Olympic Men's Soccer Team: Japan u23 vs Mali u23 2024-7-28 03:00
Race Analysis:
Although Japan didn't bring any overage players with them, the 5-0 Paraguay performance in the first match was still strong, and it was also a big score against a tough opponent like Paraguay. I must say that after the experience of playing in the Europa League, Japan's players are now on a par with the world's best in terms of their overall level and individual skills.
A big win in the first game certainly gave Japan a good start, so this game against Mali will be the best time for them to get out of the tournament early, and a win against Mali will ensure a place in the tournament.
In addition to that, from the media sources, the Japanese team as a whole is very united and maintains a humble mentality. The head coach and the players have said that they have not done enough, and this kind of strength combined with a stable mentality will be one of the keys to victory for the Japanese team.
Mali held Israel to a 1-1 draw in the first leg, a scoreline that was achieved with the fans booing the Israeli team at the stadium. Mali is very similar to the traditional African teams in that they are physically strong but not very disciplined and have average ball movement, while Japan proved against Paraguay that they can withstand the physical toughness of the team, and with the Malian players being generally taller and bigger, the Japanese team's "small and quick" style of play can be utilized even more skilfully.
Comprehensive analysis of the above, I think the Japanese team's performance of this year's state of explosion, and the players of the "hard to solve the ability" is generally strong, the thickness of the replacement is also enough, the support of this game is also more reasonable, so I favor the Japanese team to continue to win.
Personal recommendation: Japan -0.5
