SPAIN OUTLOOK: STRIVING FOR PERFECTION

After the scandal surrounding the Spanish Football Federation, several players returned to the Spanish side, led by Montserrat Tome. The world number one left his mark on Group C.

They began a comeback with a 2-1 defeat to the Japanese at the Stade de la Beaujoire in Nantes, before edging out Nigeria with a late winner. In their final match, they comfortably defeated Brazil 2-0.

PREVIEW COLOMBIA: GETTING THROUGH WITHOUT PERFECTION

The Colombians, still under the interim management of Angelo Marisglia, have managed to qualify for the last eight of the men’s Olympic tournament with a series of good attacking performances, which resulted in two defeats and one victory.

In their opening match of the competition they were 3-0 down to hosts France, but recovered to limit the damage to a 3-2 defeat. In their second match they comfortably defeated New Zealand by two goals to nil, before losing 1-0 to Canada.

SPAIN VS COLOMBIA PREDICTION

World champions Spain have not had it their way so far in this tournament and have actually had their fair share of problems breaking teams down. What will not be a problem for them in this match is their ability to find the gaps as Colombia are likely to continue with their front foot style of football and that can create openings for Spain’s stars to counter-attack and the Spanish are the favourites for this match.

SPAIN VS COLOMBIA TIP: SPAIN WINS
