Why you should back France
Thierry Henry’s squad was on the brink of being out of gold-medal contention in their previous match, but late goals from Mateta and Michael Olise propelled them to victory. France’s mix of youthful creativity and veteran experience make them a very tough opponent, especially at Parc des Princes in front of home fans.
Les Bleus may be feeling a bit gassed after their last match, but Green is confident they will still have the firepower to find the back of the net. Spain have conceded at least one goal in four of their last five matches, and the expert believes they are “unlikely to keep Olise and Mateta at bay for 90 minutes.” See which team to pick here.
Why you should back Spain
La Roja is the toughest team the French have faced so far in the tournament, and the expert even thinks they have the potential to upset the favorites. Santi Denia’s team is made up of players who spend the regular season playing for some of Spain’s best clubs like Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, so they pack plenty of experience despite being a relatively young team.
The Spanish side has also shown it is a resilient bunch. They rebounded from a 2-1 loss to end the group stage of the tournament to defeating Japan 3-0 in the quarterfinals. Spain also came from behind in the semifinals against Morocco to win 2-1, so they aren’t a team for France to take lightly. See which team to pick here.
