Why you should back Spain

Spain finished second behind Egypt in Group C, forcing them to face an undefeated Japan team in the quarterfinals of the knockout stage. They had no trouble with the Japanese, cruising to a 3-0 win behind a brace from Lopez. He played a small role during Spain's Euro 2024 victory, and now he is looking to play a key role in securing an Olympic gold medal.

Lopez had four shots on goal against Japan, moving into a tie for the second-most goals (3) in the tournament. Spain undoubtedly have one of the best rosters in the competition, and they made a run to the gold medal match three years ago. This is uncharted territory for Morocco, who have never made it to this stage of the event. See which team to pick here .

Why you should back Morocco

Morocco had never previously qualified for the knockout stage since the event switched to the U23 format, so this is uncharted territory for them. They have looked fantastic though, winning Group B with victories over Argentina and Iraq. Their most impressive showing came against the USMNT in the quarterfinals, as they crushed the Americans in a 4-0 final.

They racked up a whopping nine shots on goal while holding the USA to just one shot on goal. Soufiane Rahimi leads the tournament with five goals and has scored in all four matches. Spain have allowed a goal in three of their four matches, so Rahimi is positioned to find the back of the net again on Monday. See which team to pick here .
