This is nuts! In the Swiss league Xamax turned around a 4-0 aggregate deficit with a 0-4 away win and won on Pens to stay up. They covered a -3 European Handicap at 35.00.
September 21st Men's Soccer Asian Games Kuwait (U23) vs Bahrain (U23)
Kuwait lost 0-9 to Korea. There were several mistakes, such as setting up a narrow back four and not preparing for Korea's side attack, and showing vague signs of maintaining the gap between the second and third lines, allowing Korean players to attack freely without much pressure. However, Kuwait's position is that Korea and Bahrain are completely different opponents. They have to approach from a completely different perspective. Bahrain drew 1-1 with Thailand in the first game. It was good to score first, but they slept too early and played bed soccer to kill time, eventually conceding a tie goal in the injury time of the second half. It is certain that Kuwait, who was beaten by Korea, will play a cautious game, and the key is whether Bahrain's aerial and counterattack will be effective. Bahrain's attacking performance in the Thailand game was not very sharp. I expect a draw. Kuwait's line control miss will not be repeated this time, and their counterattack was quite low-pitched. Bahrain's overwhelming victory does not seem likely.
Kuwait handicap win , 2.5 under
September 21st Men's Soccer Asian Games Thailand (U23) vs South Korea (U23)
Thailand drew 1-1 with Bahrain in the first game. The last-minute goal was great, but the overall game management was hard to pass. First of all, there were many pass misses in the build-up process, and they faced several crises. It would have been a decisive mistake if the opponent was not Bahrain. Korea will set up a tight two-line defense to maximize their scoring suppression ability, but their counterattack was not impressive either. Hwang Sun-hong's team beat Kuwait 9-0 and dispelled the initial worries. Korea is virtually full power in the Asian Games. Lee Kang-in's joining is late, but FW Jo Young-wook, Eom Won-sang, Jeong Woo-young's top three are excellent in speed and space creation ability. The shot sense of MF Baek Seung-ho, who was picked as a wild card, is also worth checking. There is no better option than a long-range shot to break through the tight two-line defense.
South Korea win , South Korea handicap win , 2.5 over
September 21st Men's Soccer Asian Games India (U23) vs Bangladesh (U23)
India lost 1-5 to China and Bangladesh lost 0-1 to Myanmar. The overall power is still unknown. It is a match between teams with rival feelings. India uses three backs, but they are not solid. Their defense collapsed against China's fierce attack. Bangladesh has a problem with their attack. However, their defense is solid, and it is questionable whether India's attack can penetrate Bangladesh. This game is a close match. I expect a 1-1 draw.
Bangladesh handicap win , 2.5 under
September 21st Men's Soccer Asian Games Taiwan (U23) vs Indonesia (U23)
Taiwan lost 0-2 to North Korea. They are one of the lower powers in Asia. Indonesia is a powerhouse in Southeast Asia. They beat Kyrgyzstan 2-0 and had a good start in the Asian Games. However, there is a gap between them and the strongest countries in Asia. Indonesia has a very sharp top two, and Taiwan does not have a proper attack. That is, this game is slightly different in class. Indonesia can score multiple goals against Taiwan, who has been struggling on away appearances. Taiwan may resist by strengthening their defense, but they are unlikely to score even one goal at their current level of attack. Under probability is high and Iran may struggle. I expect 1-0 or 2-0. Iran's victory is the first pick.
Indonesia win , Indonesia handicap win , 2.5 under
September 21st Men's Soccer Asian Games Iran (U23) vs Vietnam (U23)
Iran drew 0-0 with Saudi Arabia. Iran is definitely a powerhouse. Their recent flow is not good, but they are still solid. Their offense and defense balance is good. Vietnam beat Mongolia 4-2 and had a good start in the Asian Games. However, there is a gap between them and the strongest countries in Asia. Iran has not been able to attack properly recently, but they can score multiple goals against Vietnam. Vietnam will strengthen their defense and resist, but they are unlikely to score at all against Iran's solid defense. This game has a high probability of under and Iran may struggle a bit. I expect 1-0 or 2-0. Iran's victory is the first pick.
