Argentina Pummels Opponents into Submission – Will Cabe Verde Be Next?
Argentina is a unique and highly-methodological team that plays almost intuitively when it comes to striking against the enemy goalie, and if you look closely at the team’s stats – you will notice that they have perhaps one of the best ratios between shots on target to actual goals.
This means that while Argentina is more methodological and doesn’t rush into shooting at the goalie without a good clearing, it is fully capable of converting what it creates for itself into meaningful opportunities.
Argentina used this exact same strategy to defeat Algeria in a 3-0 game as well as Jordan, although it yielded a single point for a final 3-1 score.
The team almost succeeded in securing a 3-0 victory against Austria and Messi could have secured a second hat trick at a World Cup game after his opening game, but just couldn’t as time ran out. Argentina’s offensive is known to work, and we do not expect anything different from the team in its game against Cabo Verde.
Cabo Verde has not scored much this tournament, but it has also proven a tough nut to crack in defense. Spain faltered as did Saudi Arabia. Uruguay and the team exchanged two goals each, with the Blue Sharks holding their own, but going up against Argentina will be a different challenge altogether.
Argentina is a (-2000) favorite to secure the game, with Cabo Verde given a slight (+750). If the Blue Sharks somehow manage to go all the way up to penalties against Argentina, the somewhat random nature of these shootouts could see them fight for a chance, but it would be a longer shot than anything we have seen so far in this tournament – including Morocco’s upset against Germany.
This is why we think betting on Over 3 goals is the most likely outcome here, and not too bad odds.
Pick: Over 3 goals (+119)
