After disappointing finishes at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, both Germany and the United States look for much bigger things this time around when they meet in a Group B matchup on Sunday at the 2024 Paris Olympics. After winning gold in Brazil in 2016, the Germans failed to qualify four years later, while the United States won a bronze medal after taking gold in four of the previous six Olympics. Germany opened up play on Thursday with a resounding 3-0 win over Australia. The Americans, meanwhile, were heavy favorites and cruised to a 3-0 victory over Zambia.
The match kicks off at 3 p.m. ET at Orange Vélodrome in Marseille, France. The United States are the +118 favorites (risk $100 to win $118) in the latest USWNT vs. Germany odds, with Germany at +195.
