SP U23 vs IC U23 Dream11 Team Prediction Tips for Spain vs Ivory Coast Olympics Men Live Score 31 July

SP U23 vs IC U23 Dream11 Prediction: Spain Under-23s go up against Ivory Coast Under-23s in the quarter-final of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics on Saturday at the Miyagi Stadium. Both sides earned five points in the group stages which was enough to see Spain top Group C, while Ivory Coast finished second in Group D.

SP U23 vs IC U23 Dream11 Prediction

Despite Spain winning up as winners of Group C and Ivory Coast runners-up in Group D, both these two sides finished on five points having drawn two and won one of their three games played respectively. Each found goals hard to come by in the group stage, Spain scoring just twice whilst Ivory Coast netted just three times, the lowest number of goals scored by any country in Group D. This suggests that a very tight encounter is in prospect here with goalmouth action reduced to a minimum. Whilst the outcome itself could go either way, under 2.5 goals scored over 90 minutes has to be favoured.

Date: 31 July, Saturday
Time: 1:30 PM (IST)
Venue: Miyagi Stadium, Rifu

Who will win?

Spain have not been high scorers this summer and did not manage more than one goal in a game during the group stages. The Spanish side are expected to dominate possession on Saturday which will limit Ivory Coast’s chances in front of goal and therefore Spain should capitalise on that by keeping a clean sheet. In our SP U23 vs IC U23 Today Match Prediction odds, we back for a 1-0 win for Spain in this match.
