Spain vs Zambia Prediction & Pick
Spain's the lopsided favorite here, which isn't too surprising given that it has the second-best odds (+320) to win the World Cup on FanDuel Sportsbook. It also helps that Spain finds itself entering this clash on a seven-match winning streak, averaging a whopping 4.4 goals per game during that run.
Meanwhile, it's hard to put much faith in Zambia. The Copper Queens only have one victory in their six previous clashes, allowing at least five goals thrice over that span. It's also the first-ever time that Zambia has qualified for the World Cup, meaning the lack of experience will hurt in the end.
Aft er Zambia was destroyed by Japan, I see the high-octane Spanish offense finding similar success. Spain is destined to do great things in this tournament and won't be slowed down by its lowly opponent.
Final Score Prediction:'Spain: 5 | Zambia: 0
Spain vs Zambia Best Bet
For this match's best bet, I'm taking Spain to score more than 4.5 goals. While that's a big ask from some teams, Spain has scored more than five goals twice in its last four outings, including a nine-goal performance back on July 13. After Zambia struggled to stop anything Japan sent its way, Spain won't h ave an issue filling the goal Wednesday.
