Women’s World Cup 2023 Preview
There will be a huge match to round off proceedings in Group F on Wednesday, as Brazil and Jamaica clash with a place in the round of 16 hanging in the balance. Brazil will be favoured to steal second on matchday three, but only a victory will be enough for them to land that spot. At present, they sit third in the standings, and are one point behind Jamaica. The South American nation fell to defeat in their previous match in the competition, as they were beaten 1-0 by France on Saturday.
Brazil has an excellent record of reaching the knockout stages of the Women’s World Cup, as they have only exited the competition at this stage in two previous editions. However, they haven’t fell at the fist hurdle since 1995. Brazil has won their final group stage match in each of the previous four editions without conceding a goal.
Jamaica will be chasing history at the Women’s World Cup on Wednesday, as they are looking to reach the round of 16 for the first time. A win or a draw will be enough for them to book their spot in the competition. However, only two previous nations from the CONCACAF region have ever successfully made it out of the Women’s World Cup group stage.
Defensively, they have been excellent at the World Cup this summer, as they have kept clean sheets in each of their opening two matches. Before this summer, they had averaged four goals per game against in their opening three matches.
Jamaica vs Brazil Head to Head
Brazil and Jamaica will be clashing for the second time at the World Cup. The previous match came at the 2019 event, with Brazil landing a 3-0 win. Jamaica will be looking to gain revenge for that defeat suffered in their first ever Women’s World Cup fixture.
Jamaica vs Brazil Prediction
This will be a tricky game for Brazil, as Jamaica has defended excellently across their two opening matches in the competition. But, it is hard to overlook Brazil, who boast an excellent record of making it out of the group stage at the competition.
