Expert Picks

We've already seen one example of an extremely lopsided match this tournament with England beating up on Iran 6-2. Argentina are better than England and Saudi Arabia are worse than Iran. Argentina may have to score all three goals themselves, but Lionel Messi and company are more than capable of doing that. Lionel Messi might be more than capable of doing that on his own. The major problem for underdogs in matches like this is if they concede at any point early on they're just sort of out of options and invariably attempts to get back into the match get exploited by the superior side. Depending on the price, longer odds and a higher over might also be tempting.

There are some injury concerns in the Argentina camp ahead of this one, but the reigning Copa America winners are just on an incredible run of form over the last couple years and should have the majority of their key players here. They are unbeaten in their last 36 matches and have superstar Lionel Messi leading the attack. They'll want to keep the good vibes going, and I suspect Argentina will score three goals themselves in this game, so I'm taking the OVER. I wouldn't be shocked if it hits by the hour mark as Saudi Arabia are clearly outmatched.
