Brazil's blend of young and old will get the gold

Brazil and Spain's Olympic sides will meet in the gold medal match of the Tokyo games on Saturday evening. Neither team has had a straightforward path to the contest, with the lottery of penalties against Mexico in the semis falling in their favour; similarly, their opponents at the weekend had to wait until the 117th minute to make the breakthrough against dogged hosts Japan. Another tight affair is on the cards to determine the victors. Read our preview here:

Double gold for Rich?

Everton's versatile forward Richarlison has done the business for André Jardine's team at the rescheduled Olympics, even as Seleção have collectively found it tougher to score as the tournament has progressed. The back four have been the same for every game to date, and with no fitness issues to worry about, there is little reason for that to change now, which means Dani Alves has one last crack at another accolade before international retirement. Additionally, Richarlison is all but assured of the golden boot, but will want to head back to England in peak form and confidence.

Unai denied

Luis de la Fuente's charges will be determined to make their possession count on Saturday, and to keep a semblance of freshness, the U23s head coach will rotate the pack to make his side's opponents get tired more quickly as they chase the ball. Should either goalkeeper maintain a clean sheet, they will grab the golden glove, so the pressure on Unai Simón will be even higher to shut out Brazil.

Brazil-iant

Perhaps the single distinction between the two nations' chances are the number of overage heads for Brazil who have been and done it all, with frequent finals in both the Olympics and Copa América. As such, they can be backed at 10.00 with betway to win in extra time.
