The United States, which is under the leadership of a new manager, only got the bronze medal in 2020 and didn’t medal at all in 2016. While the Americans are going through some changes, our USA vs Zambia betting picks won’t expect the Stars and Strips to lose their first match. This will be Zambia’s second-ever appearance in the Olympics.

English manager Emma Hayes stepped into one of the toughest jobs in women’s soccer. The United States always expects to win. While the competition hasn’t been steep through Hayes’ first four matches, the Americans have gone 3-1-0 (win-draw-loss). Check out our betting guide to see if they can maintain the pace.

USA vs Zambia Betting Preview

USA Lineup: A Sky Full of Stars

People making USA vs Zambia betting picks will see the Stars and Stripes have signaled that this is a step toward its next generation. The Americans left long-time star Alex Morgan at home for this event. That’s OK.

The United States has plenty of players who can help carry the load. Trinity Rodman is one of the Americans’ top players. Entering the tournament, the United States played to a disappointing scoreless draw with Costa Rica during its last friendly. The Americans will likely need some time to adjust to a new manager.

Sophia Smith and Mallory Swanson will have to help set the attack for the United States. Naomi Girma will be a key contributor on defense.

Zambia Will Have Work to Do

The Copper Queens have plenty of talented players who play club soccer in the United States. Racheal Kundanaji signed with Bay City FC and is the first Zambian player to score in the NWSL. Midfielder Grace Chanda should play a strong role for Zambia.

The Copper Queens also have five players who play for clubs in Israel, Kazakhstan, and Turkey.
