Spain will square it off with Zambia in their second Group C match on Wednesday at the Eden Park Stadium as they seek to record their second consecutive victory, while Zambia will be aiming to revive their hopes of advancing to the next round.
La Roja opened their campaign with a 3-0 victory over Costa Rica, while the Copper Queens suffered a 5-0 defeat to Japan last Saturday.
A victory for Spain could see them book a place in the knockout stages with a game to spare. Zambia, on the other hand, will need to win to stand a chance of making it to the knockout stages.
The copper queens will bow out of the competition if they lose on Wednesday.

Players to Watch
Salma Paralluelo (Spain)
The 19-year-old Barcelona winger is one of the youngest talents that Spain can boast of. She has good speed on the wing, her dribbling skills are top-class, and is best known for quick and classy passes and has a dangerous left foot. She was brilliant against Costa Rica despite not finding the back of the net.
Rachael Kundananji: Zambia
While the attention is on Olympic record breaker Barbra Banda, the Spain-based striker is another player to watch in this game. She had an impressive season at Madrid CFF last season having scored 25 goals to finish Liga F as the second-highest scorer.

Despite her underwhelming performance against Japan, the 23-year-old striker will be expected to rise to the occasion alongside Banda against Spain.
BETTING TIP: Both teams to score and either Spain or Zambia to win.
