Spain U23 vs Egypt U23 Predictions

• Spain have seen both teams score in both of their matches so far
• Two of Spain’s three overage players are attackers
• Egypt haven’t lost at the Paris games and need a point to qualify

More defensive issues for Spain

The group stage of the men’s Olympic football tournament wraps up on Tuesday and the top two in Group C go head-to-head in Bordeaux. Spain have won both games so far, but they take on an Egypt side who have taken four points from their opening matches.

The Spanish have brought an attack-minded squad to the Paris games, with forward Abel Ruiz and attacking midfielder Sergio Gomez two of their three overage players. That’s been clear from their games so far, having scored five times across their two victories.

The Spanish have been a little too open defensively, conceding equalisers in both of their matches so far. After meeting Uzbekistan and the Dominican Republic, this is Spain’s biggest test of the group stage.

Given their defensive issues, both teams to score is the standout bet here. With neither side losing across their opening two games, a point would get both sides over the line. As a result, 1-1 is my correct score prediction.
