Why you should back USMNT
Christian Pulisic is coming off a terrific season for AC Milan. After moving from Chelsea to AC Milan last offseason, the 25-year-old winger scored 12 goals and had eight assists during the Serie A season. His 20-goal involvements were the second most by an American player in Europe's top five leagues over the past 10 seasons.
Pulisic and the rest of the Americans will face a Brazilian side that has little motivation for Wednesday's friendly. The Brazilians are focused on winning Copa America and will open group play on June 24 against Costa Rica. Brazil rested several key players in Saturday's friendly against Mexico and could very well do so again against the USMNT. See which team to pick here.
Why you should back Brazil
The Brazilians have a plethora of world-class attacking talent. Vinicius Junior, a 23-year-old contender for this year's Ballon d'Or award, scored 24 goals across all competitions this season for Real Madrid, his third straight 20-goal campaign. Meanwhile, his teammate at Real Madrid, Rodrygo, scored five Champions League goals for a third consecutive season for the club. Led by Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, Real Madrid won the Champions League title.
Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, and the rest of Brazil's attackers have a good matchup against the USMNT backline. On Saturday against Colombia, the Americans struggled playing out of the back and made multiple errors en route to conceding five goals. The goals allowed were the most allowed by the USMNT since a 5-0 defeat to Mexico in the 2009 Concacaf Gold Cup final. See which team to pick here.
