Singapore vs Argentina Prediction & Betting tips
The Singapore Football Association celebrates its 125th anniversary this year. Of course, this must be celebrated and so the mini-state from South-East Asia has no less than Argentina to knock to celebrate the festivities!
Singapore :
I must honestly admit that I do not follow Singapore’s football. Football is indeed the main popular sport in the former British colony, but with a 157th place on the FIFA world rankings even countries such as Tahiti and Papua New Guinea are ranked higher. Last weekend, The Lions surprised their own public by losing 2-1 from Chinese Taipei. Of the thirteen interlands that played the country last year, only Cambodian home won (1-0). No, Singapore is not exactly a high-flyer.
Still, Singapore is keen on meeting Argentina. At the airport, upon arrival of the visitors, a total Messi hysteria was heard. Also for the players themselves, these are of course the crunches, because they are all still playing in Singapore or in neighboring Malaysia. Experience is not a problem at all, because Ishak and defender Bennett are good at least 267 internationally. The latter is also born in England, but he became a Singaporean citizen. In his native country, he did not go beyond some appearances in the shirt of the invalid Wrexham, but on Tuesday, he may try to make the Argentine’s top spikes to make life sick. That’s not going to happen because Bennett had recently blown out 39 (!) Candles.
Argentina :
With the appointment of coach Sampaoli Argentina has begun a new era. The coach, who recently pulled the door behind Seville, started his new adventure last Friday in Melbourne. With a goal of defender Mercado, eternal rival Brazil won 1-0.
The victory over Brazil tasted sweet, but also against Singapore, La Albiceleste’s backdrop is a sound victory. Sampaoli seems to be hiding his whole team and has puzzled all Singapore that Messi will not come into action. Also Higuain and Otamendi will stay aside. Nevertheless, we can expect an ultra-aggressive Argentina against Singapore. Sampaoli apparently plans to play with only two defenders. According to the Argentinian ole.com.ar, Mammana and Fazio have to take care of the proverbial lock. Salvio, Biglia, Acuna, Gomez, Lanzini, Dybala and Di Maria are likely to form the midfield, with Correa as the deepest point. Guzman will stand between the posts. Even so, Messi does not play, so the 55,000 people in the stadium are still looking for their money.
