Thierry Henry’s boys are favored to win, even though they struggled in the semifinal with Egypt, while Spain was way more impressive against Morocco. It seems that the fact that the Olympics are taking place in France is making bookies think these guys will have an advantage on Friday.

Betting Odds Favoring France to Win Gold
Even before the start of the 2024 Olympics, the French national team was the main favourite to win the gold medal. These guys have been playing very well throughout the tournament, winning almost every game without too much fuss.
However, in the semifinal, they struggled to get past Morocco, winning the game 3:1 after extra time in which one of the opposition players got a red card.
Even in the regular 90 minutes, France was the dominant side, but they struggled to find the net. In fact, for nearly 20 minutes, Morrocco had a 1:0 lead, but then France’s best player Jean Mateta scored the equalizer. He was the one to bring France a 2:1 lead in the extra time. He even assisted Michael Olise for 3:1.
Can Spain Beat Henry’s Men on Their Turf?
Spain’s senior squad won the Euros a month ago; can the Spanish Olympic team win Gold this coming Friday? Odds aren’t in their favor, but Santiago Denia’s men have been playing great soccer since coming to France.
They did lose one of their group stage games – to Egypt – but they bounced back afterward. Spain’s arguably best performance was in the quarterfinal against Japan, which saw them win 3:0, with two goals by Fermin Lopez and one by Abel Ruiz.
They also did very well in the semifinal, where they faced Morocco and were expected to have a difficult job. It wasn’t an easy game, but they did win 2:1 in the end, with goals by Fermin Lopez and Juanlu Sanchez, who scored on an assist by Lopez.
France vs. Spain Prediction
With so much talent in both rosters, the Olympic final is bound to be a real thriller. Both teams will give their utmost on Friday, which is why we wouldn’t be surprised to see the game going to extra time and potentially penalties. In fact, a draw after 90 minutes is our top pick for this match.
