Our acca came good at 15/2, marking our second winner of the week, and we’re looking to make it three of the best on Tuesday. Our latest crack at an acca is priced at 4/1.

 

Tuesday’s Olympic football acca

Morocco vs Iraq: Over 2.5 goals

Argentina vs Ukraine: Over 2.5 goals

Uzbekistan to beat Dominican Republic

 

Morocco vs Iraq (Tues 1600 BST)

After stunning Argentina to top Group B early on, Morocco lost to Ukraine over the weekend, creating a situation where all four teams are situated on three points.

As it stands, they’ll progress with La Albiceleste, but we don’t expect them to play for a point.

They’re a very front-foot side with good attacking players. Equally, they’ve looked extremely susceptible to counter-attacks, so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Iraq allow the Moroccans to play their natural game. We think the game will open up and produce goals.

 

Argentina vs Ukraine (Tues 1600 BST)

There have been over 2.5 goals in both Argentina and Ukraine’s matches at the tournament. Argentina’s wealth of attacking talent finally showed its teeth in the 3-1 win against Iraq on Saturday, with Thiago Almada playing a starring role.

Ukraine are in the same situation as Iraq in that drawing this game spells the end of their tournament. They’ll need to be positive and attack at some point, however, that’s a dangerous game as we’ve seen little evidence that they can keep other teams out.

 

Dominican Republic vs Uzbekistan (Tues 1400 BST)

Spain are confirmed as Group C winners but the Dominican Republic, Egypt and Uzbekistan can all still join them in the next round.

The latter gave a good account of themselves against La Roja and despite languishing in fourth place with zero points ahead of matchday three, we feel we’ve seen enough to back them to depart with a win.

The Dominicans did well to hold Egypt to a 0-0 draw in their opening fixture, but they lost their discipline in a 3-1 defeat to Spain in which Edson Azcona saw red.

Uzbekistan’s chief-threat Eldor Shomurodov has looked lively and he looks the likeliest source of goals.
