Zambia and the United States Women's National Team kick off the 2024 Paris Olympics with a Group B soccer matchup on Thursday in Nice, France. The Americans have been on quite the roll. After losing 2-0 to Mexico in the group stage of the Gold Cup on Feb. 26, they have not lost since, going 6-0-3 en route to the Gold Cup and SheBelieves Cup titles in March and April. Zambia, meanwhile, have also played well and are 10-4-3 since the 2023 FIFA World Cup group stage last July. The USWNT has earned six medals, including four gold, one silver and one bronze, since 1996, the year women's soccer was introduced at the Olympic Games.

The match at Allianz Riviera gets underway at 3 p.m. ET. The Americans are the -3000 favorites (risk $3,000 to win $100) in the latest USWNT vs. Zambia odds, with Zambia as the +5000 underdog. A draw is priced at +1300 and the over/under for total goals scored is 3.5.
