France vs. Spain Preview

France

We have to say that the Gauls didn’t impress in the semis against Egypt, but they managed to enter the title match anyway. After 1-1 during the regular 90 minutes, France had to go through extra time in which they netted twice, bringing unbelievable joy to their fans in the stands.

The duo that played for Crystal Palace last year, Mateta-Olise, was exceptional in the attack. The first netting twice and earning the man of the match honors. His hit in the 99th minute opened the door to the finals, while Olise only confirmed that.

Egypt was the first team in the tournament to score a goal against the French backline, but on the other side, they were the third unit to whom the Gauls netted three times.

Spain

The Red Fury returned from a deficit at halftime to beat Morocco 2-1. It was a grueling match between two very tough and hard teams, but the Spaniards had more mental power than their rivals, and besides that, Fermin Lopez was the most important player on the field.

He scored an equalizer and made an assist to Juanly Sanchez five minutes before the final whistle, when Spain flipped the result upside down.

It’s interesting that both teams scored in four of Spain’s five games at the Olympic tournament and that all matches ended with at least three goals.

France vs Spain Head to Head

These two teams played once at the Olympic tournament, and that was in Atlanta in 1996. The result in that group stage game was 1-1. As for the most recent meeting between the two nations, it happened in the semis of the latest EURO some month ago, when Spain triumphed 2-1.

France vs. Spain Predictions

France has a rock-solid defense, and on the other hand, we expect Spain to be much more careful in the finals than before. However, this won’t be a low-scoring meeting, and we expect to see a moderate efficiency, meaning two or three goals.

Our verdict: 2 or 3 goals
