be a suitable choice. Statistics also show that Egypt has not lost in the first half handicap odds in the last 4 matches.
Prediction for France vs Egypt odds: Choose Egypt +0.5 HT, Under 1 for the first half.
France vs Egypt full match odds
The handicap odds of -1.25 for the France Olympic team in the upcoming match is almost an insurmountable challenge. Although the home team has had 2 resounding victories against New Zealand and the United States, facing Egypt is a different story. According to the experts, it is highly likely that France will bring home another minimal victory.
When the African football representative possesses a defensive midfield with extremely impressive energy. The pivotal position is entrusted to the familiar name of Mohamed Elneny. The former Arsenal midfielder has also performed very well, leaving very few spaces for opponents in front of the Egyptian defense. This makes it difficult for Egypt’s opponents to approach Hamza’s goal. Therefore, the Under option is a choice not to be overlooked in the upcoming semi-final match.
The French Olympic team will face difficulties in scoring, and naturally, Egypt will also face a similar situation. Although no player under 23 is used for the defense, however, Thierry Henry’s players are the only ones who have not conceded a goal in the last 4 matches. It’s a bit regrettable that an important player, Enzo Millot, will not be able to participate in the upcoming match. The Stuttgart midfielder received a red card in the quarter-final match. However, with a record of 4 goals in 4 matches in this tournament, Eleny and his teammates will find it very difficult to even think about scoring in the upcoming match. Therefore, in the upcoming semi-final match between France and Egypt, the odds are in favor of the under. The bookmakers have set the odds at 2.75 goals. This was also the result in the only previous encounter between the two teams. It was in the quarter-final match of the 1984 Olympics. At that time, France defeated Egypt with a score of 2-0. France vs Egypt odds: Choose Egypt +1.25 FT, Under 2.75 for the whole match.
