Argentina vs. Netherlands Predictions
Argentina is ranked second in the world, and it also has the second-best odds to win the 2022 World Cup. Lionel Messi is great, and he deserves another shot at the trophy. However, we need to take a step back and realize that this Argentinian squad has been very beatable in this tournament.
Messi and company lost to Saudi Arabia in shocking fashion to open things up, then they took care of business against Mexico and Poland. However, Argentina found itself walking a tightrope against Australia in the Round of 16, and a late save in stoppage time preserved a 2-1 victory.
The Netherlands is the best team Argentina has faced so far in the 2022 World Cup. The Argentinians won’t be able to get away with sloppy play as they did against Australia. The Dutch are a disciplined side that is able to absorb pressure from Argentina’s attack.
Let’s take the Netherlands on “draw no bet” in regulation. Here’s how it works: 1) If the Netherlands wins in regulation, we cash our bet. 2) If there’s a draw in regulation, our stake is refunded. 3) If Argentina wins in regulation, we lose this bet. There’s a good amount of value in this wager for +135 odds.
The Pick: Netherlands draw no bet (in regulation) | +135 at BetMGM
