Olympic Games 07/29: Men's Soccer- Spain vs Honduras

Olympic Games - Men's Soccer- Spain vs Honduras

Spain very surprisingly lost their first match against Japan, in a match where the Japanese team was tactically brilliant by not giving any space to the Spanish squad. To make things worse, a Spanish player was sent off still in the first half and as much as Spain tried to come back in the second half, they just couldn't get through the solid defense of the Japanese team.

So, the Spanish team has a perfect spot today to bounce back, especially when they really need to win this match if they want to qualify for the knock-out stage. They will face an Honduran team, which is the complete opposite of Japan. Honduras played against Morocco in their first match with a wide open attitude, with very little tactical discipline and because of that, they committed a lot of errors throughout the whole match. Against a Spanish team that doesn't use the "tiki taka style" unlike their national "A" team, but a more vertical style, I believe Spain will have a lot of opportunities to score today and they will eventually get an easy win today over Honduras. I'm taking Spain on the spread today. 

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on Spain (-1,5) @ -147 / 1.68 on 5Dimes
