Argentina vs Australia Prediction & Tips
Argentina arrives as 1st classified in Group C after 2 wins and 1 loss with 5 goals for and 2 against. Thus, they started the tournament with a surprise loss against Saudi Arabia (1-2), although they later managed to save the matchballs against Mexico (2-0) and Poland (0-2).
In this case, Argentina is postulated as the great favorite and with a fairly ‘affordable’ path to the semifinals, since after Australia they would have to face the Netherlands or the USA, avoiding teams like France, Brazil or Spain. However, they could then lose to anyone.
Formation in 1-4-2-3-1: Martinez in goal; Molina as right back and Acuña as left back (with options for Tagliafico) with Otamendi and Romero (with options for Lisandro) as center backs; in midfield will be De Paul and Enzo Fernandez with Messi in the midfield; up in the wings I expect Di Maria and Mac Allister with Julian Alvarez as center forward.
Australia comes in 2nd in Group D after 2 wins and 1 loss with 3 goals scored and 4 conceded. After starting with a loss against France (4-1), they managed to beat Tunisia (0-1) and Denmark (1-0) in the last matchday.
In this case, Australia comes to the Round of 16 with nothing to lose and everything to win, as it has a historic opportunity to reach the Quarterfinals of a World Cup and eliminate one of the historic teams of world soccer.
Formation in 1-4-3-3: Ryan in goal; Degenek as right back (with options for Atkinson if he recovers) and Behich as left back with Souttar and Rowles as center backs; Mooy will be the pivot with McGree and Irvine on the inside; up front there will be Leckie, Goodwin and Duke as center forward.
