USWNT vs Canada Women prediction, preview, team news and more | Olympics 2021 

The 2021 Olympics are back with another set of soccer matches this weekend as USWNT take on Canada Women in an important semi-final encounter. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and have a point to prove in this match.

USWNT have endured a mixed tournament so far and will need to be at their best to win a medal this year. The Stars and Stripes survived a scare against Netherlands Women in their previous game and will need to be more clinical in this fixture.

Canada Women, on the other hand, have exceeded expectations at the Olympics and can be a dangerous outfit on their day. The Canadians also had to win a penalty shoot-out against Brazil in the quarterfinals and will need to be at their best against USWNT.


USWNT vs Canada Women Head-to-Head

USWNT have an exceptional record against Canada and have won six matches out of seven games played between the two teams. Canada have never defeated USWNT in an official fixture and will need to play out of their skins in this match.

The previous meeting between the two North American rivals took place in February and ended in a 1-0 victory for USWNT. Canada Women gave a good account of themselves on the day but will need to take it up a notch this week.
