Japan and Sweden Olympic football team face one another in the round three of the group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, August 11th in Rio de Janiero.
Japan Olympic football team show strong attacking football with six goal scoring in two matches but their defense nullified it by allowing seven goals in two round. So the team has only one point gained after two rounds and sit on the third place in the group with 6-7 goal difference. The first round against Nigeria ended with 4-5 loss and the second one was 2-2 draw with Colombia. Japan were the better side in that match and should blame themselves for not taking three points. Now the team should beat Sweden and hope for Colombia losing points against Nigeria.

Sweden haven’t taken part in Olympics since 1992 and failing to impress at the competition so far. The first round of Olympic tournament ended with 2-2 draw against Colombia in quite even match while the second one ended with 0-1 loss but the scoreline should’ve been way worse for the Scandinavians. So far, Sweden appear to be the weakest side of the group and deserve the last place they sit at.
Neither of the teams are in control of their fate and both side will probably go home after this match. However, three points in the match give the winner a chance for the place in the knockout phase. We can expect Japan to play offence as they did in previous matches and it should lead to another high-scoring result for the team.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals.
