The exciting Group B action at the Olympics will come to an end with Argentina playing Ukraine. This match three of the group will be played at the Stade de Lyon stadium in Décines-Charpieu on Tuesday, with the prediction of goals flowing.

All four teams are on three points after two matches, with Argentina top with a better goal difference of plus one. Ukraine are right behind with a GD of zero, having defeated Morocco, who are third. With Morocco playing Iraq, there’s a chance that both Ukraine and Argentina could qualify for the knockouts, or one gets eliminated.

Ukraine bounced back from a 2-1 defeat to Iraq on matchday one to win by the same scoreline against Morocco. That has given them a new lease of life, and their progression is still within grasp. A win will surely see them progress, while a draw will need them to pray that the other match between Morocco and Iraq also ends in a draw.

Argentina started their tournament with a controversial 2-1 loss to Morocco, with VAR controversy and crowd trouble clouding that game. They bounced back in style with a 3-1 win over Iraq, but their progress isn’t yet guaranteed. A draw is enough to qualify for at least second place, while a win will most likely guarantee the top spot. Regardless of the tough situation they find themselves in, Argentina will hope that they can notch a third win across four matches.
