Argentina
WWWWWW ✅
Argentina will be hoping for a repeat of their last result, following the 1-3 WC success against Jordan.
In that match, Argentina managed 73% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. For Argentina, the goals were scored by Giovani Lo Celso (19'), Lautaro Martínez (31') and Lionel Messi (80'). For their opponents, Jordan had 5 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target. Mousa Al Ta'mari (55') scored for Jordan.
Their more recent scorelines highlight the fact that not much more can be done by the Argentina rearguard. Argentina have been miserly, seeing the number of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper during their past six games standing at 1. Regardless, time will tell whether that trend might be sustained in this upcoming game.
Cape Verde Islands
DWWDDD 📈
In their previous fixture, Cape Verde Islands drew 0-0 in the WC tie with Saudi Arabia.
In that match, Cape Verde Islands had 51% possession and 15 shots on goal with 2 on target. Saudi Arabia had 7 shots at goal with 3 of them on target.
A sequence of hard-working displays by the Cape Verde Islands defensive players has seen their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 3 from their past 6 clashes combined. Over that same period of time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 9.
🔮
Prediction
Unfortunately for them, Cape Verde Islands will need to be at their absolute best to break down a Argentina team who possess the qualities to dominate this match completely.
We are anticipating a resounding 4-0 winning margin with possibly more for Argentina after 90 minutes.
