Brazil and Spain would battle for Olympic gold at the Nissan Stadium this Saturday in what is expected to be a tightly contested encounter. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
This would be the first ever clash between these great footballing nations at the Olympics. Who would be called Olympic champion at the end of 90 minutes ?
Brazilians looking at back-to-back gold
A Brazil team led by Neymar and fueled by the home crowd’s support secured Olympic gold in the 2016 Rio Olympics. A different but talented group of players head into Saturday’s final looking to defend the Brazilian’s crown. They were immaculate in the group stages, finishing atop the group with 7 points. The Brazilians aren’t as free-scoring in the knockouts having managed just one goal in both games against Egypt and Mexico. However, they’ve looked solid at the back, keeping two clean sheets in the quarters and the semis.
Speaking of the talented squad, the Spain Olympic team is full of world-class players. With six players from their side featuring in the just-concluded European Championship, they headed into this tournament with quite the pedigree. With just three wins in five games, they actually haven’t met the high standards set for them. However, they have a chance to be called Olympic champions this weekend amidst the hosts under-par performances. Can they knock the defending champions off their perch?
Brazil vs Spain Prediction: 1-1
As mentioned earlier, we expect a tight encounter this weekend with both sides possessing high-class footballers across the field. We would be sitting in the fences for this one as both sides should take this game to extra time and maybe even penalties.
