MATCH PREVIEW:
Brazil are once again on the cusp of winning successive gold medals in the Olympics as they face Spain in the final of the men’s football tournament on Saturday.
The Selecao side won the gold in Rio 2016 at home and would look to get the double tonight against a very strong Spanish side.
Both sides have been the best performing teams of the tournament and deservedly reached the final.
The Brazilian side won their semi-final against Mexico on penalties after Santos made important saves from Aguirre, and Vasquez in the shootout.
On the other hand, Spain edged out hosts Japan 1-0 in their knockout match as Asensio scored in extra time to break the hearts of Japan.

We are in for a humdinger as two quality sides are up against each other in search of glory.
After winning the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, Spain is yet to register the top prize and would look to make this occasion all about themselves come the end of 90 minutes.
Line-ups
Brazil:
Santos, Arana, Carlos, Nino, Alves, Guimaraes, Luiz, Richarlison, Claudinho, Paulinho and Antony
Spain:
Simon, Cucurella, Torres, Garcia, Gil, Zubimendi, Pedri, Merino, Asensio, Oyarzabal and Olmo
Prediction: Brazil 1-1 Spain (Spain to win on penalties)
It is very difficult to pick the winner as both sides have been exceptional throughout the tournament. If Brazil has the likes of Richarlison, Alves in good form.
Spain has Olmo, Torres and Pedri in their ranks. We expect a pulsating contest, where both sides give it their all.
The Spanish side should take it to penalties and secure the gold.
