Tip and bets
Argentina faced some problems in the group, but managed to improve their game towards the end of the group stage. Netherlands, on the other hand, got advantage of opponents' mistakes, but failed to provide a top-notch performance.
Argentina have more balance in their game, they proved their mental toughness and Lionel Messi is in a perfect form, so we offer to place a bet on South American side.
Our prediction - Argentina to advance
Argentina is not giving many offensive chances to the opponents and their style of play is rather defensive. But they have some high class players up front, who have the ability to break through any defense. Netherlands have problems on the defensive end, so they are unlikely to contain Messi and his teammates.
Our second bet is on total over 2.5 goals
