Spain face Egypt at the Matmut Atlantique on Tuesday (July 30) in the final round of their 2024 Paris Olympics group-stage campaign. La Roja kicked off their campaign with a 2-1 win over Uzbekistan. Marc Pubill and Real Sociedad man Sergio Gomez got on the scoresheet in either half.
They then beat the Dominican Republic 3-1, with three different players finding the back of the net. Santi Denia's side have secured their passage to the knockouts and need point to guarantee top spot.
Egypt, meanwhile, drew goalless with the Dominican Republic in their opener last week before beating Uzbekistan 1-0, thanks to an Ahmed Nabil Koka strike.
The Pharaohs are second in Group C with four points. They need a point to advance to the quarter-finals, while a win will see them leapfrog the Spaniards at the top of the pile.
Spain vs Egypt Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- This will be the fourth meeting between the two teams, with Spain going undefeated.
- The two sides last faced off in a group-stage clash of the 2020 Olympics, which ended goalless.
- Egypt are one of three teams in the Olympics yet to concede.
- La Roja are without a clean sheet in four games across competitions and have managed one in their last seven.
Spain vs Egypt Prediction
Spain are on a run of back-to-back victories and have lost one of their last nine games across competitions. Despite their defensive struggles recently, La Roja have looked sharp in possession.
Egypt, meanwhile, are undefeated in six games across competitions, winning four. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two teams should see the Spaniards win, albeit narrowly.
Prediction: Spain 2-1 Egypt
