Best Tip: Argentina to win

A World Cup home win for Lionel Sebastián Scaloni's Argentina team win in the win / draw / win market is what we're predicting. Statistics suggest they're in strong form across a number of key metrics, and they should have too much for their visitors. The odds from the bookmakers are pointing in the same direction, and when that happens you've got reason to feel confident. A Argentina win is the way to go, but we wouldn't expect a whitewash.

Goal Statistics

Argentina's forwards have been superb of late, finding the net twice or more in 5 consecutive World Cup games. A PG of 2.0 suggests that run should continue on Tuesday evening.

With a PG of just 0.6, Egypt look set to struggle here. Add in the fact that Argentina haven't conceded a goal in 3 consecutive World Cup games, and it could be a long evening for H. Hussein's men.
