Jamaica vs Brazil Prediction: This might be the end of the road for the Female Canaries, as the Reggae Girlz won’t be intimidated

Jamaica will lock horns with Brazil at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium on Wednesday. After being tagged the underdogs before the tournament, Jamaica are now tied on points with table topper France, but the Brazilians will be poised to unseat them.

JAMAICA

FIFA Ranking: 43rd

It has been an unprecedented competition for the Reggae Girlz with a share of the spoils against France in their opening match amounting to a first point at a Women’s World Cup and, suddenly, they can seriously contemplate reaching the knockout stages for the first time too, with this victory lifting them level on points with group leader France. Jamaica are having their best time in this competition, having played two games without conceding any goals. The Reggae Girls have four points from their last two games and need a point in this encounter to advance to the knockout phase.

Jamaica are very much aware of the challenges they will face in this group, but they are determined to give their best, even though their chances of progressing in the competition are slim.

Possible Starting Eleven: Rebecca; Sampson, Allyson, Swaby, Washington, Tiffany, Primus, Tierney, Drew Spence, Gayle, Khadija Saw.

BRAZIL

FIFA Ranking: 8th

The Female Canaries began their journey with a convincing victory over Panama when they scored four times against the debutant. However, they surrendered to a superior team, and France defeated them (2-1). Brazil were outmuscled by the French side, who took the lead before the break. After some fine play from Brazil after the break, they got the equaliser until Wendie Renard restored the lead for France for the second time.

The South American side have never won the World Cup since it began in 1991. Their best result in this competition was a runner-up finish in 2007 when they lost to Germany in the final. Brazil have dominated the Copa America Femenina tournament over the years, winning eight golds and a silver.

Brazil have garnered three points from a possible six and will need all the points in this encounter to advance to the next round.

Possible Starting Eleven; Lele; Antonia, Kathellen, Rafaelle, Tamires; Borges, Kerolin, Adriana, Luana, Geyse, Nunes.

Expert Betting Tips

Brazil met with Jamaica in the 2019 World Cup in an encounter that ended in a (3-0) for them. Brazil used to be a world beater but have lost their magic in this competition. The Copa America winners were below par against France and have lots to prove here if they are to secure the ticket to the knockout phase for the seventh consecutive season. The Reggae Girlz have had a grand-breaking tournament, having gone two games without a defeat. Jamaica will have Khadijah Shaw available for this encounter after the Manchester City player was booked against France. The influential striker will torment Brazil's backline, which might give them the opportunity to get a point at least here. The Reggae Girlz have been remarkable at the back since their opening game against France, and we hope for another great performance, but this time, we expect more than two goals for 1.70.

Even though the Brazilians have made it out of the group stage for a sixth consecutive season, we still believe it’ll be tough for them against this Jamaican side; bet on BTTS for 2.40.

We expect both sides to settle for a halftime draw here 2.67, as the Reggae Girlz won’t be intimidated.

Good luck!
