Dominican Republic vs Spain Prediction

Dominican Republic were the heavy underdogs against Egypt but held their own in their first game at this level. They were rocked by the news that Junior Firpo was unavailable for the tournament just before the game. Nevertheless, they started brightly against the Pharaohs and even had a goal wrongly ruled out in the opening stages. Los Quisqueyanos were one of four sides not to find the back of the net in their opener despite firing 15 shots at Egypt's goal.

Spain, for their part, were not as dominant as many would have expected in their victory over debutants Uzbekistan. However, victory is all that matters and Santi Denia's side would book their spot in the knockout rounds if they win against another debutant. The Iberians are seeking a fourth final in their last six Olympics and their second gold medal.

We are backing the Spaniards to claim a comfortable victory in addition to a clean sheet.

Prediction: Dominican Republic 0-3 Spain
