Spain Women vs Colombia Women Prediction
Spain came into this tournament as world champions and were one of the favorites to go all the way and win a first gold medal at the Olympics. Incredibly, this is the Iberians' maiden appearance at the Olympics, highlighting how much progress they have made in the last few years.
Colombia, for their part, made it out of the group stage at the third time of asking. They are the underdogs but have the impressive Linda Caicedo in their ranks and as such cannot be written off.
