    Spain’s full national team won the Euro 2024 trophy in July, defeating England in the final.Now, La Roja have the chance to win gold at the Olympics in the men’s tournament.

    Will our AI-powered score predictor back Spain to win gold over France?

    The two teams will meet at the Parc des Princes in the gold medal match. An entire nation will be behind France, giving them a 12th man Spain won’t have supporting them.

    Friday’s gold medal game will be the second straight Olympic final for Spain. In Japan at the 2020 Olympics, Spain claimed silver, losing to Brazil in the final in extra time.

    France reached the final thanks to topping Group A with nine points from three matches. Thierry Henry’s team scored seven goals and conceded zero during the group stage.

    In the quarterfinals, France defeated Argentina 1-0. The semifinals weren’t as straightforward as France conceded a goal for the first time. Still, Les Bleus defeated Egypt 3-1, but needed extra time to do it.

    Spain finished second in Group C, with six points. La Roja ended the group phase one point behind Egypt. Spain weren’t as strong as France defensively, conceding four times. The team still managed to score six goals.

    Santi Denia’s team cruised to a 3-0 win over Japan in the quarterfinals before defeating Morocco 2-1 in the semis.

    France’s Jean-Philippe Mateta is second in the Olympics in goals scored with four. Mateta could start the fixture and overtake goalscoring leader Soufiane Rahimi.

    Spain midfielder Fermin Lopez is also on four goals. He will hope to add to his haul. Lopez was a part of Spain’s Euros win a month ago. He could help bring the gold back home.

    Bayern Munich forward Michael Olise is likely to start in an attacking role for France once more. He helped set up a Mateta goal against Morocco. The former Crystal Palace teammates have combined well at the Olympics.

    Henry has used Olise, Mateta, and Alexandre Lacazette in attack throughout the tournament. The trio should once again play together.

    Goalkeeper Guillaume Restes is just 19 years old, but the Toulouse shot stopper will likely have big clubs across Europe interested in his services after the Games.

    Denia’s Spain team should be unchanged. Former Manchester City defender Eric Garcia should start in the centre of defence. Meanwhile, Abel Ruiz will most likely start in attack. Ruiz has one goal and an assist in four matches at the Olympics.

    Spain should continue to ride the high of the Euros with a win over France in the gold medal match. Our score prediction is for a 1-0 win for Spain in a defensive battle.
