Spain v Brazil Betting Tips [7 August 2021]

Brazil and Spain are set to battle for the top prize in football at Tokyo 2020, each one of them seeking a second gold medal in football in the countries’ history. Brazil are looking to successfully defend after their triumph at home in Rio 2016 while Spain’s only win also came at home, in Barcelona 1992. These two parade some of the most accomplished players and an exciting final is expected. Brazil, with a good mix of youth and experience, have so far registered three outright wins in their five matches here, with three clean sheets, eight goals scored and three conceded. They drew 0-0 with Mexico in the semis before winning 4-1 on post match penalties. In this tournament so far, Brazil haven’t seemed troubled, and haven’t trailed at any point, though they have only scored two or more in two matches. As a result, three of their five matches have yielded under 2.5 goals. Everton forward Richarlison has been the top man for Brazil, with five goals so far and he will be leading the line here again.

Spain are appearing in their fourth final of the Olympic Games and after a good competition they will hope to finish with a bang. Most of the players in the Spain team were part of the senior squad that took part in Euro 2020 and they have experience at the top. They will only hope to beat the fatigue associated with such tournaments, and after beating Japan 1-0 in the semis, they will have the morale heading into this game. The biggest quality in this Spain team is their defence; they haven’t been explosive in attack in most of their games but have been great defensively. Their rear guard has been breached three times in the five matches and just like Brazil, they have three clean sheets in five matches. Apart from the Ivory Coast game, they haven’t conceded more than a goal at this competition. Four of their five matches have produced under 2.5 goals and Spain have scored more than a goal in just one of the five matches here.

Both Brazil and Spain have been great in defence and most of their matches at Tokyo 2020 have produced low scores. We expect a tight game here as the two size out each other and a draw at 90 minutes looks like a good pick. Under 2.5 goals is also possible and a combination of the two can pass as well.
