Scotland W vs Argentina W Prediction & Betting tips
The playoffs are taking on more and more concrete form at the 2019 Women’s World Cup. When on Wednesday the group D of their last preliminary round games completed, then already some teams for the round of 16 are determined. Also from this pool, England and Japan have already made the jump. It is just not clear who takes which place. The two favorites could either accompany Scotland or Argentina. Both meet each other on Wednesday in direct duel. At most one of these two teams will move into the next round, although it is also possible that both will retire. So it’s just about playing full on attack to get the first victory at this World Cup and at world championships.
Scotland is a debutant and is waiting for the first victory as well as Argentina, which was already in 2003 and 2007 at the start, but there each conceded three defeats in the first round. Let’s look at the table first. England are six points ahead of Vice World Champion Japan with four points. Argentina follows with one point, could theoretically even jump into second place in the event of their own victory and a defeat of the Asian against the Three Lionesses. Scotland are at the bottom of the standings after two defeats and will need a win to hope to progress as one of the top four group riders. In general, it should not be an easy task to make the right forecast in the duel between Scotland and Argentina. Both teams are on equal terms and will have to go with open visors in this game. Only one win should be enough for the next round. Perhaps that would be an indication that in the game between Scotland and Argentina give a tip on over the top. What is certain is that this match could take on dramatic proportions. Let’s see who wants the jump to the last 16 and the first victory at a World Cup more. The kick-off for the group match at the Women’s World Cup 2019 between Scotland and Argentina in the Paris prinzenpark will take place on 19.06.2019 at 20:00.
Scotland:
The Scottish ladies have come to France with the expectation that they will have to wait until the last second of the last group match, which will be enough for one of the four best third places. For days, this scenario is played through in the camp of Schott women. With a victory, the Bravehearts would have very realistic chances of the knockout stages. The only problem is that the World Cup debutant does not know what success on the world stage feels like. The preparation was very promising. With the recommendation of five games in a row without defeat, the team of Shelley Kerr has come to the World Cup. There were but two tight failures, although the scorers were with the strong English, but also with Japan at eye level. Lack of concentration at the end of the first half resulted in two defeats. Therefore, we think that in the duel between Scotland and Argentina, the odds for a British victory should not necessarily be the first choice.
Last Friday, the defeat by Japan was a blueprint of the game against England. Scotland conceded two goals in the 23rd minute and a quarter of an hour later and then, much too late, corrected the deficit. Only in the 88th Minute succeeded Lana Clelland the first goal, but the next defeat did not change anything. What you can not accuse the Scotch women, however, is the lack of commitment.
That’s why coach Shelley Kerr has not finished the World Cup yet. Furthermore, their players are on a mission that could still be successful. Therefore, the coach also dreams of a victory against Argentina. We do not expect any major changes in the starting eleven. Scotland does not have the depth of the squad that Shelley Kerr could swap at will. The first team should be able to stand up to the Argentines if they show no lack of concentration in the first round.
Argentina:
First you have to pay the team from Argentina a big compliment. In the first two World Cup participations, the South Americans were still cannon fodder. Among other things, there was a 0:11 against Germany, which was until the 13: 0 of the United States over Thailand, the highest World Cup victory. Meanwhile, the team of Jose Carlos Borrello seems to be able to keep up with the heavyweights. There is no other way to explain that for a long time you had chances against England and could even beat him against Japan. Argentina is therefore to be considered. With the Scottish women now comes an opponent, against which one may hope for the first victory at a World Cup. However, the balance of recent months is not necessarily worth pointing out. In the last seven games, there was only one victory for the Gaucho women. Therefore, we spare ourselves in the duel between Scotland and Argentina a forecast on a success of the South Americans.
At times, it was also very respectable, what Argentina delivered Friday against England. Above all, it was noticeable that this team is defensively very well organized. Against Vice World Champion Japan there was no goal and also against the Three Lionesses could keep the box clean for a long time. Among other things, Vanina Correa managed to defuse a penalty. After an hour, the Argentinians got caught. So it was at the end 0: 1. Actually, a result that can be accepted head held, but countable did not jump out. This will be different with Scotland, as a draw is probably not enough to get ahead. Therefore you have to relax the defensive a bit to get your first goal at this World Cup. The hope lies above all on captain Estefania Banini, who is responsible for constantly stimulating the Argentine women’s game and creating chances to score. Not for nothing is she nicknamed “La Messi” at home.
