Argentina vs Panama Predictions

• Argentina have won 11 of their last 12 matches
• Five of Panama’s last seven games have gone under 2.5 goals
• Argentina have won both lifetime meetings between these two

Homecoming victory likely for hosts

Argentina won the World Cup in December and will have a chance to get a heroes’ welcome when they play their first match since that success in a friendly against Panama. La Albiceleste secured the first World Cup of Lionel Messi’s career in his last ever opportunity and in dramatic fashion, taking home the trophy after a penalty shootout with France.

With this being their first home match since that success expect raucous scenes of celebration and an Argentina win, they have been rock solid in recent months, winning 11 of their last 12 games.

Don’t expect Canal Men to be blown away 

Despite the quality of Panama’s opposition, they may not be humiliated. The Canal Men have beaten Canada 1-0 recently and have a habit of keeping things tight at the back, they only conceded 19 times in 14 games in World Cup qualification and a low-scoring win for the hosts looks like being the likeliest outcome.
