Match Preview
The competition in Group A at the Olympics continues on Saturday, as France and Guinea collide in the second round of matches in the competition. France were listed as the favorites before the start of the Games, and they secured their position at the top of the betting with a dominant success on matchday one against the USA.
Thierry Henry’s side were dominant from start to finish in that fixture, but their deserved goals in the success weren’t added until the second period. Alexandre Lacazette opened the scoring with half an hour remaining, before Michael Olise and Loic Bade added further goals in the final 20 minutes. A second straight win would secure their progression.

They were beaten in their opening match at the Olympics on Wednesday after falling to a late 2-1 defeat against New Zealand.

Guinea will be the massive outsiders in the betting this weekend, as they look to advance through to the next stage of the Olympics on their debut effort at the Games. Their confidence should be relatively high after winning three of their last four internationals.
