They went into the Olympic Games with realistic expectations of winning it but eventually fell short. The Spaniards now have their focus on the Euros in Switzerland next year, and this game will help with their preparation.
Canada, for their part, faced one of the biggest scandals in women's football in recent years and are still in the process of trying to get their house in order. The Canucks are seeking their first win in the fixture.
Spain are the favourites and should claim a comfortable victory with goals at both ends.
