The Tokyo Olympics 2020 return to the fold with another men's football match this week as Korea Republic U23 lock horns with Honduras U23 this Wednesday. Both teams have blown hot and cold this year and will need to step up in this match.
Korea Republic U23 suffered a shock defeat in their opening game at the Tokyo Olympics. The Koreans bounced back admirably with a 4-0 victory against Romania U23, however, and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Honduras U23 have also been fairly inconsistent at the Olympics and have a point to prove in this match. The Central American outfit can be lethal on its day and will have to work hard in this game.
