Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One — Total goals: Over 2.5 — 1.72
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two — 2nd half result: Argentina to win — 1.43
Although Argentina’s last two World Cup games ended with under 2.5 goals, their game against Australia is likely to produce at least three goals. Australia’s last two games ended with under 1.5 but the last time they came up against a top-five FIFA ranked countries in the world, they conceded four goals and scored one against France, well, in the World Cup.
Argentina won in the second half in their last two World Cup matches. Australia did the same in their last World Cup game against Denmark. Argentina head into the game as the favourites, hence expecting them to win at least in the second half.
booked their place in the round of 16 as the winners of Group C following a convincing 2-0 win over Poland this week.
A win over Australia will take them to the quarter-final and both sides have kept clean sheets in their last two matches.
Australia:
Australia finished behind France in Group C after they beat Tunisia and Australia in their last two World Cup games.
They face Argentina as the underdogs but their defensive record of two games without conceding could inspire them to do the impossible.
Although both countries haven’t conceded in their last two matches, both are likely to get on the scoreboard, given it’s a knockout stage, but we expect Argentina to win at full-time.
Argentina’s last two games ended with over 1.5 goals. They could go on and repeat the same against Australia this weekend.
