Super Falcons vs Brazil: Analysis of the match
After making three consecutive appearances at the Olympics between 2000 and 2008, the Super Falcons were absent from the next three editions of this tournament.
Despite their long hiatus, the Falcons are the only African team to have advanced to the knockout stages of this competition, when they crashed out in the quarterfinals of the 2004 Athens Olympics.
On the other hand, Brazil have not only qualified for every edition of this tournament, but have also reached the knockout stages every single time. The Seleção have five semifinal appearances to their name, and two silver medals.
Although the Super Falcons have had no losses in their last eight competitive fixtures, they are up against a Brazil squad that won nine of their previous 11 matches.
It will be interesting to see how the Super Falcons fare after their impressive performance at the FIFA Women's World Cup last year.
Super Falcons vs Brazil: Head to head record
This will be the third encounter between these sides, and their second clash at the Olympics. Brazil defeated the Super Falcons 4-3 after extra time at the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup. This was followed by a comfortable 3-1 victory in the group stage of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Super Falcons vs Brazil prediction
It is fair to point out that Randy Waldrum‘s troops have struggled in front of goal recently, as they have scored just twice in their last five matches. This is in contrast to the Seleção, who have scored eight times in their last two games.
Nigeria’s Super Falcons are 0-2 against Brazil, and despite their best efforts, it should be business as usual for the Brazilians.
