Game: Spain vs Cote d’Ivoire – Saturday, July 31 at 4:00 pm ET
Why Bet on Spain
We have one of the teams with the best players at the club level in the world, Spain. Despite this, and the fact that they classified in the first place of Group C, Spain being a favorite team to take the gold in these Olympic Games, they played a group stage for oblivion, where they had a record of 1 game won and 2 draws, with only 2 goals scored in 3 games.
Spain began its path in these Olympic Games by drawing 0-0 against Egypt, a team that is much inferior to Spain in terms of squad and game. Then he managed to defeat Australia by the minimum 1-0 and finally drew again against Argentina 1-1.
It seems that the players of Spain have a certain overload since most of them come from playing the Euro cup with the senior team.
