Why Bet on Japan
The local team, Japan, comes to this match after playing an almost perfect Olympic Games, in which, so far, they have only been defeated once, and it was in their semifinal match against the powerful team Spain.
Japan managed to qualify perfectly in the group stage, with 3 of 3 wins, and applied the same formula in the quarterfinals, defeating New Zealand 4-2 on penalties. But luck lasted until they faced mighty Spain, which, despite having played a magnificent match that ended in overtime, could not withstand the pressure of the Spanish in the last 5 minutes of the game and, they finished falling 0-1.
Why Bet on Mexico
On the other hand, Mexico reached the semifinals of these Olympic Games very inspired. After losing a single game, coincidentally against Japan in the group stage, they managed to beat South Korea 6-3 and arrived with confidence in the match against Brazil.
The semifinal match against Brazil was hotly contested, either team could have scored the winning goal, but the incredible defense played by both teams managed to take the game to penalties. This is where Mexico’s luck completely changed since they managed to score only 1 of the 4 penalties taken, so they ended up being defeated 4-1.
Final Betting Analysis: Mexico vs. Japan
This is a match that we are going to enjoy for the second time in these Olympic Games, but this time with two additional ingredients; the first is that the winner will hang the bronze medal and will add 1 more medal for his country in the global medal table and the second is the revenge of the Mexican team after losing their first game against Japan.
Mexico will try to get rid of the thorn in the semifinal and in the first match against Japan, where they were defeated. At the same time, Japan will seek to strike again and keep the long-awaited bronze medal.
The match will be hotly contested, and it will be one of the most even of the tournament, but our winner token is for Mexico.
