**USA Women vs Portugal Women: International Friendly Preview and Prediction**
The USA Women’s National Team will face Portugal Women in an international friendly on Sunday, October 26th. The match will take place at Pratt and Whitney Stadium and marks the second game in a double-header friendly series between the two nations during this international window.
In the first encounter earlier this week, Portugal secured a surprising 2-1 comeback victory. Rose Lavelle opened the scoring for the USWNT just three seconds into the match, setting the stage for what seemed like a routine win for the USA. However, Portugal responded before halftime when Diana Gomes equalized. Later, Fatima Pinto scored in the 72nd minute to complete the turnaround, giving A Selecção das Quinas a memorable win.
Looking ahead, the USA have another friendly lined up against New Zealand during this window before taking on Italy in a double-header next month. Meanwhile, Portugal will conclude their fixtures this window with the match against the USA and then face The Netherlands and Brazil in the following international window.

### Match Prediction
The USA will be eager to bounce back after their five-game winning streak was halted in their last match. As heavy favorites, they look set to secure a convincing win on home soil.
Portugal’s recent victory against the USA was a shock, especially considering it came after an eight-game winless streak. However, another upset appears unlikely given the form and quality gap between the two sides.
