Betting tips
Brazil Women 0-0 USA Women (7/1 with BetUK)
USA Women fans have been made to suffer at the Olympics this summer, particularly in the knockout stages. Both of their knockout stage matches so far have been goalless after 90 minutes.
No goalscorer (7/1 with BetMGM)
A reminder that markets normally count as 90 minutes only, so a goalless match will bring no goalscorers. As above, USA have scored their last two goals at the Olympics in extra-time.
USA Women to win in extra time (17/2 with Bet365)
Of course, USA Women are here because they have got the wins. Their past two wins have come thanks to extra-time, with Trinity Rodman scoring the winner against Japan Women and Sophia Smith putting Germany Women to the sword.
So here we are, the 2024 Olympics gold medal match. USA Women are four-time gold medallists but haven’t reached the final since 2012 when they beat Japan Women in London. In Rio 2016 they were beaten in the quarter-finals, while at Tokyo 2020 they took bronze. But, after taking charge in June, Emma Hayes has USA Women back in the final. USA Women went perfect in the group stage with three wins, nine goals and just two conceded against Zambia Women, Germany Women and Australia Women. But they had to work hard for their place in the final, beating Japan Women and Germany Women after extra-time.
Brazil Women are two-time Olympic silver medallists, so is this the time they finally get gold? In both 2004 and 2008 they were beaten by USA Women after extra-time. In fact, Brazil Women have a decent record at the Olympics without actually winning it. They have reached the final four in six of the eight Olympics, only failing in 2012 and 2020. After scraping through the group stage as one of the best third-placed teams, Brazil beat France and them Spain to reach the final. The latter was a 4-2 victory that could have been so much bigger, a statement over the reigning world champions.
Brazil Women take on USA Women in the 2024 Olympics gold medal match at 4pm on Saturday 10th August. The game takes place at the Parc des Princes in Paris.
Brazil Women team news
Brazil Women will welcome Marta back into the fold after she served a two-match suspension for her sending off against Spain Women in the group stage. Tamires is out with an ankle injury, picked up in the quarter-final win over France. Lauren had to come off against Spain in the semi-final due to injury, so Brazil Women will be sweating on her availability.
USA Women team news
Emily Sonnett came on for Tierna Davidson at half-time against Germany, so she could be in line to start the final. Emma Hayes opted for a back three, but may revert to a back four, which would see Emily Fox at right-back rather than a centre-back.
Brazil Women vs USA Women head-to-head
This will be the 41st meeting between these two nations and it’s a one-sided fixture. USA Women have beaten Brazil Women 32 times with just three defeats, including in the CONCACAF W Gold Cup final in March. Brazil Women haven’t beaten USA Women since 2014.
