Before you make any Argentina vs. Netherlands picks or 2022 FIFA World Cup predictions, you MUST see what SportsLine soccer insider Brandt Sutton has to say.
Sutton, a former collegiate soccer player, has been SportsLine's top soccer editor for more than five years. He has followed soccer closely for much longer and factors in managerial tactics, projected lineups and past performances to make the most informed decisions possible, keeping his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe.
Sutton also has been on a roll with his best bets, going 164-126-2 over his last 292 soccer picks in 2022, returning more than $2,200 for $100 bettors!
Sutton knows Argentina can always count on Messi, who has 13 goals in the team's past eight matches in all competitions. This is likely his last chance to lead the team to glory for his country, and the team looks to have learned from a surprising 2-1 loss to Saudi Arabia in the group-stage opener. Argentina are averaging 66% possession in the World Cup and have 37 shots (17 on target) over their past two matches.
The expert also knows the Netherlands are coming hot after a strong performance against the USMNT. They have outscored their World Cup opponents 8-2 and they put six of their 11 shots on target against the USA. Cody Gakpo didn't score in that outing but tallied in all three group-stage matches, and a healthy Memphis Depay give the team more firepower up front. Frenkie de Jong also scored against the Americans.
Sutton has taken an in-depth look at the Argentina vs. Netherlands matchup and locked in his picks. He is leaning under on the goal total and also offers his CONFIDENT best bet on one side of this FIFA World Cup match. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks and analysis before making any selections of your own!
