Argentina currently top Group B heading into the final round of fixtures but in reality, all four teams have three points on the board and any could still progress into the Quarter-Finals.
The South Americans have the best goal difference in the group following that 3-1 victory over Iraq, while Ukraine did really well to beat Morocco after going a man down in the second half.
We're expecting another close and competitive 90 minutes on Tuesday afternoon as each of the opening four fixtures in Group B have played out.

Ukraine Olympic preview: Kept their medal dreams alive
Ukraine lost their opening group game against Iraq but put in a fantastic effort in their second game against Morocco to keep them in with a chance of progressing into the Quart-Finals.
The Eastern Europeans took the lead in the 22nd minute via midfielder Dmytro Kryskiv and seemed to be in control of the game.
However, centre-back Volodymyr Salyuk gave away a penalty just after the hour mark and was sent off for doing so, and Morocco equalised.
The North Africans now looked like the team that was going to win the game but couldn't carve out a winning goal, instead, Ukraine scored a dramatic winning in the eighth minute of time added on through substitute Ihor Krasnopir.
Predicted lineup: Fesiun (GK), Batahov, Martyniuk, Talovierov, Krupskyi, Kryskiv, Rubchynskyi, Mykhailenko, Braharu, Khlan & Sikan

Argentina Olympic preview: Much-improved against Iraq
The nerves and atmosphere seemed to get to the Argentina players in their first game against Morocco but the South Americans looked more like the team we expected to see when they took on Iraq.
Thiago Almada fired Argentina in front in the 14th minute but Iraq equalised in first-half stoppage-time and the teams went in level at the break.
Argentina always looked like the team that was going to score the next goal and that proved to be the case as Argentinos Juniors striker Luciano Gondou made it 2-1 and Boca Juniors midfielder Ignacio Fernandez scored soon after to wrap up a 3-1 victory.
Predicted lineup: Rulli (GK), Otamendi, García, Di Césare, Soler, Almada, Medina, Fernández, Hezze, Beltrán & Álvarez
