You won't catch Canada taking anything for granted as they make final preparations for Saturday's quarterfinal tilt against Germany.
Les Rouges ran the table in the group stage, winning three straight to overcome a mountainous six-point deduction. Driven by defiance, pride, and unparalleled collective resilience, Canada are (somewhat surprisingly) well-positioned to defend their Olympic title.
Germany, who won the gold medal at Rio de Janeiro in 2016, played well in their two comprehensive victories against Zambia and Spain on either side of a rare dud against the Americans. Germany's 4-1 loss to the US was their most lopsided loss in years.
Our Canada vs. Germany odds, picks, and predictions focus on which team will advance to the semifinals while offering our most probable goal scorer.
The fourth-ranked Germans are the favorites acro ss our best sports betting sites, but the eighth-ranked Canadians have worn the underdog tag exceptionally well thus far, even drawing inspiration from it.

Canada vs. Germany score prediction
Canada don't do anything the easy way. And while I expect Les Rouges to overcome the mounting odds again, Germany will be an especially tough nut to crack. Canada won six and tied four of their previous 10 matches.
Except for a 2-0 victory over Mexico on June 1, all but one of those victories were decided by a single goal.
While three goals decided each of their three group matches, Germany are usually involved in tightly contested, nip-and-tuck affairs. Of Germany's 11 matches before the Olympics, 10 were decided by one goal. The lone exception came on July 24 when Germany thrashed Morocco 6-0.
And there's no way Canada are getting blown out in this one. Not with the iron-clad camaraderie and solidarity that has developed among the players since the early-tournament drone fiasco.
I feel this one has extra time – and possibly penalties – written all over it. The +600 odds will yield a profit of $60 on a $10 bet if the match ends in a 1-1 deadlock after 90 minutes.
Odds: +600 | Implied probability: 14.29%
Canada vs. Germany anytime goal scorer prediction
Lea Schull er is one of the most prolific goal scorers on the international stage. She has 39 goals in 36 starts for Germany and netted three times during the group stage. Schuller has a 50% goal rate in major tournaments, scoring six goals in 12 World Cup, European Championship, and Olympic matches.
Blessed with excellent technique and bullish power, Schuller is superb with the ball at her feet, driving at defenses. The 26-year-old struggled against the Americans but fired six shots on target against Zambia and Australia.
A $10 bet will earn a $16.20 profit if Schuller scores a goal before the full-time whistle.
Odds: +162 | Implied probability: 38.17%
Canada vs. Germany best bet
Germany's group stage closely mirrored their pre-tournament form.
Blighted by inconsistency, Germany were outstanding against Zambia and Australia but struggled mightily against the USA. Prior to the tournament, Germany tied the Republic of Korea and won unconvincingly over Zambia (3-2) and Vietnam (2-1) while losing to Brazil (2-1).
That inconsistency and pr opensity for a what-has-she-done moment, coupled with Canada's undeniable momentum and aura of invincibility, should result in Canada prevailing. A winning $10 bet will profit $13.50.
Odds: +135 | Implied probability: 42.55%
