Odds as of July 27 at DraftKings

South Korea vs Honduras Prediction

South Korea will battle for the top spot in Group B with all four teams in the section locked level on three points each.

In first place after beating Romania 4-0 in its second fixture, the South Koreans have a goal difference advantage of plus three over second-placed Honduras.

But the group is going down to the wire with the meeting of Romania and New Zealand offering both the chance of qualification for the last eight, too.

Certainly, a tense and cautious game seems in prospect between South Korea and Honduras.

So the price for a draw with DraftKings looks attractive at a generous +300.

There is also value on offer in the winning margin prop section of the card – with South Korea at +210 to win by one goal and Honduras at a wide +575.

South Korea has advanced past the group stage in three of the last four Olympics.

The draw would leave Honduras more vulnerable to being overtaken by New Zealand or Romania – so they may be slightly more motivated to pinch a win on Matchday 3.

South Korea has advanced past the group stage in three of the last four Olympics.

Meanwhile, Honduras was a semifinalist in 2016 and a quarterfinalist in 2012.

👀 It's all to play for heading into the last group-stage matchday!

However, things started poorly for South Korea in Japan with a narrow 1-0 defeat by New Zealand.

It recovered well – scoring three times in the second-half against a ten-man Romania side to win 4-0.

Honduras also started badly with a 1-0 defeat by Romania. But they hit back, too, recovering from 2-1 down to beat New Zealand 3-2.

That, in conclusion, is a fact which sways things, towards the possibility of a narrow win for Honduras.

Pick: Honduras to Win by 1 Goal Exactly (+575)

Spain vs Argentina Prediction

Spain was the pre-tournament favorite and can clinch the top spot in Group C by defeating third-placed Argentina.

However, even a win for Argentina will not guarantee its last-eight place – with Australia ahead of them in second place on goal difference.

There certainly does not seem to be a high-scoring game in prospect. Both these nations have managed just one goal so far.

At this point, Spain has four points and a goal difference of plus one.

Australia, meanwhile, has three points, with a goal difference of plus one.

Argentina, furthermore, has three points with a minus one goal difference. The bottom nation, Egypt, has one point and a minus one goal difference.

With few goals likely, there is value in the half-time/full-time props section.

At +360, the Draw/Spain option looks attractive.

Spain is the only team at the competition yet to concede a goal.

Alternatively, the Draw/Argentina option at +800 offers a chance to optimize the fact that they are more in need of a victory.

Spain, however, is the only team at the competition yet to concede a goal.

Surprisingly, Spain was firstly held to a goalless draw by Egypt.

Then, subsequently, there came a 1-0 win against Australia thanks to a goal from Euro 2020 star Mikel Oyarzabal.

Argentina, meanwhile, went down 2-0 against Australia. It revived with a 1-0 defeat of the Egyptians with a goal from center-back Facundo Madina.

Pick: Half-time/Full-time Prop – Draw/Spain (+360)

Saudi Arabia vs Brazil Prediction

Richarlison of Brazil made the first big impact at the Games when he scored a hat-trick in the opening game’s 4-2 defeat of Germany.

Saudi Arabia, meanwhile, has conceded five goals thus far.

So there is a chance that Everton forward Richarlison will be among the goals again as his first-placed team seeks to confirm the top spot.

At +370, the prop option for Richarlison to score two or more is enticing.

Besides, Brazil is a wide -550 favorite to win the game. So Richarlison could enjoy some plunder.

The Saudis, furthermore, are bottom of the group after losing both games, albeit in a spirited fashion.

Brazil has four points – with a goalless draw against Ivory Coast having followed the win against the Germans.

Saudia Arabia firstly lost 2-1 against Ivory Coast. Secondly, it was beaten 3-2 by Germany.

Second-placed Ivory Coast also has four points but has a tougher task than the Brazilians when it meets third-placed Germany.

Pick: Richarlison +370 (To Score Two Goals or More)
