France v Argentina World Cup Betting Preview
France have not quite found the form that their squad is capable of this World Cup. They’ve shown flashes of brilliance but haven’t managed to sustain it over for a full 90 minutes. They coasted their way through the group stages beating Australia and Peru 1-0 while only drawing 0-0 with Denmark. The results might not be impressive but the French were in full control of both of those matches. France need to be more aggressive and find more goals if they are to win this match. They have the talent to walk over Argentina but they need to show up on the day.
Argentina have had a pretty dire World Cup. They’re fortunate to even be in the round of 16 after a 1-1 draw with Iceland, a 3-0 loss to Croatia and a narrow win over Nigeria. They haven’t looked like a team and more importantly they haven’t looked competitive at all. They have been poor in all areas of the field, conceding soft goals and missing some very easy chances. They’ll need to find some major inspiration if they are to compete with this dangerous French team.
France v Argentina World Cup Betting Tips
This match looks like it could be a fairly dull affair seeing as how the teams have been playing. France are happy to take the lead and sit on it while Argentina just can’t seem to defend or find any goals. France should have a field day against a leaky Argentine defence but they’ll need to put the game to bed as Argentina have shown they are capable of late goals. This game is a massive mismatch and the French should run out clear winners, sending Messi and co home on the next flight. One thing Argentina have going for them is France have never beaten them in a World Cup or at all for that matter, however this is a very different Argentine squad. We’re going to be backing France to win at 27/20. For those that are more risk averse back France to Qualify at 3/5.
