Japan: Last defeated the USWNT in 2012USWNT vs. Japan picks: See picks at SportsLineWhy you should back USWNTThe U.S. have an opportunity to win their first gold medal since the 2012 London Games thanks to their outstanding offense in this tournament. Mallory Swanson has led the way with three goals in the matches, while Sophia Smith and Trinity Rodman have each scored twice. While the expert sees some breakdowns on defense, the United States’ red-hot offense outscored their group stage opponents 9-2.

It doesn’t hurt that the USWNT also have the upper-hand in the all-around series against Japan. The U.S. lead the overall head-to-head 29-8-1, going 8-4-0 in the 12 games since last losing to Japan in 2012. See which team to pick here.

Why you should back JapanThe U.S. aren’t the only squad packing an offensive punch at the Summer Games. Japan have found the back of the net in each of their group stage matches and their solo loss was to Spain, who top the FIFA world ranking after winning the World Cup.

Japan have also shown that they can bounce back from being behind. In Matchday 2, Japan trailed Brazil 1-0 until Saki Kumagai and Momoko Tanikawa scored in stoppage time. They followed that game up with a 3-1 victory against Nigeria to get into the knockout round, so they should be confident underdogs heading into Saturday’s match. See which team to pick here.
