Neither of these two countries were particularly impressive in their Quarter-Final ties but both did just enough to progress.
The USA faced Germany during the group stage of the Paris Olympics and came away with an emphatic 4-1 victory but we're expecting Tuesday's Semi-Final to be much more close and competitive.

USA Women preview: Needed extra-time to beat Japan
The USA women were the big favourite to progress through to the Semi-Finals in Paris having been drawn against Japan in the Quarter-Finals.
Despite their good record against the Asian side, the North Americans failed to score during the opening 90 minutes and the game went into extra-time.
As the first 15 minutes of extra-time approached its conclusion, Trinity Rodman found some space and managed to break the deadlock for Team USA and book their place in the Semi-Finals.
Predicted lineup: Naeher (GK), Sonnett, Girma, Fox, Dunn, Horan, Lavelle, Albert, Swanson, Smith & Rodman

Germany Women preview: Only beat Canada via penalties
Much like the USA vs Japan game, Germany's Quarter-Final against Canada ended goalless after 90 minutes.
However, unlike the USA, Germany were unable to carve out a winning goal in extra time, instead their game was decided via a penalty shoot-out.
Germany did miss one of their opening five penalties but luckily for them, Canada missed two of their opening four and the Europeans booked their place in the Semi-Finals where they will be out for revenge against a USA side that beat them 4-1 in the group stage.
Predicted lineup: Berger (GK), Hegering, Hendrich, Rauch, Gwinn, Minge, Nüsken, Brand, Popp, Schüller & Bühl

Player to watch – Mallory Swanson
Mallory Swanson has played a vital role for the USA women in their progression through to the Semi-Finals of the 2024 Olympics, and we're backing her to impress once again against Germany on Tuesday.
The 26-year-old striker joint-top scores for her country in Paris with three goals and came into this competition having scored seven goals in 15 league games for Chicago Red Stars.
The USA forward has impressed at the 2024 Olympics
While it was her teammate and fellow top scorer Trinity Rodman who earned the plaudits in the Quarter-Final, we're expecting the limelight to fall back on Swanson when the USA take on Germany for the second time at these Olympics.
