LiontipsArgentina - Cape Verde: betting tip (cf 1.90) and bets on the World Cup match
Command Analysis
Argentina
By the start of the World Cup, the Argentines were on a winning streak of seven matches, and they played with opponents noticeably inferior in class. This approach has been fully justified so far. In the very first match in the group, the Argentina national team clearly outlined its claims to achieve maximum results. We managed to beat Algeria 3-0. In the second round, Lionel Scaloni's team defeated Austria 2-0, the main competitor for the first place. It is characteristic that only Messi scored all the goals in these meetings, but at the same time you could see a clear team game, somewhat pragmatic football, when all the players do their job on the field. There was confidence that, even if not immediately, it would be possible to put the squeeze on any opponent.
In the final round, there was a game with Jordan, which had no tournament significance for Argentina. Messi appeared on the field only in the 60th minute, when the score was 2-1 in favor of the reigning world champions. Nevertheless, the veteran scored a goal and put a point (3:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Balerdi is injured. Romero's entry into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends

- The Argentines scored all three group wins with an advantage of at least two goals.
Provisional squad: E. Martinez – Molina, Otamendi, Lisandro Martinez, Tagliafico – McAllister, De Paul, Fernandez – Messi, Lautaro Martinez, Almada.
Current form
Reaching the World Cup playoffs is a huge achievement for the humble Cape Verdean national team. Moreover, Bubishta's team did not suffer a single defeat in the group. At the start, we managed to hold off Spain's attack (0-0). In the second round, there was a 2-2 draw with Uruguay. There was some luck in that meeting: one of the two goals was scored by the opponent's goalkeeper, and Krasnodar player Lenini scored the second goal with a great free kick.
In the decisive match, the Cape Verdean national team played against Saudi Arabia. This time, the Africans already had a tangible advantage, created many chances at someone else's goal, but the realization failed. Nevertheless, a goalless draw took them to the playoffs from third place in the group.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Arkanju is on the injured list.
Interesting betting trends
- In two of the three group stage matches involving Cape Verde, a draw was recorded.
- In four of the previous five matches, Cape Verdean players fouled less often than their opponents.

Tip and bets
In the playoffs, experience often comes to the fore. Argentina has an undoubted advantage in this regard. In terms of playing and selecting performers, the South Americans are noticeably superior to their upcoming opponent, who is competing in the World Cup playoffs for the first time. In addition to the individual skill of Messi, who scored six of his team's eight goals in the group stage, Scaloni's team is able to offer the Africans an unbearable pace throughout the match. Obviously, the Argentines will take into account the mistakes of Spain, when there was not enough speed in the development of attacks, which helped Cape Verde to contain the enemy.
Overall, it was with some luck that Bubishta's team made it to the playoffs, especially in the match against Uruguay. It is obvious that Cape Verde will play the second number, it will defend with great strength. But this will not be a problem for Argentina, as they have a large number of friendly matches against opponents who are noticeably inferior in class, where they regularly managed to open any defense. We expect that the Argentines will confidently advance to the 1/8 finals.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (-2) for Argentina by a factor of 1.90
Bet on the total
In two of the three matches in the group stage, the Argentines scored zero, and they conceded the only goal only in the final game against Jordan, when a mixed squad entered the field. The Cape Verdean national team was unable to open the defenses of Spain and Saudi Arabia, and it was almost impossible to create anything at the other team's gates. We believe that with a high degree of probability, Scaloni's wards will form another dry victory.
The second bet is Cape Verde will not score with a coefficient of 1.58
Betting on corners
In matches involving Argentina, it is not often possible to see a large number of corners. So, in four of the five previous fights, there were no more than eight corners. Based on this trend, we recommend another bet on the game.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is less than 8.5 with a coefficient of 1.96
