Team news and form guide
Dominican Republic Olympic: Too little , too late?
Dominican Republic can still qualify for the quarterfinal, even though they have earned just one point in their first two games. However, a victory in itself would not be enough to save Ibai Gomez’s troops, as they would also need Spain to defeat Egypt.
Edison Azcona received a straight red in Dominican Republic's 3-1 loss against Spain. He is suspended for this clash.
Predicted lineup: Bosl (GK), Puyol, Lucas, Urbaez, Marizan, Cruz, Morschel, Montes de Oca, Lemaire, Gonzalez & Lorenzo.
