Argentina vs Spain prediction
Both these two teams ended the first round of pool play with seven points, although whilst that was enough for Argentina to top their pool, Spain were forced to settle for second-place behind Belgium on goals scored. This despite Argentina registering six goals compared to Spain’s seven, with the former’s strong defence key to their success.
It’s that Argentinian solidity that perhaps gives them a slight advantage heading into this one. Argentina have proved they can beat top opposition, having gotten the better of Germany by three goals to two and momentum is with them following consecutive wins. Backing them to edge out Spain warrants serious consideration.
Argentina vs Spain tip: Argentina to win
