Group C. Argentina Specials.
The Argentina national team is the logical favorite in Group C of the World Cup in Qatar and, in general, one of the main contenders for the throne of world football. It is worth noting that the Argentines are in a difficult Group C, and La Albiceleste will have to fight for a place in the 2022 World Cup playoffs.

When you first look at the statistics of the Saudi national team, it is striking that the Saudis, although they have not lost since June 2022, have a very poor performance. For example, Saudi Arabia still need to score against Ecuador, the USA, and Honduras and have scored one goal each against Northern Macedonia, Albania, Iceland, and Panama.
In return, Argentina have a four-match winning streak. The fact that Argentina failed to score against Estonia, Honduras, and Jamaica did not surprise much, but Argentina's resounding victory over Italy clearly indicates that Lionel Scaloni's side's defense is all right. Argentina have a good chance to continue its winning streak. You can bet on W1 to nil for 1.65 at 1xbet.
Bets on Argentina vs Mexico on November 26
The Mexicans are a much stronger opponent than the Saudi Arabian team. At the continental level, Mexico have suffered a few setbacks recently, but this team remains a dangerous opponent with a very decent and, most importantly, even squad. It should also be noted that the Mexican national team, like the Argentines, has a good defense. Of the last six games, the Mexicans did not concede in three games from Suriname, Peru, and Iraq. The only other side to concede more than one goal a game in this period was the Colombians, renowned for their attacks.
It is also important to note the statistics of the head-to-head encounters between Argentina and Mexico. After a 2-2 draw in a friendly in 2015, the opponents have crossed paths three times, all of which were won by the South Americans without conceding a goal. While the opponents have only reached TO (2.5) once, in friendly matches, the pairing is definitely not expected to perform strongly at the World Cup, even despite the strength of Argentina's attack. Let's remember that the South Americans are very good on defense, and Mexico can play decent defense if they put their mind to it. Our pick for tonight's second-round match is Total Under (2.5) for 1.72 at Bet365.
Bets on Poland vs Argentina on November 30
Poland have historically been outclassed in matches against Argentina. The score of the confrontation is 2-1. However, the last face-to-face meeting between the teams took place in 2011, so it (the statistics) can be called irrelevant. What is of relevance is something else. The fact that Argentina are now what they call "on a roll" has a 4-match winning streak with a combined score of 14-0. The Argentines have regained their status as the strongest team in South America and are one of the main candidates for the World Cup title.
Meanwhile, Poland have fallen on hard times. The West Slavs have made it to the World Cup finals. But in the Nations League 2022/23, the Poles suffered a setback. The only reason the Polish national team did not qualify for League B was the presence of the Welsh side in their group. But in the games against the Dutch and Belgians, the Polish national team managed to pick up only one point, humiliatingly losing in Brussels 1:6. If Argentina play to their strengths in the third round of the World Cup, they will be no match for Poland. You can bet on W2 for 1.66 at Betway.
Odds on Argentina making the playoffs
Betway's odds of 1.07 for the Netherlands national team to reach the playoffs corresponds to 91.7% probability. The Argentine national team, surprisingly enough, is quoted by the bookmakers as the runner-up after Brazil, but the chances of Scaloni's team making it to the last 16 are lower than those of the Netherlands or England, for instance. However, what is clear to us is that if the Argentine team plays Qatar at the same level as they did at Copa America or in the Finalissima against Italy, then Argentina will have no problem making the playoffs.
Bets on Argentina players
Despite his age, Lionel Messi is the bookmakers' favorite to win the Mundial Ballon d'Or. Indeed, Lionel is in great form, continues to be the leader of PSG, and regularly takes to the field in the starting line-up and scores. And Argentina, as written above, is considered one of the main favorites for the tournament. 1xbet gives 10.00 for Messi to take the Ballon d'Or. Messi also strongly features the best assists in the chart, sharing the honorable first-third place with De Bruyne and Neymar. It will be recalled that Messi has provided 10 assists in 12 games in the season for PSG in Ligue 1 and has made four assists in five Champions League games. You can bet on Messi as the World Cup's top assist for 10.00 at Bet365.
Messi is also listed as the top scorer at number 3, second only to Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe. Bet365 offers 1.72 for Messi to be the top scorer. Argentina's Lautaro Martinez (4.50) is also in the top ten of the Top Scorer chart. Lautaro scored seven goals for Inter in 14 Serie A games in 2022/23 and one goal in six Champions League games with two assists. For the national team, Lautaro Martinez had the following results recently:
- 3 goals in six Copa games
- 7 goals in 14 games of World Cup 2022 qualification
- One goal in the Finalissima
- One goal in two friendlies
Expert Betting Tips
The Argentinian national team has a good chance of getting into the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup. If everything goes according to plan, the Danish national team, a strong but completely passable opponent, will be their opponent in the last 16. And in the quarterfinals, the Argentines will probably face the Dutch, a strong and equal team but inferior in the squad to Scaloni's team. So we expect Argentina to be one of the best four teams on the planet for 2.50 at 1xbet.
Our prediction: Argentina will reach the World Cup semi-finals for 2.50.
