Argentina vs Saudi Arabia - 22.11 - Predict for the Match
On Tuesday, November 22, Argentina and Saudi Arabia will face each other at the Lusail Stadium in Lusail, Qatar. The teams along with Poland and Mexico represent Group C.
Discussion about the upcoming match, in our opinion, should start with the positions that each of the teams occupies in the FIFA rankings. If Argentina holds the third place, then Saudi Arabia boasts only 51 places in the table. This clearly demonstrates how the nominal hosts, led by two Lionels (coach Scaloni and captain Messi), are superior in class to the opponent.
While the Argentine national team is filled with star names (in addition to Messi, the team is represented by Paulo Dybala, Lautaro Martinez, Christian Romero and others), the players of the Saudi Arabia national team play without exception in the domestic championship.
Given the high performance and undeniable class of the Argentina national team, we believe that it is they who will win by scoring 2 or more goals. If you want to bet with higher odds, make a combo of Argentina's win and total over 2.5.
