Spain vs Argentina Prediction & Betting tips
While numerous nations played their first matches in the international break on Friday and Saturday, the second test follows at the beginning of the week. In the new Estadio Wanda Metropolitano of Madrid meet on Tuesday evening, two absolute World Cup top favorites: Spain receives the Argentine national team. Both teams were able to make good marks in the first friendly on Friday: Spain were at 1-1 away against the German national team, and Argentina beat Italy 2-0 at Etihad Stadium. Who now holds the upper hand in a direct clash?
Spain:
Under coach Julen Lopetegui, the “Seleccion” has regained its former strength. The Spanish national team sprayed again the old hunger for success. The dominant short-game against the DFB-Elf reminded of the best days of the Spanish selection from 2008 to 2012. The squad is strong and homogeneous. Nothing reminds more of the team that failed miserably in the preliminary round at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and was dismantled at the European Championships 2016 in France in the second round of Italy.
Under del Bosque’s successor Lopetegui, the Spaniards are still unbeaten (twelve wins and five draws). Nations like Belgium, Italy and France could be defeated. In England, Russia and Germany there were honorable draws. La Roja had qualified without defeat as the winner in Group F for the World Cup. A single draw was only accepted in Italy. At home Spain defeated the Squadra Azzurra clearly 3-0. The goal difference in the ten matches was 36: 3. In the final round, the Spaniards in Group B get to deal with Portugal, Morocco and Iran. Coach Lopetegui has to give up on Tuesday as agreed on David Silva.
Argentina:
In the first friendly of the current international break the South Americans beat the Italians 2-0. The battered Messi was allowed to rest on the bench for 90 minutes. Whether he can play against Spain is not yet clear. On Sunday, the superstar was back on the training ground. Sergio Agüero also failed to play Italy but could also play against Spain. But failures will surely Marcos Rojo and Eduardo Salvio.
In the World Cup qualifiers, the Argentinians had hard. With 28 points, the team of coach Jorge Sampaoli ended up “only” in third place behind Brazil and Uruguay. At home against Ecuador and Paraquay, as well as in Brazil and Bolivia, the “Albiceleste” collected bankruptcies. There were also four draws. In the 18 games the Argentinians were only able to score 19 goals and conceded 16 goals. Only on the last day of the match did Argentina win the direct ticket to the finals. At the World Cup in Russia meet the gauchos in Group D on Iceland, Croatia and Nigeria. Argentina has been waiting for a title since 1993: neither at the Copa America nor at a World Cup could anything be won. After 1978 and 1986, Argentina wants to finally get the third star home.
