Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

England and Argentina have delivered plenty of under 3.5 goal games of late, and key performance stats point towards an extension of that record. We feel confident predicting under 3.5 goals on Wednesday night, and the bookmakers have it priced at 1.22.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think England are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 39% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.55.

Goal Statistics

Argentina's defensive record is to be admired, L. Scaloni's men having conceded 1 or less in 13 consecutive World Cup games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.3 for England makes sense in this context.
