Saturday's men's Olympics football predictions
Olympics hosts France flexed their goalscoring muscle in their opening match in the men's football, cruising to a 3-0 win over the USA, and they can follow up with a comfortable victory over Guinea at the Allianz Riviera.
Thierry Henry's side exploded out of the blocks in the Olympics football on Wednesday with a number of their attacking talents impressing in Marseille.
Skipper Alexandre Lacazette scored and laid on an assist, as did Bayern Munich starlet Michael Olise.
Olise was joined in France's starting line-up by former Crystal Palace teammate Jean-Philippe Mateta in midweek and there are clearly goals in this team.
Prior to the tournament, they reeled off 4-1 and 7-0 friendly wins over Parguay and Dominican Republic and France are worth backing to beat Guinea, who lost their opener to New Zealand, by two goals or more.
Paraguay were expected to compete for top spot in Group D coming into the tournament but a 5-0 defeat to Japan in their opener has understandably dampened enthusiasm.
That said, a 25th-minute red card for Wilder Viera played its part in the mauling and the South Americans were only 1-0 down at the time.
There is attacking quality in Paraguay's ranks in Julio Enciso and Diego Gomez and they are overpriced to bounce back with a win against Israel, who drew 1-1 with Mali in their first contest.
