Brazil Women v United States Women Prediction: Home success likely at 2/1

Brazil Women and the United States Women meet for the second time in a week when the two teams face off at Arena Castelao in Fortaleza.

Emma Hayes' side fell to a 2-1 defeat in Sau Paulo on Saturday, despite taking an early lead.

Sophia Wilson returned to the team and scored within two minutes, only for Brazil to secure a 2-1 lead after 14 minutes through Taina Maranhao and Bia Zaneratto.

Brazil will host the first women's World Cup in South America in 2027 and they will look to send a message to Hayes' team, who will be one of the favourites if they qualify.

Brazil Women v United States Women Prediction

Best Bet: Brazil Women to win @ 2/1

As hosts, Brazil will not need to qualify for next year's World Cup, but they will still want to head into the tournament with momentum.

Selecao have never won the tournament, finishing as runners-up in 2007, but their recent form suggests they have every chance under Arthur Elias.

Since losing to Mexico and Venezuela in March, Brazil have reeled off four consecutive victories and they have tightened up at the back, last conceding two goals in March.

Brazil are usually ruthless at home and they have not lost a home international since December 2023.

The USNWT have yet to lose back-to-back games under Hayes, but the short turnaround should hamper them, especially with Brazil usually excelling in the hot and humid conditions.

Alternative Bet: Over 2.5 goals @ 17/20

The first friendly between these two sides was entertaining and action-packed and a repeat of that looks likely.

A total of 24 shots were recorded in the first friendly and Brazil have been involved in some high-scoring games of late.

Five of their last six have contained over 2.5 goals, including a 6-1 success over Zambia and a 5-1 win over South Korea.

In the last seven USA Women games, over 2.5 goals landed on five occasions and these two teams have plenty of pride to play for as they try to lay down a marker before the World Cup.

Expect both teams to trade blows and put on a show in Fortaleza.

Brazil Women v United States Women Bet Builder Tip

• Both teams to score

• HT/FT - Draw/Brazil

  Pays @ 14/1

Hayes' team will expect to find the back of the net, having scored in six of their last seven away games.

The visitors had more possession than their hosts in the first friendly and registered 13 shots. They also won seven corners, suggesting they can have more joy in front of goal and find the back of the net.

Both Elias and Hayes may decide to make changes from the off due to the short turnaround, leading to a close and cagey first half.

However, as players tire and some first-team players are reintroduced, expect Brazil to take control in the second 45 minutes.
