One of the semi-final matches of the men's football tournament at the 2024 Olympic Games will take place on Monday in Marseille, where Morocco will face Spain at the Velodrome stadium. Here is the prediction for this match from the Dailysports team of experts.
Morocco
For the first time in their history, Morocco's national team has reached the knockout stage of the Olympic Games, and they easily overcame their opponent. In the quarter-finals, Morocco faced the USA. The North Africans scored once in the first half and netted three more goals after the break.
During the group stage, Morocco competed against Argentina, Ukraine, and Iraq. In the first round, they sensationally defeated Argentina and surprisingly lost to Ukraine in the second round, despite leading and having a numerical advantage. The crucial victory for the African team came against Iraq in the third round.
Spain
"La Furia Roja," like their semi-final opponent, encountered no difficulties in the quarter-finals. Spain faced Japan, who had convincingly won their group without conceding a single goal. However, the Asians could not withstand the European onslaught and conceded three unanswered goals.
In the group stage, Spain finished second, behind Egypt. In the first two rounds, "La Roja" defeated Uzbekistan (2-1) and the Dominican Republic (3-1). However, in the third round, they conceded twice to Egypt and only managed a consolation goal in the 90th minute.
