Watch Germany U17 vs Brazil U17 Live Streaming Match #GERBRA #U17WWC
The United States of America (USA) will go head-to-head with Nigeria, and Germany will compete against Brazil in the first round of quarterfinal matches of the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup at the D.Y.Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Friday.
It will be a clash of heavyweights when Group B topper Germany takes on Group A runner-up Brazil, in possibly the most delectable encounter of the quarterfinal stage
Germany is the only team except for Japan which won all three of its group-stage games. Friederike Kromp’s side has been a menace in front of goal, scoring 11 times, only second after the USA, which has scored 13. Along with its attacking prowess, the Die Nationalelf (The National Eleven) has been equally efficient in maintaining a disciplined backline conceding just two goals in the group stages, one of which came from a set-piece in the match against Nigeria where Miracle Usani scored from a free-kick.
Germany has had seven different scorers in the three group-stage matches, but Brazil’s main threat will be Loreen Bender, who has been terrific in front of goal. With three goals, she is the joint-top scorer of the tournament along with Linda Caicedo of Columbia, Momoko Tanikawa of Japan, and Charlotte Kohler of the USA.

Brazil came into the tournament as one of the favourites. With a power-packed team containing the likes of Jhonson, Carol, Aline Gomes and Lara, the German defence is expected to have a difficult time coping with the fluid and expressive style of football that has worked wonders for the CONMEBOL Women’s U-17 title winner.

The Germans, who have defended well in the tournament, need to be cautious and maintain constant communication among the backline due to Brazil’s tendency to make tricky runs behind the defence. Till now, the Selecao has been heavily reliant on wingers Aline and Maria. They not only possess the ability to pull defenders wide but also thread accurate cut-backs to Jhonson in the centre – a route that the Brazilians will tend to take.
If Jhonson’s deadly finishing isn’t enough to cause worry, the Germans will also need to deal with Carol, who is likely to play just behind Jhonson in the No.10 role. Carol, who has an eye for making defence-splitting passes, also scored a goal against the USA in the group stages.
Challenge for Nigeria
Group A topper USA will be the favourite against Group B runner-up Nigeria. Natalia Astrain’s USA side, which has qualified for the knockout stages for the first time since 2008, is the highest-scoring team in the competition with 13 goals.
The USA has a well-balanced side with the ability to build attacks from the backline. With overlapping fullbacks like Gisele Thompson and Savannah King, the Americans will look to threaten the Nigerian backline with their extensive wingplay.
Onyeka Gamero and Taylor Suarez on the flanks have been excellent for the USA in the tournament and will have an able finisher in Melina Rebimbas at the centre. What makes the States even more threatening is their midfield powerhouse Charlotte Kohler who tends to make driving runs in the final third and get behind the backline quickly to contribute to attacking moves.
Despite being the weaker side on paper, it would be a mistake to negate Bankole Olowookere’s Nigeria. Nigeria won two of its group-stage matches and lost one. Ironically, the Flamingoes have a defender as their top-scorer in Miracle Usani, who has two goals in the tournament.
Over the group stages, Nigeria has shown boldness in its approach play- going for shots from ambitious distances, especially in its second group match against New Zealand which it won 4-0. Apart from Usani’s venomous right foot, the Flamingoes have good finishers in Amina Bello, Taiwo Afolabi and Edidiong Etim, and can pose a considerable threat to USA’s goal.
Weather blues
A day before USA’s crucial quarters match against Nigeria, when preparations were supposed to be on at full flow, the USA team and staff were just idling away near Practice Pitch 2 at the CIDCO Training Ground in Khargah, Navi Mumbai.
The reason for this was an official alert by FIFA of possible lightning and the instruction was to not train until further notice. The United States team was originally supposed to start training at 4:30 PM today but the FIFA alert caused a considerable delay in training for the Stars and Stripes. While the sky was overcast, lightning was nowhere to be seen. USA started training about an hour later after receiving the go-ahead from the authorities.
USA’s opponent Nigeria, who was also training in Navi Mumbai at a different venue, had a full training session as per schedule
Chelsea have agreed a 35 million euros fee with PSV for new winger while Arsenal and Brighton have done the same for Leandro Trossard.
Chelsea are simply not holding back in the transfer market. The club have reached full agreement with PSV Eindhoven for Nonny Madueke for a fee of €35 million.
Madueke is the 3rd offensive signing Chelsea are signing this January having Brought in Joao Felix and Mudryk earlier.
It remains to be seen what direction Chelsea are taking with so many signings but things will be clearer when they have all their players available. As it stands, Madueke is the 11th player currently under Chelsea custody who can play on the wings.
Arsenal on the other hand have completed their first winter signing after reaching agreement with Brighton for the transfer of Leandro Trossard.
Trossard has wanted out of Brighton after falling out with their manager and with his contract expiring in June, Arsenal have got him for a much reduced fee.
Trossard is Arsenal’s alternative to Mudryk who joined Chelsea after the blues offered Shakhtar Donetsk’s asking prizlce for the Ukrainian m
AC Milan vs Salzburg
Europe – Champions League
Date: Wednesday, 2 November 2022
Kick-off at 21:00 UK/ 22:00 CET
Venue: Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
Both AC Milan and Salzburg are in the running for a spot in the knockouts of the Champions League, and currently they are separated by a single point in the group table. In this final match-day of the group stage, expect a fierce clash between the two.
Milan are the reigning Italian champions, and they of course have that confidence going into this crucial game. Moreover they are at home for this final group stage fixture, where they will be vociferously cheered on by their loyal fans.
It is also to be noted that they are champions of one of the top-five leagues in Europe, who are pitted against an opponent from a league that is nowhere near the Serie A in terms of quality.
Moreover, pressure is not something new for the Italian title-holders. The last season they were chased by arch-rivals Inter Milan almost through the entirety of the second half of the season, and they still managed to lift the trophy at the end.
As such, expect a confident and determined bunch of Milan players at the Stadio Giuseppe this Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Salzburg are ready for the fight. They already recorded a draw in the reverse fixture, and will be willing to give it all at this final hurdle.
They have been on a good run for quite some time – so much so that their only defeat in the past three months came against the two-time European champions Chelsea.
Furthermore, they are on a long streak of great performances on the road. In fact, the last they lost away from home was back in July, and before that in April.
Surely expect a thrilling encounter this Wednesday, as the two lock horns. Anticipate goals from either end of the pitch.
AC Milan vs Salzburg Head-to-head (h2h)
- The reverse fixture ended in a 1-1 draw.
- Other than that AC Milan have a 100% winning record.
- They kept clean sheets in all but one clash so far.
- The combined scorecard for the past three meetings is 5-1, in their favor.
AC Milan vs Salzburg Predictions
Milan are on a winning streak at the moment, and they scored ten goals from the past three fixtures. They are also at home, where they have been on a great run for quite some time now.
On the other hand, Salzburg too are in great form. They even managed to deliver some great performances away from home, and scored in plenty all through this stretch.
Expect a high-scoring thriller in this final group-stage game between the two.
Juventus vs PSG
Europe – Champions League
Date: Wednesday, 2 November 2022
Kick-off at 21:00 UK/ 22:00 CET
Venue: Allianz Stadium.
The Parisians could be counted as the best team in Europe at the moment, after of course Manchester City. But it is no argument that their fearsome front trio is finally clicking, and they will be the favorites to pull off one more win this Wednesday against Juventus.
The Old Lady are just in so much mess. They are not even in the conversation for the title in the Serie A, and their European exploits this season has been simply subpar.
As of now they are placed second to last in the table, level with the dead-last placed Maccabi Haifa. They managed to win just once so far this whole campaign, and no points for guessing against whom the sole win was registered – Maccabi.
And more than that, apart from that win, the former Italian champions have a 100% losing record. After defeating Haifa at home, the Italians lost the very next fixture against the same opponent.
Also, disregarding the bottom-most placed team, the Italians scored the least number of goals as well as conceded the most in the group.
Meanwhile, the Parisians just got no chill. They scored the most in the group, and conceded the least. Just the last match-day, they slotted seven goals past their opponent, with all three of their front trio getting on the scoresheet.
Moreover, the reverse fixture also ended in a win for the French champions.
Surely expect the in-form PSG to deliver another win this Wednesday against the struggling Juventus.
Juventus vs PSG Head-to-head (h2h)
- The latest encounter ended in a 2-1 win for PSG.
- The last four clashes had goals from both teams.
- Previous four meetings had three or more goals.
- Not once have the hosts kept a clean sheet at this ground.
Juventus vs PSG Prediction & Analysis
Juventus lost their latest CL game by conceding four goals, and all through this season they have been struggling with their defense. On top of that they are already out of contention for a spot in the Round of 16, and now all that remains for them is a third-place finish.
On the other hand, the Parisians are going after the top-most spot. They are in great form, and they also defeated this rival in the reverse match-up.
It is also to be noted that the last Christophe Galtier’s men lost was back in March, against arch-rivals Monaco.
By the looks of things, surely expect a win for PSG this Wednesday. And considering that both teams will be going for a win, chances are high for goals to come in plenty
