Is there a better tip for USA vs Brazil?

The Americans got a big slap in the face from Colombia, it’s hard to see why they wouldn’t get another one from the Brazilians.

Although the European national teams have already finished their preparation matches for the upcoming European Championship, overseas the warm-up for the Copa América is still underway.

The USA will take on Brazil in Orlando at 1am, and the match-ups look rather one-sided, but the bookmakers have been very kind to the USA.

In fact, when the markets opened four days ago, there were bookmakers who had the Vinicius team at around 1.80, but that number was quickly corrected by punters.

One of the main reasons for this could be the fact that the Americans were beaten 5-1 by Colombia a few days ago. And they didn’t line up with a B-squad, but with their legionnaires from Europe, Pulisic, Mckennie, Cardoso and Richards all starting.

The national team captain split halves then and will presumably rotate a lot now, which could come to a head again as the bench is not very solid for the Americans.

Brazil played a very good match against Mexico, which they won 3-2.The Brazilian captain has mainly put in players who will be more of a substitute, but Rodrygo, Rapinha, Danilo, Marquinhos and Gabriel have not played a minute, while Vinícius, Endrick and Paqueta have come on as substitutes.

We expect a slightly different line-up against the USA as the big tournament approaches, so we foresee several changes to the starting line-up against Mexico. However, these changes could strengthen the team.

It’s hard to see how the US team can surprise the Brazilians. Obviously an exhibition game like this could be good publicity for the Amis, but the Brazilians are not going to be playing a game before a Copa. They need to keep working, keep building confidence and this Brazilian national team is in a very good place right now – at least that’s how it looks from the outside.

Despite being at home, we think the USA could bleed to death against another South American giant, so we’re not overly fussy in our betting recommendations and are going with the Brazilians with Asian handicap options.
