Zambia – Japan Women Preview: Form, Team News, and Probable Lineups
Read the latest news and updates on both teams right here, including our predicted Zambia vs Japan Women lineups:
Zambia Women
For the first time in national's team history, Zambia will play at a World Cup for women, which is a pretty great result for a team that's ranked 77th in the FIFA rankings. Meanwhile, Zambia seems ready for this competition and they had some impressive results in the friendly matches leading to the tournament, so their fans are probably hoping to see them in the next stage, although that will be a tough task
Zambia Women Predicted Lineup:
Musonda – Tembo, Mweemba, Musase, Belemu – Katongo, Banda, Lubanji – Chitundu, Banda, Kundananji
Japan Women
After two final appearances in a row in 2011 and 2015 against the USA, the first one of which they've won to become the champions of the world to the surprise of everyone, Japan only reached the Round of 16 at the last World Cup. Now, they are ready to go again and they certainly hope to reach the latter stages of the tournament once again.
Japan Women Predicted Lineup:
Yamashita – Minami, Kumagai, Ishikawa – Endo, Nagano, Hasegawa, Shimizu – Miyazawa, Tanaka, Ueki
Starting Lineups
Teams often announce their lineups one hour before the kickoff.

Player to Watch: Yui Hasegawa
Since Japan is the favourite and we can see them winning this match, our player to watch comes from their side and it is one of a few players who play in England, Yui Hasegawa.
The Man City's midfielder is one of the best players on the team and she already notched 65 appearances for Japan despite still being just 26 years old. In any case, Zambia should be wary of Hasegawa in this match.
