The women's tournament at the 2024 Olympic Games will feature the gold medal match, with Brazil facing the United States in the final. The game is set to take place on Saturday, August 10th, and will kick off at 17:00 Central European Time. The analysts at Dailysports have prepared a prediction for this encounter.
Brazil Women
The Brazilian team has unexpectedly reached the Olympic final. In the group stage, they narrowly defeated Nigeria 1-0. However, Brazil lost their next two matches, falling to Japan 1-2 and then to Spain 0-2 in the final group stage game. Despite these setbacks, Brazil advanced to the knockout stage from third place. In the quarter-finals, Brazil faced France, the tournament hosts, who were considered heavy favorites.
Nonetheless, the Brazilians managed a narrow 1-0 victory. In the semi-finals, Brazil faced Spain, the top favorites for the gold medals. Surprisingly, Brazil emerged victorious with a convincing 4-2 win. Over five matches, Brazil scored seven goals and conceded six.
USA Women
The most decorated team in the history of women's Olympic football, the USA has won four gold medals in past tournaments. This Olympics has also been a strong showing for the Stars and Stripes. They won all three of their group stage matches, accumulating nine points. In the first two rounds, the USA first thrashed Zambia 3-0 and then defeated Germany 4-1. In their final group game, they narrowly beat Australia 2-1. The USA was the most prolific team in the group stage, scoring nine goals in three matches.
In the knockout stage, the USA faced Japan and Germany. Both matches ended in 0-0 draws and went into extra time, but the Stars and Stripes managed to score the decisive goal in each match, securing their place in the final of the women's football tournament at the 2024 Olympics.
