Argentina To Win To Nil

Reason for tip

Argentina have won seven of their last eight games without conceding and they can claim another win to nil against Australia. The South Americans have only shipped four goals in total in 12 games in 2022, so back their well-drilled defence to stand firm against the Socceroos.

Argentina 2-0

Reason for tip

Argentina took their foot of the gas after building up a 2-0 lead against Poland, after beating Mexico 2-0 in their second game in Qatar. It could be more of the same as they face Australia so yet another 2-0 win for the South Americans appeals.

Julian Alvarez To Score Anytime

Reason for tip

Julian Alvarez was handed his first World Cup start for Argentina against Poland and he marked the occasion with a goal. The Manchester City man should keep his starting spot and he appeals as a potential scorer.

Argentina a step too far for impressive Aussies

Argentina face Australia in the World Cup last 16 on Saturday as one of the pre-tournament favourites comes up against the surprise package in Qatar.

The South Americans suffered a shock loss to Saudi Arabia in their opener but recovered with back-to-back 2-0 wins over Mexico and Poland to secure a knockout spot.

Australia qualified ahead of Denmark and Tunisia to progress from Group D alongside holders France, but they are unlikely to cause this well drilled Argentina outfit too many problems on Saturday.

Another win to nil for La Albiceleste

Lionel Messi may dominate the headlines for Argentina, but in truth their success is largely built on an almost impregnable defence and they can claim yet another win to nil when they take on the Socceroos at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan.

La Albiceleste have won seven of their last eight games without conceding and the two goals they conceded against Saudi Arabia were just the third and fourth goals they have conceded in 12 games in 2022.

Australia managed a goal against France and beat both Denmark and Tunisia 1-0 so they have scored in all three of their games so far, but Argentina have arguably the best backline at the World Cup and can book a quarter-final spot without conceding.

Man City striker a threat for Argentina

Messi will always appeal as a possible scorer for Argentina despite his miss from the spot against Poland but for a bit more value Manchester City’s Julian Alvarez looks a strong candidate.

The 22-year-old was handed his first World Cup start against the Poles and marked the occasion with a goal, so he should keep his place in the first XI.

Another 2-0 win for Argentina stands out as a correct score bet. Lionel Scaloni’s men are well versed in game management and they took their foot off the gas after building up 2-0 leads in both of their group wins and it could be more of the same on Saturday.
