Brazil W vs. USA W: Match Preview, Odds & Predictions

The 2024 Olympic gold medal match has finally arrived. After defeating Japan Women in London in 2012, the United States Women, who have won four gold medals in total, have not advanced to the final since. Their best finish was bronze at Tokyo 2020, while their worst was a quarterfinal loss at Rio 2016. Emma Hayes, however, has USA Women back in the final after taking over in June. In the group stage, the USA women were undefeated, defeating Zambia, Germany, and Australia by a score of 9–0 with just 2 goals surrendered. Nevertheless, they earned their spot in the final by battling hard in extra-time victories against Japan Women and Germany Women.

Head to head and previous predictions

Marta will be back with the Brazil Women after serving a two-match ban for her red card in the group stage encounter against Spain Women. Tamires hurt his ankle in the quarterfinal victory against France and will miss the rest of the season. Brazil Women will be anxiously awaiting Lauren's availability after she was substituted off in the semi-final match against Spain owing to an injury.

It is possible that Emily Sonnett will start the final after replacing Tierna Davidson at halftime in the match against Germany. Although Emma Hayes started with a back three, she might switch to a back four in the future, with Emily Fox playing right back instead of center back.

For the 41st time, these two countries will square off in what promises to be an unfair matchup. Including March's CONCACAF W Gold Cup final, the United States women's national soccer team has a 32–3 record against Brazil's women's national soccer team. No Brazilian women's team has defeated an American one since 2014.

Will this be the Olympic gold medal moment for the Brazilian women, who had won silver medals in the past? They lost in overtime against the USA Women in 2004 and again in 2008. To be more specific, Brazil's women have a respectable track record at the Olympics, albeit they have never won a medal. Six out of eight Olympics have seen them make it to the final four; the other two were in 2012 and 2020. Brazil advanced to the final after surviving the group stage as a top-three contender, then defeating France and Spain. In the second case, a 4-2 triumph against the defending champions might have been a message of far more significance.

Full time draw @ 3.25 on Sky247.ng

This summer's Olympics, especially the knockout rounds, have been cruel to supporters of the United States women's national team. Up to this point in the tournament, no team has scored a goal after 90 minutes of play.

A friendly reminder that markets often only take the first half into account, therefore in the event of a scoreless match, no goals will be awarded. The United States of America has scored twice in Olympic overtime, as mentioned above.
