Argentina - Australien: forudsigelse og væddemål til VM 2022 i Qatar

We have prepared for you a prediction for the match Argentina - Australia in the playoffs of the World Cup 2022 in Qatar. The Argentines finished first in Group C and Australia were in second place in Group D.

Argentina national team - will Messi continue to drag his team?

Argentina ranks 3rd in the FIFA rankings. After a sensational defeat from Saudi Arabia (1:2), the Argentines gathered and defeated Mexico (2:0) and Poland (2:0). During this World Cup 2022 in Qatar, Argentina scored Lionel Messi (2 goals), Julian Alvarez, Enzo Fernandez and Alexis McAllister. Of the assistants, I would note: Messi, Enzo Fernandez, Angel Di Maria, Nahuel Molina.

Statistically, Argentina have scored five goals in the group stage and conceded one goal in three group matches. If you take an average, then Argentina has 2.8 goals per match, managed to score in 10 of the last 10 matches, conceded only in 2 of 10.

The main star of Argentina is, of course, Lionel Messi, but he has equally stellar teammates such as Angel Di Maria, Lautaro Martinez and many others.

Team Australia - left the "group of death" with Denmark and France

Australia ranks 38th in the FIFA rankings. In the opening match at this tournament, the Australians lost to France (1:4), but then they minimally beat Tunisia (1:0) and created a sensation with Denmark (1:0).

According to statistics, Australia has an average of 1 goals per match, scored in 7 out of 10 matches, conceded in 5 out of 10.

During this World Cup 2022 in Qatar, Australia scored only three goals and conceded 4 (all from France). Few would have expected Australia to make the playoffs, but they are a very convenient opponent for the current Argentina.

Argentina v Australia: World Cup 2022 play-off bet in Qatar

The playoffs are usually the beginning of a new tournament. If we take into account the group stage, then Argentina was able to cope psychologically with the failure with Saudi Arabia and dealt with rather strong teams like Mexico and Poland. Australia did not show anything super-outstanding, Tunisia and Denmark won a thin one, but they had no chance with the French.

Australia can definitely be considered the most convenient opponent against Argentina. Messi and his team are considered the favorite according to the bookmakers, and the Australians, respectively, are the underdogs.

It seems that Australia's fairy tale will slowly come to an end, and for Argentina, the path to the expected quarter-finals begins.

Of the interesting markets for the match Argentina - Australia, I would note the following outcomes:

• Both teams to score - no for 1.45
• Australia not to score at 1.49
• Argentina win by 2 goals at 1.67

Prediction: Argentina beat Australia by 2 goals
