Costa Rica vs Zambia Women’s FIFA World Cup Predictions 7/31/2023

Zambia, although they started slowly in the tournament, possesses offensive potential, with Barbra Banda as a promising star.

Both teams have their strengths and weaknesses. While Zambia poses a threat from the CAF region, they couldn’t secure wins against Spain and Japan in their group.

They aim to end their World Cup journey on a positive note by securing at least a draw in this match.
