Brazil Women vs Spain Women Prediction 31.07.2024 | Olympics - Women's

• Competition: 2024 Summer Olympics - Women's
• Date: Wednesday, 31st, July 2024
• Kickoff: 16:00 UK / 17.00 CEST
• Venue: Matmut Atlantique (Bordeaux)

Brazil Women will aim to maintain their status as the best third-placed team at the very least when they face tournament favorites Spain Women in the final Group C clash at Matmut Atlantique on Wednesday afternoon.

Under Arthur Elias' guidance, Brazil Women have yet to punch a ticket to the knockout stages, but they are not far from that goal, as they currently hold the top position among all third-placed teams with three points to their name. After Gabi Nunes' lone strike propelled her team to a successful start at the Olympics, the Female Canaries were denied a celebratory tune as they let in two goals during stoppage time, eventually losing 1-2 to Nigeria Women on the second day of the tournament.

Meanwhile, reigning world champions Spain Women have already secured progress to the knockout rounds of this summer's tournament with a game to spare in the group phase after they engineered winning drives in both of their opening matches. During the curtain-raiser of the 2024 Paris Olympics, Montserrat Tome's squad turned the tables to record a 2-1 victory over Japan Women at Nantes' venue, before battling through to break down Nigeria's defensive wall in a solitary 1-0 win brought by Barcelona Femeni captain Alexia Putellas in the 85th minute.

Brazil Women vs Spain Women Betting Tips: AH1 (+1.5)

In the final group stage clash, Brazil Women will strive to disrupt Spain Women's perfect start to secure valuable points and maintain their position as the best third-placed team at the very least. Ever since their inaugural invitation to the Olympics in the United States in 1996, the Female Canaries have continually succeeded in reaching the top eight teams of this tournament and will be assured of doing so once more, though they must earn at least a point from the reigning world champions. 

It doesn't seem like an impossible task, considering that Brazil Women have avoided defeat against Spain Women in three out of their last four head-to-head encounters, winning twice and drawing 1-1 in their most recent friendly match two years ago. Moreover, it is evident that La Roja lacks a lethal finishing touch in front of goal, as they had to sweat hard to defeat both Japan and Nigeria, scoring late winners in both instances. All things considered, we believe that Brazil Women have enough firepower in attack to trouble the favored Spanish side, so it wouldn’t be surprising if we witnessed a share of the points in this high-stakes clash.
