Argentina U20 vs Mali U20 Prediction & Betting tips
Within just three days, the eight round of 16 matches of the U20 World Championship will be held in Poland. In the first knockout game, the host had to cancel the sails and failed on the Italian offspring conceivable tight. The round of sixteen will be concluded on Tuesday evening with the duel between record U20 World Champion Argentina and Mali, the reigning U20 African Champion!
The duel between the South Americans and the Africans is certainly one of the absolute top games in this knockout round. Argentina is considered by the bookmakers as a big favorite, but the offspring from Mali knew to convince especially with strong offensive play in the preliminary round. The defense, however, was always vulnerable. Accordingly, in the duel between Argentina and Mali could also be a tip that both teams will meet, an interesting opportunity. The game starts on Tuesday evening at 19:30.
Argentina:
Between 1995 and 2007, the offspring of the Argentine national team was the absolute nonplusultra in international football. Five of the seven U20 World Championships in this period won the Albiceleste for themselves. Added to this is the title win from 1979. With six World Cup titles, Argentinian is the record title holder, but has been waiting for the next success for twelve years. In 2015 and 2017, the gauchos failed completely in the preliminary round.
The team of head coach Fernando Btista was spared this fate this year already after two group matches. Argentina celebrated their first victories against South Africa (5: 2) and also against the highly rated Portuguese (2: 0). In the final game against South Korea Batista rotated a bit through and the favorite had to be finally beaten 1: 2. All in all, a disappointing performance that players like center-back Maximiliano Centurion, right-back Marcelo Weigandt or even striker Tomas Chancalay could not necessarily recommend for further action.
Against Mali is expected a similar lineup as in the game against Portugal. Locks are not to be served. Thus, the gauchos are in best shape. The great strength of Argentina can certainly be found on the offensive. Here are some great talents. With these strong offensive performances, a prediction of over 2.5 could be promising between Argentina and Mali.
Mali:
Only the value of Transfermarkt.de of Argentina and Mali compared, a play can be expected on an inclined plane. The young talents from Africa are internationally still largely unknown and has only a fraction of the notional value of the Argentine team. The fact that this is not necessarily an indicator, has shown the last group match of Mali against top favorite France. The Africans would have even managed to secure the top spot with a win against Les Bleus, had to finally just short of 2: beaten third While almost all the French U-20 team may already have experience in the highest professional leagues, are found only eight legionnaires in Mali, three of which make their money in Austria and two in Norway.
The Africans can certainly be described as a no-name team. However, not only the athleticism is a huge strength in the game of the team of head coach Mahamoutou Kane, but above all, the efficiency before the opponent’s goal. Mali does not need many chances to “round the corner”. Thanks to the Kaltschnäutzigkeit before the goal Mali could already secure the title win at the African Championships under 20-year-olds at the beginning of the year.
A downside to the game against the Albiceleste are the defeats of right-back Foda Konate and midfielder Mohamed Camara, who each have to watch because of yellow jail. Nevertheless, the Africans can calculate chances. Although the win of the favorites is quite likely, between Argentina and Mali, the odds offered on this success certainly have no value!
