- Competition: Olympic Games
- Date: Saturday, 10th August 2024
- Kickoff: 16:00 UK / 17:00 CEST
- Venue: Parc des Princes (Paris)
The Olympic Games in Paris are entering the final phase, and on Saturday, we will find out who will win the gold medal. While the USA is one of the best women's football teams and a four-time Olympic Games winner, Brazil is their unexpected opponent, as most pundits expected Spain in the final.
Brazil didn't play well in the group phase, winning only three points, but they still made it to the knockout phase. In the quarterfinal, Arthur Ribas Elias' team won 1-0 against France, while in the semifinal, Brazil were better than Spain (4-2). Arthur Ribas Elias' team was the underdog in both games. However, they showed impressive efficiency and resilience and secured progress to the final match.
The USA came to the Olympic Games as one of the favorites to win gold medals. Their run in the group phase was impressive, with three wins from three matches and a 9:2 goal difference. However, the USA didn't play well in the knockout phase, as Emma Hayes' team needed two wins after the extra time against Japan and Germany. In both matches, the USA was the favorite to win in the regular ninety minutes.
Brazil W vs USA W pick: Under 2.5 goals
Brazil scored seven goals in five Olympic Games matches, but four of those seven goals came in the semifinals. On the other hand, the USA had problems in the attack in the knockout phase. We should expect a careful game from both sides on Saturday afternoon, so under 2.5 goals should be the best bet for this tie.

USA W team news
USA's head coach, Emma Hayes, is well-known for their no-rotation policy, as she plays most matches with the same lineup. While it raises concerns, Hayes thinks otherwise. She said, "I've said this all along — the reason I want to play the team together for as long as possible is because I want them to develop that. I want them to suffer. I want them to have that moment because I do not believe you can win without it."
