Olympic Games - Men's Soccer - Great Britain vs United Arab Emirates
After a 1-1 draw against Senegal in their first match in this competition, the British team really needs to have a good win today against UAE and I believe they have all the necessary conditions to achieve exactly that. Even though Great Britain might not be a gold medal contender on this competition, they have an interesting roster led by experienced players such as Ryan Giggs, Craig Bellamy or Micah Richards and this should be more than enough to beat a UAE team in a completely terrible spot for today.
UAE is coming from a 1-2 loss against Uruguay, in a match where they played above their expected level, as the books had set a -2 handicap for Uruguay in that game. They showed some potential especially on offense, but they lack tactical discipline and experience at this level, as every player from their squad play in their national league. This lack of experience makes them commit some errors and facing the English crowd on a Sunday match played in Wembley is probably the worst spot they could face today, especially when they aren't used to play at this level of competition and they had just 2 days off to rest between matches.
I believe Great Britain will have a huge edge in terms of tactical discipline, experience and physical condition, especially in the 2nd half, something that should allow the home team to have a comfortable win today. Therefore, I'll take them on the spread today.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on Great Britain (-1) @ -130 / 1.77 on 5Dimes
