Their last Chance

Qatar traveled to South America with great ambitions and untill now they proved to be quite strong. In their opening game, although they conceded two goals, they managed to equalize the game vs Paraguay (2-2) and if they were more concentrated in their final atempts they could have won. They continued their offensive play vs Colombia, but their opponent were clearly superior, so they suffered a 1-0 loss, actually they conceded the only goal of the match after 86 minutes played. Argentina are also a strong opponent for the Asians, who need only to win if they want to qualify to the knock-out games of the tournament.

Argentina's lack of form is a huge disappointment. In their opening game, they suffered an 0-2 loss to Colombia and then they played a 1-1 draw with Paraguay. Another game that Leo Messi and his teammates were full of apathy and made a lot of defensive mistakes, mostly individual. It was a happy ending the fact Lionel Scaloni's team got one point, since Paraguay missed a penalty to score the winner. Now Argentina look for a win desperately, possibly with a couple of goals to qualify (it depends on the results of the other games). A quite attacking 4-3-3 formation will be prefered this time from their 42yo coach, hoping for a better result. 'Albiceleste' will have Lionel Messi, Sergio Agüero and Lautaro Martinez in the offensive line.

Argentina are with the back against the wall and no mistakes are allowed if they want to qualify. Qatar have many ambitions, but everything depends on Argentina's performance. Goals are expected in this one, so over 2.5 goals at 1.70 will be my call.
