International football is back in action with another set of matches this week as the USA take on an impressive Brazil side in an interesting clash at the Camping World Stadium on Wednesday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and will want to win this game.
Brazil are in sixth place in the World Cup qualification standings and have not been at their best over the past year. The Selecao edged Mexico to a narrow 3-2 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
The USA, on the other hand, defeated Mexico in the CONCACAF Nations League final and have been impressive this year. The home side slumped to a damaging 5-1 defeat at the hands of Colombia over the weekend and will need to bounce back in this match.
USA vs Brazil Head-to-Head
Brazil have an excellent historical record against the USA and have won 18 out of the 19 matches between the two teams. The USA have managed only one victory against Brazil and will need to improve their record in this fixture.
