National anthems done, handshakes done - almost time to rock and roll.

This is Zambia's first Women's World Cup and they are the lowest ranked team in it, at 77th in the world.

Spain are sixth.

Spain had 46 shots in their opening World Cup game and Zambia didn't have any.

Spain boss Jorge Vilda: "It's a very important game and I'm expecting a very dangerous Zambia.

"I'm expecting a team that's going to defend well and is going to be very, very dangerous on the counter-attack.

"It won't be an easy game at all."

The way Aitana Bonmati manipulates the ball and is able to make the game look like she's got so much time and space, that's the sign of a world-class player.

Zambia will hopefully have learnt from what happened to them in their first game but the scoreline here depends a lot on Spain, who have a tendency of taking their foot off the gas a little bit.

I still think Spain will win and go through, but it could be a closer contest than their win over Costa Rica.

Zambia need to be a bit smarter and a lot tighter at the back but they also need to improve in attack.

They didn't get the ball up to Barbra Banda at all against Japan but I think she will score this time, although it might just be a consolation goal.

Prediction: 3-1

Huge news for them. Zambia will have looked at the team sheet hoping that she wouldn't be part of the line-up.

She needs to get minutes, and what a game to bring her back into!

Two-time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas came on as a second-half substitute in Spain's win over Costa Rica.

The 29-year-old Barcelona captain is recovering from a serious knee injury that saw her miss Euro 2022.

Boss Jorge Vilda said: "In the 15 minutes that she played the other day she showed that everything was fine.

"The training sessions, she's completed them very well and kept up a very high rhythm. It's an ongoing process and we're very happy with her progress."

She starts today.

Zambia suffered one of the biggest defeats in the first round of games as they were hammered 5-0 by Japan.

Spain come into this game in good mood after bashing Costa Rica 3-0 in their opening match in Wellington.

Aitana Bonmati and Esther Gonzalez netted after an own goal opener.

Zambia captain Barbra Banda says the Copper Queens are "up for the challenge".

"Spain re a not a pushover team, we are expecting a tough game but we are up for the challenge," said the Shanghai Shengli player.

"We've looked into our mistakes from the previous game and we are just hoping to collect the maximum three points.

"We started with a loss but that doesn't mean that we have to look down on ourselves.

"We have two more games and are still motivated as a team and encouraging each other that we can still go through to the next round."

Opta give Spain a 93.1% chance of winning this, with Zambia at 3%.

The permutations here are quite simple.

If Spain win, they are through and Zambia are out.

A draw and both things would be almost guaranteed because of an eight-goal gap in goal difference.

Japan beat Costa Rica 2-0 in the day's first game and would also progress if the Spanish win.

That would make their final group meeting a clash for top spot.

Two-time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas makes her first start of the tournament for Spain, after coming on as a substitute in the win over Costa Rica.

The Barcelona star's appearance is one of two changes, along with her club team-mate Mariona Caldentey also starting, while Esther Gonzalez and Athenea del Castillo drop to the bench.

Spain XI: Rodriguez, Batlle, Paredes, Andres, Bonmati, Abelleira, Caldentey, Hermoso, Putellas, Paralluelo, Carmona.

Subs: Salon, Coll, Guerrero, Gonzalez, Hernandez, Codina, Navarro, Perez, Redondo, Galvez, Zornoza, Del Castillo.

Zambia make one enforced change to the side that was thrashed 5-0 by Japan in the opening game.

Goalkeeper Catherine Musonda, who was sent off for two yellow cards in that match, is replaced by Eunice Sakala.

Zambia XI: Sakala, Mweemba, Banda, Belemu, Banda, Katongo, Tembo, Lungu, Musesa, Kundananji, Mapepa.

Subs: Lungu, Soko, Mulenga, Wilombe, Lubandji, Mubanga, Selemani, Chanda, Chitundu, Banda, Phiri, Musonda.
