Argentina vs. Australia Prediction: Argentina Pumas to make it a bitter visit for the Wallabies

This weekend marks the start of another full-fledged four-nation Rugby Championship, with the games hosted by the Pumas featuring Argentina and Australia in the first round. This will be very welcoming for the host team to enter the competition after a thrilling 2-1 series victory against Scotland in July, despite giving up both the first try and a deficit at halftime twice. Also, there appears to be no significant drama in this situation at first. 

Argentina - Hopeful to record a first win in the Rugby Championship.

The last year's Rugby Championship ended without a win for the Pumas. When they play at home in the first match of this competition, they will be hoping to make their mark if they want to win the Championship. Although they may not look like a favorite, their opening performance will go a long way in determining the possibility of going far in the competition. Lately, in their last five matches, they have been able to win three matches and lose two, which is a fair result for them. They will now be focused on registering a win against a struggling Australia's Wallabies.

Australia - Can the Wallabies get back to winning ways?

The Wallabies will have to go to Argentina to compete against a common Pumas team, hosting the Rugby Championship in 2020 and 2021. Australia may not be at their best based on recent form, but they still appear to be the greatest favorites to win this game. Undoubtedly, the Australian team will perform better against the Pumas, who they have defeated in their previous three meetings. The Wallabies can only enter this game with one victory in their previous five games. Let's hope the Australian team does well in the opening game.

Expert Betting Tips

The Argentina Pumas will be playing at home this time, which is unquestionable to their benefit. Australia has won three of the last five meetings between the two teams, while two were drawn. The Wallabies scored at least 20 points in the last two games, whereas the Pumas scored only 17 points. Like the previous matches, we must also expect a close result in this one. Australia is expected to win.
