In the match on Saturday at the Parc des Princes, USA Women and Japan Women will compete for a spot in the Olympic semi-finals.
With all eight points, the Stars and Stripes emerged victorious from their group, while Japan qualified for the round of eight with six points from three games.
As the USA's manager, Emma Hayes has led her team to five wins from her first six games (D1), including three triumphs in the Olympic group stage.
With one game remaining in their campaign, the Stars and Stripes advanced to the quarterfinals after defeating Germany 4-1 after starting the campaign with a convincing 3-0 victory against Zambia.
Following that, the USA defeated Australia 2-1 to clinch first place in Group B, with goals from Trinity Rodman and Korbin Albert.
The United States will believe they have a genuine opportunity to capture a sixth gold medal and their first since winning the women's football event in the 2012 Olympic competition after winning all three of their group matches.
Having won nine of their previous 13 matches, including a 2-1 victory in their April SheBelieves Cup match, USA will fancy their chances of defeating Japan.
Japan, who overcame a poor start to secure second place in Group C, will make their seventh appearance in the Olympic knockout stages.
After suffering a knock in the second group game against Australia, Tierna Davidson was forced to skip the match. The USA will now need to evaluate her level of fitness.
Due to a leg injury, forward Jaedyn Shaw is also questionable for Saturday's encounter. He missed the first three group matches.
Following her team's victory over Australia on Wednesday, Hayes may choose to start the quarterfinal with the same squad.
Japan will not be able to use Risa Shimizu of Manchester City, who suffered a tournament-ending knee injury in the first game against Spain.
Moeka Minami of Roma is probably going to be back in the starting lineup, playing next to Saki Kumagai and Hana Takahashi, two other center defenders.
