Poland vs Argentina Prediction

Poland 0-1 Argentina

First place in Group C is on the line when these two nations meet, a spot which Argentina did not expect to be in. With only three points at the moment, Argentina stand in second place in the group with no certainty of advancing. Poland remains undefeated at this World Cup with a draw against Mexico and a win against Saudi Arabia.

Poland will qualify for the round of 16 with just a draw from this contest, and will clinch first place with a win. Argentina can still advance with a draw, but will require either a draw or a Mexico win by less than four goals to go through.

Each team in Group C is still alive heading into this final group match.

Since the European team only require a draw to advance, they will have a defensive game plan, dropping at least six or seven players back to defend against the Argentine attack. I think this game play will be similar to the Argentina vs Mexico match, with Argentina dominating possession and Mexico struggling to create offensive opportunities.

Poland will rely on the counter-attack to find the back of the net in this contest, and with Lewandowski up, they are a legitimate threat to score anytime.

Poland vs Argentina Betting Tips

• This is the third meeting between the two sides at the World Cup. Both sides have won once, with the latest match in 1978 an Argentina 2-0 victory.
• The two nations have not played each other since 2011.
• Poland have not conceded a goal yet at this World Cup and Wojciech Szczęsny is a contender for the Golden Glove award with eight saves so far in the tournament.

WAGER: 1 Unit

Argentina will have to go for the win since they will not know the result of the Saudi Arabia vs Mexico match ( they will be playing at the same time). The Albicelestes will control the possession in this game, and a majority of this match will be played in the Polish half of the field. Back Messi and company to secure the top spot in the group with a low-scoring victory.
