Brazil will be searching for their first ever Olympics Gold medal this weekend, as Ladbrokes publish a new free bets offer and report plenty of money coming in for Mexico at long odds of 5/1 in the final of the London 2012 Olympics men’s football.
Mexico, of course, will take on the pre-tournament favourites Brazil, who have looked rather unstoppable throughout the last couple of weeks, with the brilliance of Neymar epitomising how strong they are compared to the rest of the field.
Now it is time to win one more match and make history, with victory over Mexico on Saturday afternoon. They are the favourites and they are expected to deliver the goods.

The motivation to win this tournament is there too. They have received plenty of criticism from the media back home about not taking things seriously enough and the 3-0 win over South Korea in the semi-final was a good answer to that.
After scoring three goals in every match so far, they are expected to do it in style too. With the attacking talent they have – new Chelsea signing Oscar included – Brazil could do this in their trademark style.
Mexico are not taking part simply to be beaten though. They will believe they have what it takes to beat Brazil and secure the gold medal. After all, every team has a blip at some stage, why not Brazil on Saturday?
So far in the tournament, Mexico have been very strong and they always look like a goal threat. With seven goals in their last two games, they seem to have hit form at just the right time.
They do leave themselves open at the back at times, but hopefully they will approach this game positively, making it a potentially epic encounter. Brazil will only approach it in one way and hopefully Mexico will too.
This gold medal match gets underway from 3pm on Saturday afternoon.
