by Steve Ashfield in Men's Olympic Tournament Predictions
Will we see another Spanish football triumph? After their senior side became European champions, their under-23 team now bids to win the Olympic title. In the semi-finals they take on Morocco and the Atlas Lions,
Like their opponents Morocco have won three of their four matches so far in this Olympic tournament. This is their first time in the Olympics since London 2012. Never before have they made it past the group stage in the Olympic Games but that's all changed this time around in France.
Spain have lost one of their four matches, but will be hoping to go one better than they did in Tokyo three years ago when winning the silver medal. The Red Fury also won silver in 2000 and famously won gold when the Games were played in Barcelona.
This should be a fascinating semi-final with the winners up against either hosts France or Egypt in the final. Read on to discover our prediction.

Morocco - Spain: Form Analysis
Spain have played four matches in this Olympic tournament and won three of them. They were drawn into Group C and began with a 2-1 win over Uzbekistan. Another win followed when defeating the Dominican Republic 3-1. As with the first match, it was 1-1 at half-time.
Then came the only defeat so far of their Olympic campaign. The Red Ones were beaten 2-1 by Egypt, who they could yet meet in the final. That meant they only finished second in the group and had to take on Japan in the quarter-finals.
There were few problems for them in that match with a 3-0 win over the Japanese side. Fermin Lopez of Barcelona scored two of their three goals.
Morocco have won all four of their matches so far. They won Group B with victories beginning with a controversial 2-1 win over Argentina. They didn't initially build on that as the Moroccans lost 2-1 to Ukraine with the winner coming in the 98th minute.
They've bounced back well though with a 3-0 win over Iraq (all the goals in the first half) and in the last eight, they beat the USA 4-0, two of the goals being from the penalty spot. We go for over 2.5 goals in this match.

Morocco & Spain Squad Analysis
Spain could well field an unchanged starting line-up for this semi-final against Morocco. They did rest some players for their final group game when losing to Egypt but they returned for the win over Japan in the last eight. That included Pau Cubarsi who had been out due to suspension.
Morocco will be glad to know that Soufiane Rahimi is fit for this match. He's scored in every game so far in this Olympic tournament with five in total. They have no injury problems and are also likely to name an unchanged team for this match.
