[Olympic Men's Football] Japan vs Spain - The home team has performed well, and both teams are evenly matched!

Translating their pre-tournament form into an exceptional run of group-stage results, janan proved a class above all of Paraguay, Mali and Israel in Group D and were just one of two sides to prevail in all three group encounters, alongside hosts France.

Yet to finish on the Games podium, fourth-placed rankings at the London 2012 Olympics and their home event - Tokyo 2020 - represent Japan's best results in men's football thus far, but the recent exploits of Oiwa's team suggest that a medal around their necks is not beyond the realm of possibility.
Up until matchday three in Group C, the Spaniards were also on course to surge into the knockout rounds with nine points from an available nine, having seen off the threat of both Uzbekistan and the Dominican Republic before a top-of-the-table slog with Egypt.

However, Santi Denia's men were powerless to quell the brilliance of Ibrahim Adel, who struck either side of the half-time whistle to leave La Roja with a mountain to climb, one which they got halfway up thanks to Samu Omorodion's injury-time strike.

Prediction:  Japan +0.5
