Brazil masterclass in round one
Brazil’s preparation for their opening Olympic match could not have gone any better. Beating Jamaica twice with a 4-0 scoreline was the perfect confidence boost for one of the strongest teams in the tournament.
Brazil recently finished third in the SheBelieves Cup, beating Japan in the third-place play-off, after narrowly losing 2-1 on penalties to Canada in the semi-finals. This experienced side should do well in Paris.
Nigeria will prove to be difficult opponents, having lost just one of their last ten matches, but Brazil’s quality should shine through.

Goals galore in Paris
With Brazil scoring eight goals in their two friendlies leading up to the tournament, they are in fine form in front of goal.
Brazilian all-time goalscorer and legend Marta was on the scoresheet in the most recent friendly against Jamaica. Although 38, he will still be able to both create and score goals in this competition.
Nigeria, however, won’t simply roll over. They have great attacking players, too, as we saw in the women’s AFCON. This could be an open game where we see plenty of goals.

Nigeria capable of scoring
Although we believe Brazil will have the edge to come out on top, it would be foolish to write Nigeria off scoring. As mentioned, they have only lost one of their last ten matches, which was a narrow 1-0 loss in a friendly to Canada.
They have prepared well for the tournament, and will want to catch Brazil off guard by taking the game to them. With nothing to lose and confident players in the final third, they can score against the South American nation, landing us our third winning bet.
