USA Women vs Brazil Women Prediction
The Stars and Stripes have been in good touch recently, suffering just one defeat across all competitions in 2024. They have kept clean sheets in three of their five games in the competition thus far and will look to build on that form.
Seleção lost two of their three group stage games but have seen an upturn in the knockout stage, defeating hosts France in the quarterfinals and 2023 FIFA World Cup winners Spain in the semifinals. Nonetheless, they are winless in this fixture since 2014 and might struggle here.
The USA have a 100% record in the competition thus far and Brazil head into the match having registered an impressive win in the semifinals. While both teams have been in good touch in the competition, considering the 2012 gold medalists' dominance against Brazil, we back the USA to register a narrow win.
