United States vs Germany: Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Women's football at Paris Olympics 2024

Both sides will be hoping to book their spot in the final where they will face either Spain or Brazil.

The United States women’s national team will play Germany in the semi-final of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games on Tuesday at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Lyon. It promises to be an exciting match.

The U.S. women’s squad have been a powerhouse throughout the competition, led by former Chelsea manager Emma Hayes. They easily won the group stage and faced a formidable opponent in Japan in the quarterfinals. They qualified for the semi-finals thanks to a single goal by Trinity Rodman in extra time.

Germany had a more difficult time getting to the semi-finals. After a goalless 120 minutes, they narrowly advanced to the quarterfinals against Canada through a penalty shootout.

With two penalty saves and the game-winning spot kick that sent Germany through, Ann-Katrin Berger’s heroics saved them. Germany had previously demonstrated their attacking ability with victories of 3-0 over Australia and 4-1 over Zambia. They have something to prove after losing to the United States in the group round.

Players to watch

Lindsey Horan (United States)

Horan operates from the middle of the pitch and has been featured in almost every game. She will once again have a big role to play when the United States faces Germany. Horan will use her attributes to control the game and create goalscoring chances.

Klara Bühl (Germany)

Buhl has been Germany‘s most important attacking player who causes big problems for her opposition. The 23-year-old possesses excellent ability to beat her defenders in one-on-one situations and she will be looking to pounce on any mistake by her opposition.

Injury and team news

Germany can almost deploy the same lineup that defeated Canada. There are no fresh injuries or suspension issues.
