The USA women's football team is the most successful in Olympic Games history, with four gold medals. They came to Paris 2024 with ambitions to win their first gold since 2012. In the group phase, the USA didn't have a real opponent, so they finished with nine points from three matches. USA started the competition with big wins against Zambia and Germany, while in the last group round, Emma Hayes' team secured a 2-1 win against Australia. The USA finished that game with 67% ball possession and 13 shots on the goal more than the opponent, so that was another excellent performance.
Japan's women's football team's biggest success was in London in 2012 when they lost 2-1 in the final against the USA. This year, Japan started with a loss against Spain, but after that came wins over Brazil (2-1) and Nigeria (3-1), and that was enough for Futoshi Ikeda's team to finish second in the group and progress to the knockout phase. In both wins, Japan produces high-quality performances with a lot of shots on the goal. They are likely to be a little more cautious in the game against the USA.
USA vs Japan pick: Over 2.5 goals
The USA scored nine goals in three Olympic Games matches, while Japan scored six goals so far. We should expect another high-scoring game from these teams.

USA W team news
In the last few months, USA women's player Korbin Albert has become one of the most hated sportswomen in the USA after the controversy surrounding Megan Rapinoe's career-ending injury. However, it seems that there is space for redemption after Albert scored in the previous game against Australia. USA's head coach Emma Hayes said about Albert after the match that we all know what she has gone through and that Albert is truly sorry for everything she has done. Hayes continued, "She's had to do a fair bit of growing up." Euphoria about the USA women's team is reaching new levels, and Albert's goal and chance for redemption could make the team even stronger.

Japan W team news
Japan secured the knockout phase with a 3-1 win against Nigeria. After the game, the head coach, Futoshi Ikeda, said, "Of course, there is fatigue, or rather, the fact that it is the third match with only two days in between, and we have fought, but we have recovered well and traveled. "We are used to that rhythm, so we were able to use the two days properly as usual and prepare well."
