The sixth edition of the SheBelieves Cup is back with another entertaining fixture this weekend as the USA take on Brazil at the Exploria Stadium on Sunday. Both teams have been in excellent form and will want to win this game.

The USA have won this tournament on three occasions and edged Canada to a 1-0 victory earlier this week. The host nation has named a strong squad for the SheBelieves Cup and will be confident ahead of this fixture.

Brazil eased past Argentina by a 4-1 margin in their opening game of the tournament and will look to attack the hosts in this fixture. The away side is lethal at its best and will look to win the tournament this year.


USA Women vs Brazil Women Head-to-Head

The USA have a flawless record in Brazil and have won both matches that have been played between the two teams. Brazil have never defeated the USA in an official fixture and have a point to prove this weekend.

The previous meeting between the two teams took place in the 2019 edition of the SheBelieves Cup and ended in a narrow 1-0 victory for the USA. Tobin Heath scored the winner on the day but is unavailable for the tournament.

The USA have been a dominant global force in women's soccer over the past few years and have an impressive pool of talent. The hosts were not at their best against Canada and will want to put in a better performance over the weekend.

Brazil have lethal weapons in their squad but will have to put in a well-rounded effort to trouble the USA. The host nation is the better team at the moment and is likely to edge Brazil to a victory in this game.

Prediction: USA Women 2-1 Brazil Women
