Argentina take Australia in a friendly international match. The match will be played on Thursday, June 15th at Workers' Stadium (Beijing).
Argentina are currently only playing friendly matches. The "Albiceleste" finally became world champions again, for the first time since the days of Diego Armando Maradona. Scaloni managed to lift the curse of lost finals even before that, which had haunted Messi and his teammates for decades. He started his tenure as the national team coach by winning the Copa America, defeating Brazil on their home soil. And in Qatar, they managed to win the World Cup "gold" as well. However, the current triumphant team is playing with almost the same lineup (minus Lautaro Martinez, Dybala, and a few other leaders, with Buonanotte and Garnacho being called up), and they don't shy away from facing opponents like Curaçao, whom they convincingly defeated in March.

Australia have confirmed its considerable level of play. The "Socceroos" are currently competing in the Asian region. They even managed to win the continental cup in their "home" tournament in 2015. And the most important thing is that they have maintained a stable level of play despite not having stars of the caliber of Cahill and Viduka. The current squad not only qualified for the World Cup but also progressed from their group (after a 1-4 defeat against France, they secured 1-0 victories against both Tunisia and unexpectedly Denmark). As a result, they reached the playoffs, where they fought valiantly but lost 1-2 to Argentina.
The national teams faced each other in the playoffs for the World Cup spot in 1993. Australia managed to secure a draw, 1-1, in the first leg. However, they lost the second leg and consistently suffered defeats until last year's World Cup. Argentina is considered the clear underdog. However, it's worth noting that Australia is a strong and competitive team. We'll bet on the victory of the nominal guests with a handicap of "+1.5 goals."
Prediction for the match: Australia to win with +1.5 handicap.
