USWNT vs Japan lineups
In this chapter of our article, you’ll familiarize yourselves with the predicted USWNT vs Japan lineups.
USWNT lineup – injuries, suspensions, and other news
The below-mentioned players were the ones coach Emma Hayes used in the match against Australia a couple of days ago. Trinity Rodman and backup Korbin Albert scored the winning goals for the USWNT in the 2-1 victory over the Aussie side and we are sure that these two will get minutes versus Japan as well.
USWNT predicted lineup: Naeher (GK), Girma, Sonnetti, Dunn, Fox, Coffey, Horan, Lavelle, Rodman, Smith & Swanson
Player to watch: Mallory Swanson
Unsurprisingly, Swanson was a starter for coach Hayes in the group-stage match versus Australia a couple of days ago. Sure, she was substituted in the second half of the game, but she remains the USWNT’s brightest star and we are convinced she will shine on the 3rd of August.
Japan lineup – injuries, suspensions, and other news
Japan did well to advance to the next stage of the competition via a 3-1 win over Nigeria. Tanaka was one of the big heroes for her squad and we are sure she will be among the starters in the match against the USWNT as well.
Japan predicted lineup: Yamashita (GK), Kumagai, Takahashi, Moriya, Ishikawa, Kitagawa, Hayashi, Hamano, Hasegawa, Tanaka & Ueki
Player to watch: Mina Tanaka
Tanaka did what she had to do to help her team get a vital win over Nigeria a couple of days ago. She scored a lovely 32nd-minute goal for her team, which helped the team beat the African side 3-1, despite seeing less of the ball, with 43.0% possession.
