Nigeria returns to the Olympics as they face Brazil. It is time to continue our 2024 Olympics Women’s Soccer odds series with a Nigeria-Brazil prediction and pick. This will be the first time Nigeria has been at the Olympic games since the 2008 Olympics. In those games, they did not win a game, going with three losses, including a 3-1 loss to Brazil. Still, Nigeria does have some recent success on the international stage. In the 2023 World Cup, they beat Australia and would draw with both Canada and the Republic of Ireland to advance to the knock-out round. There, they would go to penalties with England, losing the game to the future runner-ups. Brazil failed to move out of the group stage in those games. They would advance to the knockout round in the 2020 Olympics, falling in penalties to Canada in the knockout round.
