USA W vs Germany W Prediction & Betting Tips (28 July)

Unlike the men's side, the United States was, for many years, the terror of international football. They have in fact 4 world championship titles and 4 Olympic gold medals, which makes them, by far, the best list in the world. However, Team USA has lost its luster for some time. “Only” bronze medalists in Tokyo in 2021, the Yankees were then eliminated in the 1/8 finals of the last World Cup. Arriving in good shape in France with 3 wins in 4 friendly matches, the Americans got off to an ideal start in this tournament with a fairly large victory against Zambia 3-0.

Germany, for its part, is coming out of a terrible disillusionment experienced in 2023 when she was eliminated in the first round of the World Cup. A failure that had never happened to him before in his history. Since then, the Mannschaft has taken 3rd place in the Nations League by beating the Netherlands 0-2 in the small final, then it has 4 successes in 5 matches before arriving for this Olympic tournament where it counts set the record straight. Moreover, on Thursday evening, the Germans gave Australia no chance 3-0 and therefore left their mark in this group B.

The American group is missing Kristie Mewis (West Ham, 53 salts) and Alex Morgan (224 salts, 123 pawns) who were not selected by their coach. However, the United States retains many interesting cards in its squad, such as Lyonnaise Lindsey Horan (149 caps, 35 goals), Parisian Albert, Gunner Emily Fox (50 caps). Up front, Team USA should once again rely on the very interesting Swanson (93 caps, 36 pawns), author of a double against Zambia. Trinity Rodman, daughter of the famous Dennis Rodman, opened the scoring. Sophia Smith (49 sel, 19 goals) could forfeit after coming off injured at the end of the first period.

The leading figure of this German team remains captain Alexandra Popp who was lined up in the heart of the game against the Australians and who put in a great performance (140 sels, 67 achievements). Like the vast majority of her teammates, she plays in the country. This is also the case of the formidable Lea Schüller (Bayern, 43 goals in 63 seasons) who opened her goal counter Thursday evening in the tournament. The two other German achievements were the work of defender Hegering (Wolfsburg) and the very young Jule Brand (21 years 48 sel, 9 goals).
