Olympics 2024 Soccer Best Bets (Saturday)
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Brazil (+400) vs. United States (-110), DRAW (+200) | 2.5 (+150/-190)
Brazil and the USA are no strangers at this point. The two nations squared off in the CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup back in March, and it was the Stars and Stripes who secured a 1-0 victory in the Final. The two sides will play another high-leverage match on Saturday, this time competing for an Olympic gold medal. Kickoff is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. ET from Parc des Princes in Paris, France.
This will be the third time that Brazil and the United States square off in the gold medal match, and the USA is 2-0 in those contests (2004, 2008). Between the historic success and the recent head-to-head victory back in March, I think it makes sense to ride with the USA on the moneyline at -110.
The USA's defense has been spectacular this tournament, conceding only two goals over its five matches. This includes winning a couple of 1-0 matches against Japan and Germany in the rounds leading up to the Final. They're in great form and the organization clearly has a championship pedigree with four gold medals to its resume. I think the United States gets it done in a low-scoring affair on Saturday morning.
Bet: United States Moneyline (-110)
