The USA continue with their quest for another Olympic gold medal in the Men's Basketball tournament and will play Brazil in the quarter-finals in Paris. This match on Tuesday, will be staged at the Accor Arena and here’s a look at the analysis defining the game as well as our prediction.
Team USA saw off Serbia, South Sudan and Puerto Rico in their three group games and finished top in Group C. Brazil on the other hand qualified for the knockout rounds as one of the two best third-placed teams from the group stage.
The winner from this tie will play the victor in the quarter-final between Serbia and Australia in the semi-finals. These two nations have faced off 33 times before with the US winning on 23 occasions. Nine of their wins have come at the Olympics stage. They therefore are the bookies’ favourite to win here and to also go all the way and claim gold.

Brazil - USA: Form Analysis
Brazil scraped through to the knockout rounds in their final group match. Aleksandar Petrovic’s men were on the verge of elimination going into matchday three after losing their opening two games. Needing a big win against Japan to qualify as one of the two best third-placed teams, Brazil did just that, securing a 102-84 win.
Inconsistencies have characterized the South American’s stay in Paris. Brazil managed just 66 points in their tournament opener against France and then had 73 against Germany. But after their strong showing against Japan, they will be confident of unsettling the favored USA.
This especially as they have had recent success in this fixture. Brazil won the last two times they faced off with the USA. Their last showdown was in qualifying for the 2023 World Cup last year.
Playing their fourth game at Paris 2024, the USA have shown why they are tipped favorites for gold.
The USA are yet to lose in Paris and have dominated as expected. They are the only team to average at least 100 points and all their wins have been by blowouts. Steve Kerr’s men began with a 110-84 victory over Serbia and then followed that up with a 103-86 success over South Sudan.
In their final group game, they would thump a hapless Puerto Rico team 104-83. The US, who are seeking a fifth successive Olympic gold, are on an eight-match winning run. Since making their Olympic debut in 1936, the USA have never finished outside the podium places.
At the Olympic Games, Team USA have won all nine times in which they faced off with Brazil. Their last Olympic battle was in the quarter-finals of the 1996 Games on home soil.

With a squad comprising the best of the best in the NBA, another 100-plus-point game from the US should be expected here. Brazil, on the other hand, have lacked consistency on the offensive end. But with the US showing laxity on defence, Brazil could put up their game average here.
