Tip and bets
We think that physically this will be a very challenging match for Argentina. They have played three games of five sets at this tournament and must be quite tired. Italy don't have such a problem and should use it to their advantage, putting a lot of pressure on the opponent. Then Argentina will rush, realizing they can't have another five-setter, and they will make mistakes. Considering these factors, we think that Italy have a better chance to win.
Our prediction - Italy to win.
We expect some intrigue from this match. The Italians are the favourites, but it's hard to believe that they can get an easy win over the Argentines. We suggest betting on the total over, which will play if the teams exchange winning sets.
Second wager - total over 177.5 points.
