United States betting news and analysis

The U.S. women have proven they can win in multiple ways, scoring multiple goals in high-scoring contests and gritting it out in defensive battles. One word comes to mind when it comes to Team USA and that is "clutch," as the squad has come up with winning plays two games in a row when faced with elimination. The offense has not finished as well as it did early in the tournament, but that is not shocking since the competition has improved.

What has been consistent all tournament long, though, has been the defense and goalkeeping. No opponent has scored more than one goal against the United States in the Olympics, and the USWNT has not allowed a goal in the knockout rounds, including 120 minutes of extra time. If the defense and goalie Alyssa Naeher continue their back-half dominance, it will lead the USA to Olympic gold on Saturday.

Brazil betting news and analysis

Brazil, with its backs against the wall and playing without Marta -- its leader and one of the best women's soccer players of all time, due to suspension -- shocked the world by upsetting Spain. The Olympics have not been an easy road for Brazil, as it barely escaped group play, losing to Japan and Spain, but it has turned it on in the knockout stages. It beat the host country, France, in the quarterfinals, before eliminating Spain in the semis.

Getting Marta back for the final will be a huge lift. At 38 years old, Marta has had plenty of rest and should be fresh for the final, which could spell danger for the United States. Some signs point toward Brazil being able to upset the USWNT, but the U.S. squad has been excellent all tournament long and is undefeated for a reason.

United States vs. Brazil prediction: USWNT prevails in 2024 Olympic women's soccer final

With Marta returning, the storybook ending stage is set for her to win gold, ending her career on a high note. The only thing that stands in her way is the USWNT, a deeper, more talented, and more consistent squad. Brazil will scare the United States in the first half and maybe even take the lead. The United States, though, will be the better team in the second half and continue to come up clutch at winning time.
