Argentina vs Australia Prediction & Betting tips
The second match of the round of 16 of the Qatar 2022 World Cup will be played on Saturday evening at 19:00 between Argentina and Australia. The match has a clear favorite, namely Argentina, but Australia has also shown that it is capable of providing surprises. The two national teams have met four times so far, recording a draw and three victories for Argentina, the most recent in a friendly match played in 2007 that ended with a score of 1-0.
Argentina:
Argentina was part of group C at this final tournament and started as it couldn’t be worse with a defeat in the debut match, 1-2 against Saudi Arabia, after leading 1-0. After this huge surprise, Argentina’s chances to reach the eighth had to be recalculated. In the next two matches, however, Leo Messi’s team showed why at one point they were undefeated for 30 games, achieving two very good performances in the victories against Mexico and Poland, both ending with the same score of 2-0. If Argentina advances to the quarterfinals, it will meet the winner of the quarterfinal between the Netherlands and the USA.
Australia:
On the other hand, Australia was in group D at this final tournament, along with France, Denmark and Tunisia and started with the 3rd chance, the favorites being France and Denmark. In the first match, Australia was clearly defeated by France 4-1 and did not hope for further qualification. Then followed the match against Tunisia, won by Australia with 1-0, thanks to a goal scored in the 23rd minute. The decisive match was to be played in the 3rd round against Denmark, which started with the first chance to qualify for the round of 16, but Australia played a perfect game, managing to score the victory and qualification goal in the 60th minute. In the match against Argentina, Australia starts with a second chance, but it remains to be seen how Argentina will approach this game.
