England vs Argentina prediction
England blew away the opposition from an offensive standpoint in the first round. Zak Jones’ side accrued a whopping 16 goals, the most of all 16 teams in the tournament to blast their way through as Pool D winners. They comprehensively defeated Pakistan before India had no answer to their resurgence after equalising. The third set of games saw England destroy Wales, thrashing them 8-2.
That was a message sent to the opposition, not least Argentina. As strong as the South Americans are, it would be no surprise to see them struggle containing such an in-form English attack. This will be a physical, scrappy battle. But England are the better-placed side and Argentina have already been found wanting once against a top opponent in Netherlands.
England vs Argentina tip: England to win
