The United States and Germany are 90 minutes away from the gold medal match when the two giants of women’s soccer meet for the second time this summer in the semifinals of the 2024 Olympic Games in France.
A dominant 4-1 victory went in favor of the U.S. women’s national team when these two teams met in the group stage, but Germany advanced as the second seed and edged out Canada on penalties in the quarterfinals after a scoreless draw.
In the previous match, the United States also faced a major challenge: Trinity Rodman needed a game-winning goal in overtime to overcome Japan in a valiant performance against an opponent who was in a difficult defensive position. The game was tense for much of the match as the United States struggled to generate an offensive output similar to what it had in the group stage, but it eventually managed to survive and advance.

USWNT vs Germany lineups, team news
Head coach Emma Hayes said everyone on the team trained fully on Monday, which seems to suggest everyone will be available for this match.
That includes Emily foxwho retired at the end of the quarter-final with what appeared to be a painful ankle injury, and Tender Davidson who was injured in the second group match and was not available for either the group final or the quarter-finals. Sam Coffey returns to midfield following his yellow card suspension, while all other cautioned players see their accumulation removed.
USA’s predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): (GK) — Fox, Girma, Davidson, Dunn — Horan, Coffey, Lavelle — Rodman, S. Smith, Swanson.
Kathrin-Julia Hendrich In the final group game against Zambia, he was initially withdrawn, but he started in the quarter-finals and played all 120 minutes. No German player has been suspended for a yellow card and from then on, all cards are erased.
However, they are without the young midfield star. Lena Oberdorf who suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament just weeks before the Olympics began.
Predicted XI for Germany (4-4-2 from right to left): Berger (GK) – Gwinn, Hendrich, Hegering, Rauch – Brand, Minge, Nusken, Buhl – Popp, Schuller.
USWNT vs. Germany Prediction
The U.S. has generally struggled against a defensive opponent that deploys a low block, but that’s not Germany’s style. They allowed a whopping 22 shots to Canada in the scoreless quarterfinal draw, and the Americans failed to score on three big chances.
Despite the tough job it endured against Japan in the quarterfinals, the U.S. is much better prepared to play an opponent like Germany, and even if it does concede, it will be expected to generate enough scoring opportunities to reach the final in similar fashion to its group win.
Prediction: United States 3-1 Germany
