Zambia Women vs Japan Women Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 22nd July 2023

Zambia go up against Japan in a game played out at Waikato Stadium this coming Saturday. The upcoming clash will be their first outing in the World Cup.
We are entering the first round of the World Cup group stage with Zambia and Japan hoping this is only the first of many matches coming up.
Zambia could be on a hiding to nothing, when setting off their World Cup campaign as hefty outsider at Waikato Stadium. It has the look of trying to minimize defeat at Waikato Stadium on 22 July.
Three points look like a given for Japan, when they open their campaign at Waikato Stadium. It would be astounding to see the favourites leave behind points, when considered such big favourites.
Zambia Women vs Japan Women Preview
Zambia Form
Zambia only added a single point to their account in their last three games, where they lost 3-2 against Rep. of Ireland, before a 3-3 draw with Switzerland. They managed to beat Germany 3-2 in their final outing before the World Cup.
Japan Form
Japan beat Portugal 2-1 before losing 1-0 against Denmark. In their final match before the World Cup they took down Panama by 5-0.
Japan were able to win five of their previous 10 internationals across all tournaments, while suffering five defeats as well.
We trust neither defence to be able to keep their opponent at bay, when Zambia welcome Japan on Saturday. Goals should be flowing at both ends of the pitch.
