USA and Brazil clash in a friendly at Camping World Stadium as both teams seek to gain confidence and fine-tune their tactics ahead of Copa America 2024.
United States vs Brazil Betting Tips: BRAZIL TO WIN
The preparations for the 2024 Copa America have been nothing short of disastrous for the host country, as they suffered a humiliating defeat on home soil in Maryland where a red-hot Colombia handed them a crushing 1-5 loss, even though they were in search of an equalizer up until the 77th minute.
Prior to enduring a five-goal terror from the Coffee Growers in their first June warm-up match, the USMNT clinched their third consecutive CONCACAF Nations League title by triumphing over familiar rivals Mexico with a 2-0 victory in the final.
As they prepare to tackle Bolivia, Panama, and Uruguay in the group stage of this summer's Copa America, and with their first match in just two weeks, Berhalter's men will be working hard to lift their spirits, although recent friendly outings have offered little joy with only one win from their last four such matches, losing the other three.
Meanwhile, the Brazilians have kicked off their preparations for the biggest South American tournament with the sound of samba, all thanks to super-sub Endrick, who scored a 96th-minute winner to fire his side to a 3-2 victory over Mexico in a dramatic pre-Copa America friendly.
The thriller victory means that Selecao remains undefeated in their previous three non-competitive fixtures, as 17-year-old soon-to-be Real Madrid striker Endrick netted the solitary winner against England and contributed to an incredible six-goal stalemate versus Spain in high-profile friendlies in March.
Ahead of the final tune-up before embarking on their quest for the milestone 10th Copa America trophy, Brazil are optimistic about injecting additional confidence, given that their encounters against USMNT have largely been one-sided affairs, triumphing in each of the last eight H2Hs.
Even more impressively, Selecao ruthlessly filled the Americans' net, bagging three or more goals past them in five out of their last seven encounters, and given their recent lethal form in front of goal in friendlies, Brazil is expected to comfortably conclude their preparatory phase. Not even the comfort of playing in front of their own supporters will help them stop the formidable Brazil.

United States team news
Despite the humbling defeat of conceding five goals against Colombia on home soil, coach Gregg Berhalter is anticipated to maintain the majority of the starting lineup from that encounter.
The captain and star of the national team, Christian Pulisic, exited the field early in the second half, but the AC Milan winger will retain his spot in the starting lineup.

Meanwhile, manager Dorival Junior is likely to recall the same lineup that started against Mexico, but Lucas Paqueta could slot into midfield this time, pushing Andres Pereira to the bench.
17-year-old striker Endrick once again stole the show, netting the 96th-minute winner in a thrilling five-goal victory over the Sombreros, but the future Real Madrid forward may have to seek another chance from the bench.
