Argentina vs United States prediction
Argentina head to the FIH World Cup in a good place and with motivation of being the team who finally topples Netherlands, after losing to them in the final back in 2022. They begin against a side whom they know extremely well in USA and a team they beat in major competition just over a year ago, Las Leonas defeating the Americans in the 2025 Pan American Cup final.
Fernando Ferrari is a smart coach who will have no devised a plan on how his side can get back to the final, but first they must take care of business in the early stages of this tournament. They’ve been consistently better than USA and that should be reflected in the result of this match.
Argentina vs United States tip: Argentina to win
