Prediction of Morocco Olympic vs Spain Olympic
The Spanish Olympic team is playing very well in this year’s tournament. In the quarterfinals, they convincingly defeated the strong opponent, the Japanese Olympic team, with a score of 3-0. Previously, in the group stage, although the Spanish Olympic team only finished second in the group, many people believed that they “intentionally” lost the last match to avoid the bracket with the host, the French Olympic team.
That means, the Spanish Olympic team’s loss to the Egyptian Olympic team in the third round of the group stage could be entirely within the bullfighting team’s calculations. In short, La Rojita is still worthy of being the number 1 candidate for the gold medal in men’s football at the 2024 Olympics.
Although their squad does not have any real big stars, it is a collective with many players ready to create explosive moments. The victory over Olympic Japan in the quarter-finals of the Spanish Olympic Games was created thanks to great long-range shots from outside the penalty area. A smooth collective play, along with the super individual skills of the individuals have always been the strengths of the Spanish Olympic Games at all team levels.
Spain are of course the favorites, but Morocco are certainly not an easy team to beat. In the group stage, Morocco created the first major shock at the Olympics by defeating the Olympic champion Argentina. They also finished the group stage as the top team in Group B. Morocco have called up high-class stars like Achraf Hakimi for this tournament.
In terms of playing style, the Moroccan Olympic team is also a technical team, like the Spanish Olympic team. That is the typical playing style of teams from the North African region. However, the Moroccan Olympic team is superior to the opponent that the Spanish Olympic team just eliminated in the quarterfinals, the Japanese Olympic team, because the Moroccan Olympic team is also physically strong and strong in competition.
In that situation, this will be a problem that the Spanish Olympic team will not easily find a solution to. It is very likely that the two teams will draw in the official 90 minutes.
