Our national football teams competing at The Games aren’t considered to be threats to their opponents this weekend according to TAB.
The Olyroos, fresh off scoring a 2-0 win over Argentina, are $9 outsiders against tournament heavyweights Spain ($1.35) when the teams meet on Sunday night, 8:30pm.
It is a similar story for the Matildas who are priced as $6 shots against Sweden ($1.50). Both teams are coming off victories, however, the Swedes knocked off four-time Gold Medallists USA 3-0 in their opening match a few days ago.
With that big win last night, the Olyroos have firmed from $151 to $101 to claim Gold under coach Graham Arnold while a small trim up for the Matildas ($17-$15) followed their triumph over trans-tasman rivals New Zealand.
