Italy meet Argentina on Monday in a huge Group G encounter. Both sides are tipped to make strong runs in the competition, but defeat in this game could put a huge dent in those ambitions.
If you want to enhance your enjoyment of the game, you have come to the perfect place. Our expert tip for the game aims to give you a big betting bonus.
Italy have been in rebuild mode following an awful Euro 2022 campaign that saw them knocked out in the group stage. They have been unbeaten since then, although they have had a fairly weak schedule of fixtures. If they are to match their excellent run to the last eight in 2019, they will need to start with a bang on Monday.
This is one of the youngest squads in the tournament, with a host of players in their early 20s. Much is expected of Roma midfielder, Manuela Giuglino, whilst teenage playmaker Giulia Dragoni is one of the best young players in the game.
Six wins and a draw in their last seven games mean that Argentina come into the World Cup in excellent form. They will be hoping to improve on a dreadful 2019 campaign that saw them eliminated at the group stage without a win to their name.
Goals have been the key to recent Argentinian success. They’ve found the net 17 times in their last 7 games. Whilst defensively, they have enjoyed five clean sheets in that time. Surprisingly, they are still looking for their first ever World Cup win.
Italy and Argentina have played each other five times in the past. Both teams have two wins, with one game ending in a draw. They have never previously met at the World Cup.
Our statistical highlights for the game will give you key information to help you formulate your sports betting prediction for the fixture.
The football betting odds have Italy priced at 4/7. Argentina are rated at 5/1 with most betting apps and the draw can be found at 9/2/
Italy are favourites for a reason, but this could be a tight game. We don’t expect Argentina to pull off the upset, but they could make life tricky for the Italians.
4/7 is just too short a price to opt for Italy, so we are recommending the 11/4 on both teams scoring in an Italian win. Argentina know how to find the net, so we can see them registering a goal, but Italy should have too much for them.
