Guinea and the US are set to lock horns today in the final round of the group stage at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The match will kick off at 06:00 p.m. GMT+1 at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.
The stakes are high for the Americans, as a victory would secure their place in the knockout stage for the first time since the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
The US team comes into this match with a strong performance against New Zealand, where they won 4-1. This victory marked the biggest margin of victory in the history of the US Olympic men’s football tournament, with four different players finding the net.
Meanwhile, Guinea is recovering from a narrow 1-0 defeat against host nation France. Despite the loss, the team has shown resilience and competitive spirit. With 12 shots on target and 47% possession against France, Guinea proved they are a worthy opponent.
According to prediction websites, the US is favored to win the game.
The standout player for the US in their recent victory was 20-year-old Paxton Aaronson, who scored his first goal of the tournament and was key in creating opportunities.
However, the team is facing uncertainty with Gianluca Busio’s injury. Busio, who scored his first goal of the tournament but had to leave the match early, is a key player for the squad.
