Argentina are one of the pre-tournament favorites for the title so it's no surprise that the bookies have them as very heavy favorites for this match at odds of 1.17. Saudi Arabia are rank underdogs in this match at odds of 15.00. The draw is also very unlikely and the odds on this are 7.00. There is not much money to be made on the Argentina outright win therefore we suggest taking them to lead at halftime and to win the match at odds of 1.61.

Argentina - Saudi Arabia: Form Analysis

Argentina came through the South American qualifiers in second place behind Brazil but remained unbeaten with 11 wins and 6 draws. During their golden streak of 36 matches unbeaten, they have also won their first major title in 28 years when they lifted the Copa America crown in 2021 and followed it up with the Finalissma title earlier this year. They will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to the end of this tournament which will ensure their talismatic captain Lionel Messi can lift the title in what is surely his last World Cup. Saudi Arabia will be looking to make it past the group stage for just the second time in their history and will draw inspiration from their qualifying campaign where they finished ahead of much more fancied teams like Australia and Japan.

Argentina & Saudi Arabia Squad Analysis

There were major fears that Messi would be unavailable for this match as he sat out the first training session on Friday but reports confirmed that he took part in the second part of the training and should be fully fit for this match. Argentina have already sent Joaquin Correa and Nico Gonzalez home from the World Cup due to injury but still have an embarrassment of riches to pick from in attack. Julian Alvarez and Lautaro Martinez are competing to spearhead an attack that has often varied in formation under Lionel Scaloni. A goal from Martínez could be a good omen for Argentina with his nation winning the last 16 games in which he's scored. Aston Villa's Emi Martinez is set to start in goal with Brighton's Alexis Mac Allister and Tottenham defender Cristian Romero in the mix for a starting berth.

Our Argentina vs Saudi Arabia Prediction

Argentina are unbeaten in their four previous meetings with Saudi Arabia with two wins and two draws although this will be their first meeting at the FIFA World Cup. The South Americans will be full of confidence coming into this match as they have only failed to win one of their last seven World Cup openers altough that failure came in their last campaign. Saudi Arabia will be looking to cause one of the great World Cup upsets but they will need their attack to improve significantly if they are to breach the brilliant Argentinian defense that has conceded just one goal in the last eight matches. The Messi led team are playing in their 13th straight World Cup and will not have a better chance to add a third title to the two they won in 1978 and 1986. Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, will most realistically be hoping to avoid the dreaded last position as they are the minnows of the group. We are backing Argentina to lead at halftime and win the match as this has been their pattern in their last five matches.
