It's surprising that Argentina has only won two World Cups in history given the caliber of players on their roster. Because they aren't the favorites compared to the other three teams in Group C, Saudi Arabia has been dubbed the odd man out at the moment. Here are our top two game predictions.
Argentina is the clear favorite to win their opening group match against Saudi Arabia, so we have added a clean sheet to the wager to improve the odds. Only twice in their history have these two countries faced off, with Argentina triumphing in the first match in 1992 and the teams stalemating in 2012. Saudi Arabia has lost two of their last four games without scoring, while Argentina has won four of their last four games overall and kept four clean sheets. Saudi Arabia's most recent match was a 1-0 loss to Croatia.
Argentina is one of the best and most frequently predicted teams to win the December World Cup, so they shouldn't have any problems in their opening group stage match. Argentina should have no trouble winning because they easily qualified for the competition in the first place with no losses to their name and because they have one of the best pools of football players to choose from.
When they were assigned to play Argentina, Poland, and Mexico in their group, Saudi Arabia received the short end of the stick. They don't have many well-known footballers on their squad, but when the tournament starts, keep an eye out for Firas Al-Buraikan
