Match Analysis: Ukraine had a man sent off in their last match, but still managed to pull off a stoppage time shutout thanks to their resilience. For a team composed almost entirely of u21 players from the domestic league

For the team, they are already considered to have accomplished the mission of the initial goal of the Olympic Games, but the other three opponents in the same group also have the same 3 points, the entire group out of the form has become confusing, so in this case the Ukrainian team there is no reason not to go to the impact of the group to fight for the line.
Ukraine's current format is that they must win as much as possible, and even if they can't win, they must try to get more goal difference in case of a draw, so that they can take the initiative in the group. The fighting spirit shown by the Ukrainian team in the first two games is likely to make it very difficult for the Argentines.
The Argentinean team caused a furor after losing to Morocco in the first match, but fortunately, the team completed the reversal in the second match against Iraq, which gave Argentinean fans a renewed hope. Against Iraq, manager Mascherano's miraculous substitutions worked wonders, and at the same time unearthed promising players such as Gundu, Efe and Zenon, which played a crucial role in his later lineups.
Although they are tied on 3 points, Argentina will only need a draw to qualify for the knockout stage due to their goal difference. However, if they want to avoid France in the knockout rounds, they will need to win and increase their goal difference, so Argentina's motivation is still high.
In summary, I think both sides in the group stage of the defensive performance is not solid, both games have conceded goals, and both sides currently have to expand the goal difference in terms of demand, so I think the game to play over the figures.
Personal Pick: Over 2.5/3 for the whole game
