Defending champions Canada will look to continue their winning streak but face the might of Germany in the quarterfinals of the 2024 Paris Olympics women’s football tournament. This match at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille on Saturday is expected to be a high-octane clash with a high number of goals.

Canada finished second in Group A, while Germany was second in Group B. The winner of this match goes on to play the winner of the United States vs Japan fixture in the semi-finals. Canada were handed a six-point penalty earlier in the tournament for a drone spying scandal, but they have won all three group games to finish second in their group behind France.

They had identical wins with a 2-1 scoreline against New Zealand and France before ending their group stage with a 1-0 win over Colombia. That was enough to pip them to the second spot and qualify. They have form in their stride coming here, as the Canadians have won four of their last five matches while drawing the other match.

Germany won’t be an easy opponent, as the 2016 edition champions qualified behind the United States in Group B with two wins and a defeat. Their wins have been comprehensive, 3-0 against Australia and 4-1 against Zambia. That said, Germany was also beaten 4-1 by the United States, so they are prone to errors at the back.

With a place in the last four at stake, both teams will be looking to push hard for their success. Can the two old rivals dish out another exciting contest? All signs point to an interesting encounter laced with goals.
