THE PREDICTION
A wonderful gold medal match is in prospect between two teams each boasting world class players within their ranks. Both Spain and Brazil made hard work of their semi-finals with each going to extra time and this may well have a negative impact on this game as the two teams likely show signs of fatigue as the contest wears on. However, whilst there is plenty of attacking quality within the ranks of both sides, Brazil looks to be slightly more stable defensively heading into this gold medal match having not conceded throughout the knockout stage so far. That, alongside the experience of serial trophy winner Dani Alves could make all the difference in this final and in what will no doubt prove a tense affair, the reigning Olympic gold medallists Brazil may narrowly edge victory whether it be in 90 minutes, via extra time or through penalties.
