England vs Argentina Prediction
England to qualify at 1.80 odds looks an appealing selection. The Three Lions appear to have slightly greater balance across the pitch, with Jude Bellingham arriving after scoring in back-to-back matches and Harry Kane continuing to lead the attack effectively. Their recent performances suggest they have the quality and composure needed to edge a fiercely competitive semifinal.
Each victory can be filed in the ‘Somehow found a way to win’ category as neither performance was particularly convincing with England coach Thomas Tuchel admitting his men were sloppy and ‘not fast enough’.
Both teams to score seems the most logical play because of the current state of each team’s defence and the individual brilliance within their ranks. And a final score of 1-1 could well be on the cards if the physical and mental fatigue of the six previous matches catches up with them in the final quarter.
