Game 1: Group A – Australia vs. Canada (8 a.m. ET)

Australia is coming off a huge 15-14 win over the Netherlands in penalty shootouts, and is unbeaten through two games in Paris.

Canada picked up its first win of the tournament on Tuesday in a 12-7 win over China.

Game 2: Group B – Greece vs. Italy (9:35 a.m. ET)

Greece and Italy, ranked Nos. 4 and 5 in the Group B standings, both need wins to stay out of the basement. The fifth place team will be eliminated following pool play.

Greece was narrowly defeated by top ranked Spain on Thursday, while Italy was soundly beat by the U.S. The three goals scored by Italy in the loss marked the fewest any team has scored in a game in Paris. 

It's been a surprising tournament for two teams that had high hopes coming to Paris. In the most recent world championships, Italy finished third and Greece finished fourth.

Game 3: Group B – United States vs. France (12:30 p.m. ET)

The United States, three-time defending gold medalists, will have to face another strong defense when it takes on France, one of the bigger surprises of these Olympics. France was off on Tuesday and defeated Italy for the country’s first ever women’s water polo win in the Olympics. The home team is playing in the Olympics for the first time.

Game 4: Group A – China vs. Hungary (2:05 p.m. ET)

Hungary also had the day off on Tuesday. Through two games the European country is averaging 10 goals per game and allowing 8.5. The Hungarians will take on China, the only winless team in Group A.
