The Olympic soccer tournament has reached the medal stage, and we have a blockbuster game in the Women’s Bronze medal game. Spain will face Germany for a chance at the podium.
Spain looked like one of the teams to beat in their first appearance at the Olympics. They won all their games in the group stage, and in their first knockout game, they dug deep to come back down two and beat Colombia on penalties.
Against Brazil in the Semis, they once again went down early, but despite having the lion’s share of the possession, they could never really get back into the game. Brazil played very directly and exploited the holes in the Spanish defense.
Still, don’t bet against Spain to pick themselves back up and win their first medal. They have incredible attacking talent with midfielder Alexia Putellas, a star, and a multiple-time Balon d’Or winner. They also have Jennifer Hermoso, who is their all-time leading scorer. It is a dangerous and star-studded squad.
Germany are a well-balanced squad who could not get over the hump of the best team in the competition. They looked strong against their group-stage competition and beat an inspired Canada squad.
The States just had their number. It was not a one-sided affair like their earlier game in the tournament. The two sides battled to a draw at the end of regulation, and both teams created chances, but great defending and strong goalkeeping kept things level. Sophia Smith broke the deadlock and scored the winner five minutes into extra time.
Still, Germany has a very well-balanced squad. Their defense is solid, and they have great attack options. They may not head into the contest as favorites, but they’ve shown their ability to stand up to top-end teams and a capacity to grind out wins.

Spain vs. Germany Best Bet
Spain will be the protagonist in this match if their recent form is anything to go by. The Spanish have dominated possession and are a constant goal threat. Putellas is their leading scorer in the tournament and is a big-time player. It would not be a surprise for her to step up for her country and help their quest for history.
Anytime Goal Scorer – Alexia Putellas (+145)
Spain vs. Germany Top Prop
Spain has been scoring in bunches but hasn’t been able to stop themselves from surrendering goals in the knockout round. Germany has been the opposite; they found the back of the net easily in the group stage but have not in the knockouts. Still, they’ve got clinical finishers and have shown themselves as a threat in attack. Both teams to score seems a good prop for a game featuring teams that attack well.
Top Prop: Both Teams to Score (-158)
Spain vs. Germany Prediction
The fact that these two teams could’ve easily been in the Gold medal match proves this tournament’s talent level. Both squads have depth and star power but have had inconsistent tournaments. At times, they’ve looked unbeatable; at others, they have turned in pedestrian performances. It will be a close contest, and I think there will be extra time. It will come down to who has the legs, and La Roja is just a cut above. Spain will bring home their first-ever medal in the competition.
