The USA Women and Portugal Women will trade tackles in an international friendly on Sunday (October 26th). The game will be played at Pratt and Whitney Stadium.
The game will be the second of the double-header friendlies between the two nations in this window. Portugal claimed a comeback 2-1 victory in the first game in midweek.
Rose Lavelle broke the deadlock just three seconds into the game to seemingly put the USWNT on course for a routine win. However, Diana Gomes equalized four minutes before the break. Fatima Pinto scored in the 72nd minute to help A Selecção das Quinas complete the turnaround and claim a surprise victory.
The USA have another friendly lined up against New Zealand in this window before facing Italy in a double-header friendly next month. This will be Portugal's last game in this window before facing The Netherlands and Brazil in the next window.

USA Women vs Portugal Women Prediction
The USA would have been disappointed to have seen their five-game winning run ended last time out. They have an opportunity to bounce back immediately and are the heavy favorites to emerge victorious.
Portugal claimed a shock first head-to-head victory at the 12th time of asking. The size of the shock they registered is highlighted by the fact that the Iberians were on an eight-game winless run prior to that win (six losses).
Barring another unlikely upset, there should only be one winner here. We expect the hosts to claim a multi-goal victory in addition to a clean sheet.
Prediction: USA Women 4-0 Portugal Women
