Egypt's U23 team impressively secured first place in their group after defeating Spain's U23 team. This was an unexpected turn of events, as they started the tournament with a disappointing 0-0 draw against the Dominican Republic. Following their 1-0 victory over Uzbekistan, this will be their second consecutive win, bringing Rogerio Micale's squad closer to their goal of winning their first ever football medal. Egypt qualified for Paris 2024 by finishing as runners-up in the 2023 African U23 Championship. They also reached the quarter-finals at the Tokyo Olympics but lost to Brazil. This time, they once again have the opportunity to make history, and Paraguay is the perfect opponent. Paraguay's U23 team suffered a 0-5 defeat in their opening Olympic match against Japan. However, they showed great resilience by winning 4-2 against Israel and 1-0 against Mali. Thanks to this, Paraguay reached the quarter-finals for the first time since Athens 2004, where they reached the final. Veteran coach Carlos Jara Saguier led the national team to a silver medal at that time, and the 73-year-old coach was appointed to lead the U23 team at the Olympics after two decades. Although they didn't make a big impact on world football, the Paraguay U23 team still deserves respect for their courageous spirit in a difficult group. Predicted lineups : Egypt U23: Alaa; Fayed, Abdelmeguid, Eid, El-Debes; Elneny; Shehata, Kouka; Sayed, Faisal, Adel. Paraguay U23: R. Fernandez; Rivas, De Jesus, Balbuena, Nunez; M. Fernandez, M. Gomez, D. Gomez, Caballero; Enciso, Perez
