Argentina vs Saudi Arabia Prediction and Final Insights

Argentina and Saudi Arabia last met a decade ago that is in 2012 in an international friendly match. The match ended in a goalless draw. Prior to the last match, the two teams have met only on 3 occasions, with Argentina winning two matches and one match ending in a draw.

Tuesday’s match classically represents a David and Goliath Tale. Argentina with its tails up is one of the favorites for this World cup and statistically has all bases covered. The solidity in defense adds to the already strong attack.

Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, has been sensational with its defending but the major problem for them has been their attack with the Arabian failing to score multiple times.

Going into the match, Argentian are hot favorites, and we predict a win for the Messi-led side. The predicted score for this match is 2-0 in favor of the Argentian.
