Argentina vs. Australia Predictions
Australia’s journey to the Round of 16 has been remarkable, but this is where things come to an end.
Australia advanced because of defense, winning 1-0 against Tunisia and Denmark to finish out group play. However, the Australians were clobbered 4-1 vs. France in their first match of the 2022 World Cup. France conceded an early goal, then used a relentless attack to score four straight against Australia. It wouldn’t be too surprising if something similar happened against another strong attacking team: Argentina.
The Argentinians will put Australia on its back foot for most of this match. Expect Lionel Messi and company to net a few goals, then sit back and defend, winning the match and recording a shutout.
