The United States won the CONCACAF Nations League this spring, beating Mexico in the final. Now, they are preparing for the upcoming Copa America, although Gregg Berhalter’s team is not among the favourites to win this tournament.
In the last friendly, the Stars and Stripes suffered a heavy 1-5 defeat against Colombia. The opponent fired six shots at Matt Turner’s goal, and five of them ended up in the net. It was an unexpected result as there isn’t much difference in strength between these two sides. However, Colombia deservedly secured the victory with a more dominant performance.
The United States boasts many star players from top European Leagues in their squad. Notable names include Weston McKennie, Christian Pulisic, Folarin Balogun and Mallick Tillman, who had a perfect season at PSV.
In January 2024, Junior Dorival became the head coach of Brazil, marking his first stint with a national team. Throughout his coaching career, spanning over 20 years, he worked exclusively in Brazil.
Under his leadership, Brazil won a friendly match against England, drew against Spain, and recently won a difficult match against Mexico. While the Brazilians are the favourites in the match, the match will take place in Orlando, where the majority of fans will come to support the Americans.
One of the most exciting moments for Brazil was Endrick’s goal. The young starlet scored against as a substitute, and at just 17 years old, Dorival will likely seek to utilize him more in the Copa America.
Bet hereThe game is anticipated to be high-scoring. In the previous 10 meetings, the USA’s matches have averaged 3.6 goals, while Brazil’s matches have seen an average of 3.3 goals.
Brazil’s offense is phenomenal. Even without Neymar, the guests have a formidable attack with players like Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo and Endrick. Additionally, they have exceptional midfielders such as Bruno Guimaraes and Lucas Paqueta.
The United States is not expected to sit back and will create plenty of chances. Christian Pulisic and Timothy Weah are standout footballers for the hosts. With their speed and technique, they will surely trouble Brazil’s defence. Therefore, betting on over 3 goals in this game seems like a solid idea.
Despite the USA’s heavy 1-5 loss to Colombia, their last 10 matches show resilience, with only two defeats by more than one goal. On the other hand, Brazil has managed to win by two or more goals only once in their last 10 matches.
Adding to that, Brazil’s defence does not look convincing. They squandered their advantage against Mexico and had it not been for Endrick’s last-minute winner, they would have played a draw.
With the USA playing on home turf and enjoying the crowd’s support, I assume that they will be able to put up a strong fight against Brazil. I think that the handicap (+1.5) is a reasonable choice.
