Guinea vs New Zealand Prediction & Betting Tips - Men's Olympic Tournament
by Ian John in Men's Olympic Tournament Predictions
Our next prediction for the Olympic Games Football tournament involves two of the event's less well-known teams. Guinea faces New Zealand in Group A, which also includes hosts France and the United States. The Syli National and Kiwis will be both desperate to get three points which could give them a chance of qualifying from what looks like being a tough group.
New Zealand came through Oceania qualifying without a fuss, winning all four games and scoring 23 goals in the process, conceding just one. That sounds impressive, but in truth, the opposition, Papua New Guinea, Fiji (twice), and Vanuatu, was so poor that the results were a formality. A better guide to their level is their warm-up fixture against Uzbekistan, which the Kiwis lost 3-1 last week.
Manager Darren Bazeley, the former Watford winger, has called up midfielder Joe Bell, winger Sarpreet Singh and defender Michael Boxall as his three overage players, with the latter acting as skipper of a squad heavily reliant on younger players from Wellington Phoenix.
In contrast, Guinea have had a very tough route to qualifying for the Olympics. With just three places available to African teams, Guinea missed out by finishing fourth at the u23 AFCON. That did qualify Morlaye Cisse's team for a playoff tie against Asian playoff qualifiers Indonesia. That game was played in May in France with Guinea winning a keenly fought contest 1-0.
However, they stunned the world with a 1-0 win over Argentina in their final warm up game last week. Guinea have selected a trio of midfielders as their overage player including Abdoulaye Toure, Amadou Diawara and former Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita. That experience in midfield could well be key in this opening Group A clash.

Our Guinea vs New Zealand Prediction
Our prediction for the Guinea vs. New Zealand Olympic Group A clash is: Guinea to win 1-0, 2-0 or 3-0.
New Zealand's qualifying record looks awesome, but it came in the Oceania qualifier, where the opposition is extremely poor, especially now Australia play in the Asian qualification tournament. Their first tough game against Uzbekistan saw them lose in the run up to this tournament.
Guinea finished fourth in the AFCON U23 tournament and then beat Indonesia 1-0 to reach the Olympics. They then shocked many with a 1-0 win over a very strong Argentina team. As such, we think Guinea will likely win this game without conceding a goal.
