England vs Argentina Prediction & Tips
England are in their fourth major semi-final since 2018 — as many as in all their prior football history combined. Kane and Bellingham have each scored six goals at this tournament, the first time in World Cup history two players from the same nation have reached that mark simultaneously. But England’s defensive record is a concern: they’ve conceded in three of their last five matches, including both quarter-final legs against Norway, which they won only in extra time. Ezri Konsa is suspended, leaving Quansah to come in at the back.
Argentina have scored 17 goals at this World Cup — their best-ever tally is 18, set in 1930. They’ve scored exactly three in each of their last four matches and have never lost a World Cup semi-final in five attempts. Messi has eight goals and ten goal contributions across the tournament, making him only the second player after Mbappé to achieve that in multiple World Cups. He didn’t score against Switzerland in the quarter-final, but assisted Mac Allister’s opener in a 3-1 extra-time win.
