Canada vs. Germany: Team Form
On the other hand, the German women's national team, coached by German Horst Hrubescht, is one of the strongest teams in this final phase of women's soccer at the Olympic Games due to the high quality of its roster.
The German team has a lot of experience in the Olympic Games and, in fact, has already been on the top of the podium. In Rio 2016 was the last time Germany won the gold medal in this discipline, something they could not repeat in Tokyo 2020 as they failed to qualify for the Olympics. In their most recent match, the Germans soundly defeated the Zambian national team by a score of 4-1. Germany finished second in their group with 6 points from two wins (Zambia and Australia), behind only the Americans, who, by the way, only the Americans were able to beat the Europeans in the group stage.
The Canadian national team, coached by British Bev Priestman, arrives at a new edition of the Olympic Games where they have a very clear objective: to return to the podium wearing the gold medal again.
The Canadian team qualified for Paris by being placed in Group A with France, Colombia and New Zealand. Following a drone spying scandal, Canada received a six-point suspension and a one-year ban for coach Bev Priestman. Despite not being disqualified, Canada managed three wins, but because of the six-point suspension, the Canadians managed to qualify as second place with 3 points, ahead of the Colombians by better goal difference (+3) and thus start the road to the Olympic bicampeonato.
In their most recent match, the Canadian team achieved an important victory by a score of 0-1 with a solitary goal by Vanessa Gilles in the 61st minute.
