Saudi Arabia U23 vs Brazil U23 prediction, preview, team news and more | Olympics 2021 

Saudi Arabia U23 and Brazil U23 will trade tackles at Saitama Stadium on Wednesday on matchday three of the Tokyo Olympics 2020 men's football tournament.

Saudi Arabia come into the game on the back of a 3-2 defeat to Germany U23 on Sunday. Felix Uduokhai scored a 75th-minute winner for the 10-man Europeans.

That defeat saw Saudi Arabia U23 eliminated from the Olympic Games and they will be keen to bow out with a victory over one of the heavyweights.

Brazil U23 were held to a surprise goalless draw by Ivory Coast U23 on Sunday. That draw meant both sides are tied on four points at the summit, but a victory for the South Americans on Wednesday would guarantee them top spot in Group D.
