Argentina's youth team is preparing for the start of the World Cup at home as one of the leading contenders for the title. The Blue and Whites have been crowned world champions six times in their history; only their most recent triumph came in 2007, after which they did not even reach the final. Now it is time to rectify the situation. Fortunately, the squad can count on significant tasks, and we can see the legendary Javier Mascherano as their head coach. Before the World Cup 2023, the Argentines had one friendly in which they beat the Dominican Republic 4:0, proving their excellent current form.

The Uzbekistan youth team is a team that regularly makes it to the World Cup finals. In the past two decades, they have qualified for four world championships, and each time, they have performed better. They lost all three games in 2003, won their first World Cup title in 2009 but did not make the playoffs, but reached the quarter-finals in 2013 and 2015. Moreover, in 2023, the Uzbekistan national team became the AFK champion for the first time in their history when they unexpectedly reached the final, beating the team of Iraq - 1:0.

The Uzbekistan youth national team continues to progress actively, representing a formidable force, and the recent AFK championship only confirms this. That said, the Argentines are still clear favorites to win, possessing a terrific selection of players and playing with the support of the home stands. The opponents played out a friendly in 2022, in which the Blue and Whites clinched an expected 2:0 win. Now they must win, and you can bet on Argentina's victory with a handicap (-1.5).

It is not worth expecting high-scoring activity in the upcoming encounter. The Uzbekistan national team traditionally plays pragmatically, paying enormous attention to defensive formations. In the previous 12 meetings with them, only 22 goals have been scored in total (1.83 average per game). Here, too, we should not expect any goal miracles in the debut of World Cup 2023, and besides, we must not forget the excitement that will prevent the young guys from showing their brightest football. With this in mind, the best option for the prediction seems to be a total under 2.5 goals, and you can bet on the correct score of 2:0.
