LiontipsArgentina - Iceland: betting tip (cf 1.88) and bets on the friendly match
Command Analysis
Current form
Argentina confidently took the first place in the qualifying tournament for the World Cup. Lionel Scaloni's men were eight points ahead of their closest pursuer. After qualifying, the Argentines scored a series of six consecutive wins in friendly matches, although they had no serious rivals. The day before, we managed to beat Honduras with a score of 2 in the class.:0. In that meeting, the squad was far from optimal, and many players from the nearest reserve got a chance to prove themselves. Today is the last sparring session before the start of the World Cup, there is a high probability that Scaloni will actively involve the main players.

Tip and bets
Icelanders know how to tune in to matches against top opponents. In the qualifying tournament, they put up a decent resistance to France, ended one meeting in a draw, and lost the second with a one-goal difference. There is no doubt that today Arnar Gunnlaugsson's team will make every effort to impose the fight on the reigning world champions. In Iceland's upcoming match, unlike the previous sparring with Japan, the main squad is expected, with all the leaders in the ranks. It is unlikely to be possible to beat the Argentines, but the Scandinavians are able to avoid a major defeat due to high dedication.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (+2) for Iceland by a factor of 1.88
Bet on the total
In the previous two friendly matches with Iceland, no more than two goals were scored. It is unlikely that the Vikings will risk playing open soccer with a noticeably superior opponent today, they will try to work reliably in defense and use their chances on counterattacks. We don't expect more than two goals scored in this sparring match.
The second bet is a total of less than three goals with a coefficient of 1.97
Betting on corners
The Argentine national team has seven wins in the last eight matches on corners. Obviously, it is the South Americans who will control the course of the game, most likely, they will easily arrange another victory in the corners.
Prediction – Argentina wins on corners with a handicap (-3.5) with a coefficient of 1.85
