France vs. USA predictions for Olympic men's soccer expect the host country to prevail against overmatched Americans.
The United States aren't a bad team but France are among the overall favorites in the Olympic field. The Americans are just overmatched and will be scrambling for answers against the likes of Jean-Philippe Mateta and Michael Olise.Group A kicks off with a bang when host nation France square off with the United States in their Olympic men's soccer match today.
Olise scored a phenomenal goal last week in their 1-1 draw with Japan, and the trio of him, Mateta, and Alexandre Lacazette leads a line that will cause issues for many teams in the tournament. That includes the United States, whose center-back partnership of Miles Robinson and Walker Zimmerman has senior USMNT experience.
I expect the United States to make a run in this competition, but it won’t begin here. France have too much talent, with many of their starters in top form, and playing on home soil will be a huge boost as wellZimmerman and Robinson will have their hands full with Mateta, and he’s a terrific value to score. France will set up either in a 4-3-1-2 formation, with Lacazette and Mateta playing in front of Olise, or in a 4-4-2 with Olise wide on the right.
