Top England vs. Argentina predictions
After examining Argentina vs. England from every angle, Green is leaning Over 2.5 total goals (+132). Five of the last seven meetings between these nations have gone over 2.5 combined goals. In this tournament, each of the three knockout matches for both teams went over 2.5 goals. England’s averaged 3.7 total goals over their last three contests, while Argentina’s averaged 4.7 combined goals over their last four, and the Argentines have scored more than 2.5 goals, alone, over their last four matches.
“Both of these teams struggle to defend. Cristian Romero is error-prone, and Lisandro Martínez is weak in the air, so they will find it difficult to contain Bellingham and Harry Kane,” Green told SportsLine. “England’s defense is also leaking goals, and goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has been a little shaky at this tournament, so Argentina should also find the back of the net.” See Green’s best bets for England vs. Argentina at SportsLine, and you can bet the Over in Argentina vs. England at FanDuel here:
