France Women will face Brazil Women at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday in another round of the group stages of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.
Les Bleues headed into the World Cup as one of the favorites to lift the trophy in August but have failed to begin their tournament with a win. They were held to a goalless draw by Jamaica last time out and perhaps deserved to come out on top but were guilty of wasteful finishing.
France sit second in the group table with one point and will be looking to pick up their first win of the tournament this weekend.
Brazil, meanwhile, locked horns with Panama Women in their group opener on Sunday and comfortably dispatched their fellow South Americans with a 4-0 victory. The 23-year-old Ary Borges put out a masterful performance for Seleção as she bagged a hat-trick while also providing an assist.
The Seleção sit atop Group F with three points and will be looking to add to that tally on Saturday.
France are on a run of back-to-back winless outings after winning six of their previous seven games. Their failure to convert chances ultimately denied them maximum points in their opening game and they will be looking to avoid a repeat of that this weekend.
Brazil, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning streak after losing four of their previous six outings. They are in much better form than their opponents and should win this one.
Prediction: France Women 1-2 Brazil Women
Tip 1 - Result: Brazil to win
Tip 2 - Goals - Over/under 2.5 - Over 2.5 goals (Four of the last six meetings between the two teams have produced more than 2.5 goals)
Tip 3 - Both teams to score: YES (Both sides have found the back of the net in five of their last six matchups)
