Argentina vs India prediction

Argentina are locked in an almost dead heat with England for a top two finish in Pool E with both boasting the same goal difference and number of points. With that in mind, Argentina knows that not only a win is vital here, but every goal score could be priceless with their being a good chance that goal difference could decide who progresses.

India still have a slim opportunity themselves of reaching the last four but their goal difference being bad after a 3-1 defeat to Netherlands leaves them with a mountain to climb. This Argentinian side appear to be stronger anyhow and are well worth backing to pick up the three points in Amstelveen.
