SP U23 vs AR U23 Dream11 Prediction: Spain U23 will lock horns with Argentina U23 at the Saitama Stadium in the group stage of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Spain U23 come into this game on the back of a 1-0 win over Australia U23 on Sunday. A late second-half goal from Real Sociedad forward Mikel Oyarzabal ensured victory for Spain U23. Argentina U23, on the other hand, beat Egypt U23 1-0 on Sunday. A second-half goal from Lens left-back Facundo Medina sealed the deal for Argentina U23.
Both these sides secured crucial victories in their second respective Group C to give each of them a great chance of knockout qualification. However, with Australia on three points, the loser here is likely to miss, with a draw enough to take Spain through, but possibly eliminate Argentina depending on goal difference. As the stakes are so high, this match is not expected to be loaded with entertainment as neither side risk giving their opponents any space inside their own danger zone. Each of Spain and Argentina’s two group matches so far have seen under few goals scored and regardless of the outcome here, it would be a big surprise if the same outcome wasn’t to occur.
Date: 28 July, Wednesday Time: 3:30 PM (IST) Venue: Saitama Stadium 2002, Saitama

We expect Germany’s greater experience and quality to ultimately pay off for them, but do not envisage victory coming easily. The likes of Gradel and Amad Diallo could cause the Europeans huge difficulties in transition, but providing they maintain their discipline, Kuntz’s side should have enough to get over the line. In our GE U23 vs IC U23 Today Match Prediction odds, we back for a 2-1 win for Germany in this match.
