Brazil vs Mexico Men’s Soccer Gold Medal Game Odds

Brazil and Mexico will match up against each other in the gold medal game for the 2012 Men’s Olympic soccer tournament. Brazil came in as the favorites to win the gold, and are now just one win away from realizing it.

It has been a tournament of some big surprises though throughout the course of it. Most notably was Spain, who failed to even make it out of group play. It was a shocking result considering that Spain had just won the Euro 2012 cup, and were just behind Brazil on the list of gold medal favorites.

But don’t underestimate Mexico, who defeated a good Japan squad to reach the gold medal game.

Still though, oddsmakers believe that it is Brazil’s gold medal to lose. 2012 Men’s Olympic Soccer betting odds available at Bovada Sportsbook have set Brazil as -375 favorites to win the gold medal. Mexico has been set at +275 on the other side of the line.

For the goal line in this gold medal match, Brazil has been set as a one-goal favorite. To win, they will need at least a two-goal victory. The payout on the goal line is set at -105 for Brazil, and -125 for Mexico, so you can see they are pretty even payouts with the handicap.

For the moneyline, or straight up wager to win the game in the 90 minutes of regulation plus stoppage time only. Here, Brazil is set at -175, while Mexico is way on the other side of the line going off at +475. The betting odds to end in a draw at the end of this period is set at +310.
