Canada Women: Still on course for title defence
After back-to-back third-place finishes, Canada won their first title at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Their title defence hit a snag after they were hit with a six-point deduction due to a drone scandal. Despite this, Spencer's side finished as runners-up in Group A, securing a quarter-final spot for the fifth consecutive Olympic event.
Predicted lineup: Sheridan (GK), Buchanan, Gilles, Rose, Lawrence, Grosso, Fleming, Beckie, Lacasse, Huitema & Leon.

Germany Women: Sights set on their fifth semi-final appearance
Germany won their first title in 2016, defeating Canada en route to the final. However, not only did they fail to defend their title, but they were also unable to qualify for the tournament. It will be interesting to see if Horst Hrubesch’s side can eliminate the defending champions.
Predicted lineup: Berger (GK), Rauch, Solano, Doorsoun-Khajeh, Gwinn, Buhl, Popp, Minge, Brand, Nusken & Schuller.
