According to the match schedule, U23 France will face U23 Egypt in the men's soccer semi-finals of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
Home team France is having an extremely impressive Olympic season. They are the only team to win all four matches in the tournament so far. In the quarterfinals, coach Thierry Henry's team excellently defeated another championship candidate, U23 Argentina.
Notably, France's defense is showing impressive solidity as it has not yet conceded a goal at this year's Olympics. Meanwhile, their attack also shines with outstanding players such as Mateta, Desire Doue, Michael Olise or Lacazette.
On the other side of the front line, Egypt U23 is an interesting phenomenon at this year's Olympics. Without many stars in the squad, the African representative still excelled in defeating the mighty Spain to lead Group C. After that, coach Rogerio Micale's team defeated U23 Paraguay on penalties in the quarterfinals.
Defense is the fulcrum for Egypt to go far at the 2024 Olympics. However, their strikers have not played really sharp with only 4 goals so far.
With outstanding player quality and diverse playing styles, France is being rated higher than Egypt. The home team will likely win and advance to the final.
