Home » Match of the day: Brazil faces off against Italy (predictions)

Tonight the women of Brazil and Italy are playing one of their toughest matches thus far in the tournament. Brazil is in there to secure their place at the final sixthteen while Italy is planning on becoming the uncontested group winner. Odds are slightly in favor of the south americans, despite Italy winning their last two. With Australia facing off against Jamaica, and equal in points for the next round, it is obvious why Brazil really needs this win. Thanks to the goal difference, chances are Italy will finish first in group regardless of the results. It will be comforting for them to know they are gonna face Nigeria, Chile or China; teams that are all considered as beatable.

Betting Predictions Brazil Italy

As for betting predictions, we want to slightly hold back on the Italian strikers to score (Cristina Girelli and Aurora Galli) despite their numerous goals. Since the Italians have already qualified, chances are one of them is starting from the bench. Brazil has a lot of scoring potential, but are also vulnerable in the back. Proven by the Aussies who bended 0-2 into a 3-2 win against them. We still think it safe to bet on Marta to score, maybe even twice. It is up to you whether you want to bet on a draw and Australia to go through to the final 16 winning against Jamaica, or bet on Brazil taking this (3-2 for instance) and going through on goal difference. They are both not unlikely outcomes! Betting on over 2,5 goals is probably a safe bet; these are not the Italian men playing!
