• Head-to-head:
Germany has won 15 of its 17 encounters against Canada dating back to their first meeting vs. each other in 1994. Canada’s only other win in the series came during the group stage of the 2016 Rio Olympics, where the Germans went on to win the gold medal.
Canada is riding a 10-game unbeaten run at the Olympics. Coincidentally enough, its last defeat in the tournament came in 2016 when it lost 2-0 to Germany in the semifinals, as the Europeans exacted a measure of revenge for their group-stage loss to the Canadians.
