The United States National Women's Team (USNWT) will host Germany at Red Bull Arena in friendly on Sunday (November 13).
The USWNT endured their third straight defeat on Saturday, when they were stunned by Germany 2-1 at the DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale. The enthralling game looked headed for a 1-1 stalemate after Megan Rapinoe had equalised in the 85th minute. However, Paula Krumbiegel struck a minute ahead of full-time to hand the visitors the bragging rights.
The defeat also snapped the USWNT’s impressive 71-game home unbeaten streak spanning five years. The two teams will now renew their hostilities on Sunday with revenge in the air in Harrison. Although USWNT coach Vlatko Andonovski wasn’t too disappointed with the outcome, another setback could call into question his pedigree ahead of the 2023 World Cup.
Meanwhile, Germany appeared energetic and forceful throughout the game and look poised to replicate that performance on Sunday. The air of confidence they exuded pretty much made them look like the home team. Coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg will likely stick to her game plan of sucking the pressure and unleashing lightning counterattacks.
The visitors, though, will have to brace themselves for a relentless offensive that the USWNT are expected to unleash. While more than 16,000 fans attended the first game, many more are expected at the Red Bull Arena. Another win would be hugely uplifting for DFB-Frauenteam.

USNWT vs Germany Prediction
Captain Lindsey Horan and Megan Rapinoe will shoulder much of the responsibility of steering the USWNT back to winning ways in front of home fans.
The visitors will not be pushing for a win at all costs but will look to contain the Americans as much as possible while on the lookout for opportunities to hit on the counter.
USWNT players were crestfallen from the last defeat, but expect them to return as wounded lions seeking vengeance.
