Argentina take on the visitors Saudi Arabia in the group stage round 1 match of FIFA World Cup. The match will be played on Tuesday, November 23rd at Lusail Iconic Stadium (Lusail).
Argentina gets one last chance at a trophy this generation. The "Albiselestes", of course, will continue to be among the favorites of any World Cup. But for Messi, this will be the last chance to win the World Cup - after all, La Pulge is already 35. Otherwise, he risks remaining in the shadow of his great predecessor, Maradona, who pulled out not only his clubs, but also the national team. In this regard, Lionel only lost the 2014 final. In general, for a long time this generation was exactly “silver”, losing a lot of decisive matches. But last year, Scaloni's men finally took the Copa America. And now they come with the maximum goals.

Saudi Arabia is good, but for its level. The Greens went to the 2nd World Cup in a row. By the way, in Russia they managed to win against Egypt with its Salah. Well, frankly, there was no chance against Uruguay and Russia initially. The goal for now, realistic one, is to perform no worse than 4 years ago. Although it will not be easy: again there are representatives of Europe and South America, but more abruptly, Poland and Argentina, and instead of "pharaohs" - Mexico! But there is a successful and experienced mentor, Herve Renard, capable of surprises. With him, the Saudis were able to confidently qualify, finishing in 2nd place in their group. And they looked quite worthy in friendly matches. But still, you need to remember that the team is now assembled exclusively from representatives of the national championship. And it, with all the investments in him and progress, is still not particularly quoted globally.
The sides first played in the Confederations Cup back in 1992 and Argentina won 3-1. But the friendly meeting of 2012 was without scored goals. Argentina are well aware that there will be much stronger opponents than Saudi Arabia in the future, and it is necessary not only to win, but also to secure goal difference, just in case. We bet on Messi and the company with a handicap of "-2.0 goals".
Prediction for the match: Argentina to win with -2.0 handicap.
