In the Olympics final, the two main favourites, who were expected to take part in the crucial game, will face each other. France and Spain almost didn’t make any mistakes during the tournament, so now they need to play their best in the last game.
France France had four wins in a row with a total score of 8:0. In the semi-final, Egypt gave them a hard time, but France still won (3:1 after extra time). Jean-Philippe Mateta scored twice, and Michael Olise scored 1 and made 1 assist. It’s worth noting that in 120 minutes against Egypt, the French side allowed only 1.06 xGA near their goal. The coaching staff trust the four defenders, with Castello Lukeba and Loïc Badé being the strong, experienced players in defence.
Spain Spain had some trouble in this tournament only against Egypt (2:1). In the knockout stage they easily beat Japan (3:0) and Morocco (2:1). In these games, midfielder Fermín López scored 3 goals and made 1 assist. Besides López, no other Spanish player really stood out. The Spanish coaching staff have set up a careful system that focuses on counter-attacks.
France - Spain Prediction The loud cheering from the crowd at Parc des Princes will help the French team, but the Spanish players are used to pressure from their club careers. Both teams will probably create very few good chances to score in regular time, no one wants to take risks when the gold medal being at stake.
