[Olympics] Mexico to Advance -130
Senegal have certainly been a massive surprise in London. I don't think many if any expected them to make the QFs and to not have been saddled with a loss. I think Mexico has the edge here with a little better defensive unit. The Senegalese are still prone to making poor tackles, leading to cards and putting themselves into bad positions with free kicks. Konate will obviously be a handful, but the Mexicans have not given up a goal yet in this tournament. The Swiss match gave them some good prep because they faced some big pressure early, absorbed it and eventually wore down the Swiss for a goal late. That's part of the reason I'm going with Mexico to advance & not just to flat out win this match. Not sure they do it in regulation, but I think they have the team to get it done in extra time or PKs.
