Draw 4.00<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSaturday\u2019s final fixture sees Argentina and Mexico both go in search of their first win at Lusail Iconic Stadium in Lusail.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Against Poland, Mexico played reasonably well on match-day one. They adopted a high-intensity approach and were certainly the ones that tried to win the game the most. However, they lacked a cutting edge in the final third, and that\u2019s worrying ahead of a match against an Argentinian team that has plenty to offer offensively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Sure, we saw Argentina come unstuck against the Saudi\u2019s first time out, but it\u2019s really not worth reading too much into that. On another day, the men in blue and white would\u2019ve been four goals to the good before the break. The expected goals totals from that game, which read 2.27 to 0.14 in favour of Argentina, says it all.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Moreover, it\u2019s easy to feel that this Argentinian team is more suited to playing against tougher opposition. Before the World Cup, they were unbeaten for over two years, and during that time, they\u2019ve come up against and conquered some of the best, including Brazil, Uruguay and the current European champions, Italy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
For my money, this is a relatively straightforward win for the Argentinians. Mexico looked severely lacking in end-product against Poland, which will be a huge problem against the South American champions, who won\u2019t misfire twice in a row. After all, they\u2019ve won each of their three games against Mexico since 2018, winning 2-0. 2-0 and 4-0.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
In the betting, \u2018Argentina to Win & Over 2.5 Goals\u2019 looks good. Again, don\u2019t be fooled by the fact that they only scored once last time out. The Mexicans aren\u2019t renowned for their defensive prowess. Both Sweden and Colombia scored multiple goals against them in the lead-up to the World Cup, while Lionel Messi & Co. notched three or more in five straight games ahead of their trip to Qatar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
A secondary option is \u2018Lautaro Martinez to Score Anytime\u2019. The dynamic and direct forward wrongly had a goal disallowed for offside against Saudi Arabia, which is somewhat ludicrous given the inclusion of VAR, but that\u2019s another story altogether.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
With the right service, Martinez can be deadly in front of goal, which is why he\u2019s notched 28 goals in his last 50 league appearances for Inter Milan. He also has nine goals in his last 18 for Argentina, while he has averaged an eye-catching 0.58 xG and 3.87 shots per 90 minutes in the last year.
