Spain vs Egypt Prediction Olympic 2024

⚽ Olympic Football Games 2024 Match Preview

⏰ 30 July 2024 - 14:00 GMT +1

🏟 Stadium: Stade de la Beaujoire (Nantes)

Spain, having secured victories in their first two Group C matches at the 2024 Olympics, have already guaranteed their place in the knockout stages. They currently lead the group and will maintain this position if they avoid defeat against underdogs Egypt in their final group game.

Santi Denia's squad, runners-up in Tokyo 2020, entered this tournament as favorites to claim gold for the first time since 1992. Their performances in the opening rounds have justified this status. Scoring early in both matches and finding ways to win in the second half despite conceding equalizers, Spain has demonstrated their ability to secure victories under pressure, reminiscent of their recent Euro 2024 triumph in Berlin.

Egypt, currently second in Group C, has drawn one and won one of their opening matches. Rogério Micale's team is one of three nations yet to concede a goal in the tournament, relying on a solid defensive structure while only scoring once themselves. Their progression is almost certain, barring a defeat to Spain coupled with a significant goal difference swing in favor of the Dominican Republic.

The Pharaohs could secure top spot in Group C with an unlikely victory over Spain. Interestingly, in Tokyo 2020, Spain and Egypt also advanced from Group C as winners and runners-up respectively, suggesting a high likelihood of history repeating itself.
