Argentina vs Haiti Prediction & Betting tips
In just over three weeks, the FIFA World Cup 2018 will begin in Russia. Most of the participants have already started their preparations. So are the Argentines. In the Estadio Alberto José Armando of Buenos Aires it comes on Tuesday evening Central European time for the first test match for the South Americans. The “Albiceleste” receives Haiti. If it goes after the “Gauchos”, it should finally reach the big litter again at this final round. 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. A World Champion title would also be the culmination of Lionel Messi. The superstar of FC Barcelona has already won almost everything in world football that can be won. Three times Messi was at world championships so far, he lost three times with Argentina in the knockout round against Germany.
Argentina:
The Argentine national team is currently preparing for the World Cup in Ezeiza near Buenos Aires. On the plan before the World Cup are two test matches. After the friendly against Haiti, the Argentines will face Israel on 9 June in Jerusalem. At the World Cup in Russia, the “Gauchos” then meet in Group D on Iceland, Croatia and Nigeria. The first World Cup match will face Iceland for Messi and Co. on 16 June. In the World Cup qualifiers, the “Albiceleste” had made heavy. The team of coach Sampaoli, who had been bought out of a contract with Sevilla FC in the summer, ended up “only” in third place behind Brazil and Uruguay. At home against Ecuador and Paraguay, as well as in Brazil and Bolivia, the team conceded defeats. There were also four draws. In the 18 games the Argentinians were only able to score 19 goals and conceded 16 goals.
Of the ten teams in South America, only Bolivia (16) scored fewer goals than Messi’s Argentinians. In addition to the “magic flea” offensive forces such as Sergio Agüero, Gonzalo Higuaín and Paulo Dybala in the provisional squad of Argentines. Coach Sampaoli could even afford not to take the Serie A top scorer with Mauro Icardi of Inter Milan to Russia. On the final day of the match, Argentina won the direct ticket to the finals with a 3-1 draw in Ecuador. Previously, the “gauchos” only ranked sixth in the qualifying group. For the first time in 47 years (1970 in Mexico), they threatened to miss a final tournament. The three goals against Ecuador had all been achieved by Messi. Vice World Champion Argentina will be without Sergio Romero at the World Cup. The goalkeeper of English Premier League side Manchester United suffered a right knee injury on 22 May, knocking it out of the finals in Russia. National coach Jorge Sampaoli now has to clarify who will be the new number one. The three candidates succeeding Romero come together only to eight internationals. Favorite is currently Manuel Roffo of the Boca Juniors.
Haiti:
Haiti had to enter the CONCACAF qualifier for the 2018 World Cup in the third round. By a 6-1 victory in Grenada, the island state made it into the group stage. In Group B, however, Haiti ended up only in third place behind Costa Rica and Panama and was eliminated. A win in Jamaica and a draw at home to Panama were only enough for four points. In the six group games, the “Grenadiers” could only score two goals, but also conceded only four goals. The men are trained by the Caribbean island of Marc Collat. Collat signed only in January 2018 a two-year contract as the new coach of the “Grenadiers”. He coached the national team from 2014 to 2015.
For him, the duel against Argentina is the first international match since his return to the coaching bank of Haiti. Coach Collat misses Richelor Sprangers from NAC Breda due to injury. No release from their clubs got Jems Geffrard, Andrew Jean Baptiste and Sebastien Thurière. Sebastien Thuriere and Andrew Jean Baptiste joined the national team only in the short term and are unlikely to be an option due to travel stress. The greatest success to date reached the Haitian footballers with the qualification for the World Cup 1974 in Germany. Here you had to be defeated in the preliminary round Italy (1: 3), Poland (0: 7) and Argentina (1: 4).
