After a 16-year absence, the Super Falcons will make their Olympic Games return with a crucial match against Brazil at the Matmut Atlantique Stadium in Bordeaux later today (Thursday, July 25). This exciting encounter pits two continental giants against each other.

The Super Falcons, Africa's women's football queens, have won nine Women's Africa Cup of Nations titles while Brazil's Seleção Brasileira Feminina is South America's most successful team with eight Copa America Feminina titles out of nine.

In their last meeting at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Brazil defeated Nigeria 3-1 in the group stage.

Randy Waldrum's side aims to start their campaign on a positive note when they face Brazil at 7:00 pm tonight.

Here's how Waldrum might set up his team against the South American giants, as predicted by Soccernetng:

Goalkeeper: Chiamaka Nnadozie of PSG is expected to start in between the sticks.

Defenders: Tosin Demehin returns to the squad and will likely partner with Osinachi Ohale at center back.

Michelle Alozie will continue at right back, with Chidinma Okeke on the left.

Midfielders: Halimatu Ayinde, Christy Ucheibe, and Deborah Abiodun will anchor the midfield, providing stability and creativity against Brazil.

Forwards: Asisat Oshoala, with no reported fitness issues, will lead the attack. Uchenna Kanu will take up the right flank, with Rasheedat Ajibade on the left.

Possible Super Falcons: Nnadozie; Alozie, Ohale, Demehin, Okeke; Ayinde, Ucheibe, Abiodun; Ajibade, Oshoala, Kanu.

Formation: 4-3-3
