Zambia team news and form: Zambia have nothing to lose

It was bad luck to be drawn in the same group as the USWNT. However, Belemu and her teammates will enjoy a pressure-free game at Stade de Nice. No one expects them to win. Maybe this will help them get something out of the game.

Predicted lineup: Musonda (GK), Mweeba, Tembo, Musesa, Belemu, Banda, Kundanadji, Katondo, Chanda, Chitundu & Banda

Player to watch: Mallory Swanson

Swanson is one of the key players for the USWNT in recent years. The 26-year-old striker is proving to be a valuable asset for Chicago Red Stars as well. She scored seven goals and supplied teammates with three assists in 15 league games so far this season.

Second player to watch: Korbin Albert

Playing for Paris Saint-Germain isn’t for everyone. However, Albert is one of the key players for the French giants. Seeing as she already has experience performing at French venues, we trust she will help our USWNT vs Zambia predictions succeed.
