France - Spain: Form Analysis
France have undoubtedly been the pick of the teams at the 2024 Paris Olympics as they emerged from the group stages with a perfect record of three wins in three matches.
Les Bleus then shut out Argentina 1-0 in the quarter-final but came up against their most difficult test of the tournament in the semis against Egypt, who were moments away from knocking the host nation out of the competition.
However, a late goal by Jean-Philippe Mateta forced the match to extra time and Thierry Henry’s side struck the back of the net twice to guarantee a spot on the podium.
France have only conceded one goal in five matches in this competition!
Meanwhile, Spain got off to a promising start in the competition, beating Uzbekistan 2-1 and the Dominican Republic 3-1 in their first two games before running into the Pharaohs, who beat them 2-1 in the final match of the group.
However, La Roja were excellent in the knockout rounds, as they romped to a 3-0 win over Japan in the quarter-final before coming back from a goal down to send Morocco into the bronze medal matchup with a 2-1 final scoreline.
Santi Denia’s side have scored two or more goals in all but one of their matches at the Games this year and will need that same type of attacking return here if they are to overcome the home side and tournament favourites.

France & Spain Squad Analysis
France will be able to welcome back Manu Kone and Enzo Millot for this final encounter of the Games after the former was forced into suspension for an accumulation of yellows, while the latter saw red post-match against Argentina.
Henry is expected to field a very similar starting 11 to the one we saw against Egypt with skipper Alexandre Lacazette and Michael Olise providing support to their semi-final saviour Jean-Philippe Mateta at the top end of the pitch.
Both sides have no new injury concerns to contend with heading into this blockbuster matchup!
For Spain, Fermin Lopez has been one of the standout performers and is looking to win gold for his country just over a month after he helped La Roja win the European Championship in Germany.
Eric Garcia, who was part of Spain’s silver medal campaign in Tokyo three years ago will have a chance to make a difference here and is likely to partner Bacelona’s Pau Cubarsi in central defence in front of Arnau Tenas between the sticks.
