Gillette Stadium hosts Brazil against USA in the Round of 32, number 2 of 21 in this part of the schedule. It is listed for Monday 29 June 2026, with kick-off at 18:00 ET, which is 3:30 am IST (30 Jun) in India. USA are playing in their own country, which our model counts as a small edge.
Brazil are stronger in both attack (91/100) and defence (84/100), so the question is whether USA can disrupt their rhythm. Two names that could tilt it are Bruno Guimarães for Brazil and Weston McKennie for USA.
Gillette Stadium is an open-air stadium where the evening breeze can be a factor in the second half. Our model projects 1-0 at full time on expected goals of 1.5 for Brazil and 1.2 for USA, with the first goal typically arriving between minutes 12–44. Because this is a knockout tie, a level score goes to extra time and penalties, and the model gives Brazil a 58% chance to progress.
