France’s women’s soccer team will make its third appearance in the quarter-finals of the Olympics. It will face South American Champions Brazil, who scrapped through in their group, winning only one match. The host team will try to reach the semi-finals in the last-eight match in Nantes on 3rd August 2024. During the group stage, the French squad obtained six points from three games to lead Group A. On the other hand, Brazil only scrapped through as one of the best third-placed teams. But, Team Brazil can take pride in their strong showing against the World Cup Champions Spain while playing with a red card.

Key Stats
France
France will come into this match-up as favorites, with the backing of many fans in Nantes city. Team France is optimistic that their captain, Wendie Renard, will be back for the crucial game, irrespective of injury concerns. After reaching the last-eight phase, Les Bleues are looking to claim their first medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. In their head-to-head matchup, France has won seven of its previous eight games against Brazil.
Despite being in good form, France women’s soccer will struggle to topple the South American champions, who have reached the knockout stage in their previous eight Olympic appearances. Marie-Antoinette Katoto will try to improve her fine form after scoring five goals in the last three group matches. She hopes to top the scoring charts in the Olympics 2024.
Brazil
Brazil would have performed better in the group stage if their all-time leading scorer, Marta, was not sent off during their match against Spain. The Brazilian team also needed a draw against Spain to qualify for the Olympic Games 2024’s quarter-finals. After going down to 10 players for the entire second half, Brazil showed much resilience in holding world champions Spain to 0-2.
Brazil legend Marta will not play in this match due to the suspension and coach Arthur Elias can give fresh players the opportunity to start like Gabi Portilho. Brazil has only scored two goals in its last three games at the 2024 Olympics games, a worrying trend as they will need a better performance against the host team than their first three games.
Prediction
France will be the hometown favorite for this quarter-final match, and we expect them to win, especially due to Brazil’s loss of legend Marta. In the last six matches, France has scored 16 goals, including the Olympic games and the 2023 World Cup. But Les Bleues also conceded eight times in this match. Over the same game period, France shot 40 times while Brazil also shot towards the goal 29 times.
This shows the offensive intent of the French team compared to their South American counterparts. However, Brazil can build up from their strong showing against Spain’s champions when they went down to 10 players. We feel that France’s firepower and home fans will prove too much for Brazil, providing a chance for the Les Bleues to advance to the semi-finals in the 2024 Olympic Games.
