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.

Our Brazil vs USA Prediction
Our prediction for Brazil v the USA is for this match to see over 180.0 points scored. The USA have been in terrific form in Paris and convincingly won their three matches so far. They are the only team to have averaged at least 100 points per game in Paris.
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.
