Of course, both teams want the best. This is especially true for Egypt, who need good capital to face Argentina in their next match. However, for Egypt, this is a formidable challenge.
The reason, Spain brought a strong squad. Several of his players were part of the team that reached the semifinals of Euro 2020 yesterday, such as goalkeeper Unai Simon and striker Dani Olmo.

There is also Pedri, the Barcelona midfielder who won the Euro 2020 Best Young Player award.
Coach Luis will also expect a lot from his three senior players, namely Marco Asensio, Mikel Merino and Dani Ceballos. Victory was also targeted before against Australia in the second match.
Meanwhile, the Egyptian squad is almost entirely filled with players from local clubs. Only one came from an outside club, namely senior defender Ahmed Hegazi, who plays for Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia.
In the last warm-up before the Tokyo Olympics, Spain only drew 1-1 with Japan. However, Spain is considered to be able to go through this first match with satisfactory results.

Spain (4-3-3): Simon; Oscar, Torres, Garcia, Cucurella; Merino, Pedri, Ceballos; Olmo, Mir, Asensio.

Prediction
Egypt can not be completely underestimated. The country that has given birth to players like Mohamed Salah has the potential to surprise.
However, if you look at the composition of the players, Spain seems to be dominating the game. Considered as one of the gold medal candidates, they certainly don’t want to appear embarrassing, especially after their senior team advanced far at Euro 2020 yesterday.
