Brazil Women vs Jamaica Women Prediction
Brazil will once again enter the Olympics as one of the dark horses to emerge victorious as they continue their quest to win a first global title.
They had a relatively successful campaign in the She Believes Cup. The South American side will finalize preparations for their campaign in Paris with this double-header against Jamaica.
The Jamaicans, meanwhile, made global headlines when they made it to the knockouts of the last FIFA Women's World Cup just a few years after being totally disbanded.
Their hard-fought draw with Brazil saw them book their spot in the Round of 16. However, things have gone downhill since then, with the The Reggae Girlz winless in 13 games since their group-stage victory over Panama at the World Cup.
Brazil are favourites to win both games. Expect the South American giants to claim a comfortable win with goals at both ends.
