SPAIN PREVIEW: STRIVING FOR PERFECTION

COLOMBIA PREVIEW: GETTING BY WITHOUT PERFECTION
sStill under what is the interim management of Angelo Marisglia, the Colombians have propelled themselves through to the last eight of the men’s Olympic tournament with some fine attacking displays that have resulted in two defeats and a win.
In their opening game of the competition, they found themselves 3-0 down to hosts France but rallied to limit the damage to just a 3-2 loss. In their second game, they comfortably defeated New Zealand by two goals to nil before falling to a 1-0 defeat to Canada.
SPAIN VS COLOMBIA PREDICTION
World champions Spain have not had it all their own way in this tournament so far and they have actually had quite a few issues in terms of breaking teams down. What will not be an issue for them in this one is an ability to find the gaps with Colombia likely to continue in their front foot style of football and that may leave openings for the star studded Spanish to counter attack into and the Spanish are the favourites for this one.
