Germany - Spain: Form Analysis
Germany managed to reach the semi-final of the competition after pulling off probably the most thrilling victory at the Games this year, beating host nation France with a last-minute goal and save in overtime in the quarter-final.
That followed wins over Sweden, Japan, Spain and Slovenia, while their only defeat in the tournament came in their third group-stage match against Croatia 31-26. That was also the only match the side failed to score 30 goals in during the group stage.
With those results, Germany now have a record of eight wins and two losses in their last 10 matches in all competitions.

Earlier in the competition, Hispanos beat Slovenia, Japan and Croatia while suffering defeats to Sweden in match two and against their upcoming opponents, as mentioned above.
