Spain's U23 Olympic team have taken on Morocco's U23s twice previously, in the 2000 Games in Sydney and the 2012 London Olympics.

In 2000 Spain won 2-0 while in 2012 their clash ended goalless.

Morocco v Spain team news

Morocco team news

Morocco have the freescoring Soufiane Rahimi, who has netted five goals in four games at the tournament, and can rely on flying wingers Ilias Akhomach and Abde Ezzalzouli for creativity and threat in the final third.

Captain Achraf Hakimi is one of their reliable Over-23 players.

Spain team news

Spain are likely to field largely the same side who saw off Japan in the quarter-finals, meaning Juan Miranda, Eric Garcia and Pau Cubarsi should all start.

Up front, Abel Ruiz, Fermin Lopez and Sergio Gomez are set to feature again, with Samu Omorodion having to settle for a place on the bench.
