Brazil will look to finish the FIFA Women’s World Cup group stage on a high as they are currently placed second in their group after their stalemate against the United States, the last they featured at the Kalinga Stadium. Chaves Firmino was on the scoresheet for the first time in the campaign scoring the equalizer. Even though Brazil comes into the encounter as clear-cut favourites, it could be a stiff challenge with the support of the home crowd.
India no longer stand a chance to advance to the next round of the competition but still have a lot to play for in terms of pride; perhaps picking up one or three against the South American juggernauts would be a prized accomplishment. The entire nation will expect the hosts to bounce back after a devastating loss to Morocco, in which they gave up three goals in the second half.
Brazil might not have the services of Dudinha, as she was substituted before the end of the first half against the United States. On the other hand, India is expected to field a fully fit squad, subject to no injuries.
