In the Women’s Finalissima on Thursday, England Women will play Brazil Women at Wembley. The game is an intercontinental playoff between the champions of Europe and South America. In the 2022 Women’s Euro final, the Lionesses defeated Germany 2-1 after extra time to secure their place in the Finalissima. In the Women’s Copa America championship match, Brazil defeated Colombia 1-0.
England enters the match having comfortably defeated Belgium in the Arnold Clark Cup in February with a score of 6-1. Chloe Kelly and Leah Williamson each scored supports to direct their country to an agreeable success. Brazil has not played since losing to the USA in the SheBelieves Cup in February by a score of 2-1. The world champions got goals from Mallory Swanson and Alex Morgan, and As Canarinhas got a late consolation goal from Ludmila.
Prediction
England’s investment in women’s football has paid off over the past few years, and their Euro victory last year is expected to usher in a new era of dominance. The Lionesses are unquestionably one of the favorites to win the World Cup later this year, and the WSL is also stronger than ever.
Their matchup with Brazil is an opportunity to win yet another trophy and demonstrate their readiness for the Mundial. Brazil, on the other hand, has been falling short of their previous high standards and has been on a decline.
Britain enter the game as weighty top choices and enjoy home benefit in support of themselves. Sarina Wiegmann’s side are undefeated in 29 games and we are backing the European heroes to guarantee an agreeable success.
