Argentina vs. Switzerland Predictions

• When: Sunday, July 12, 3:00 AM CET
• Where: Dallas Stadium, Arlington, TX, USA

Argentina has definitely become one of the most hated teams in the World Cup, as it constantly receives pushback from officials. But against Egypt, this team showed fantastic resilience and mental power, overcoming a two-goal deficit in 15 minutes and completely flipping the score. As for the Swiss side, it eliminated Colombia in a penalty shootout, reaching the quarterfinals by taking advantage of a very weak side of the draw.

Argentina vs. Switzerland Preview

Argentina

In less than 15 minutes, Argentina made one of the biggest ever comebacks in World Cup history. From 0-2 to 3-2 and the place in the quarterfinals, the Argentinians once again amazed the world. Yet, they once again received help from the officials, and we need to say that as well.

There were some pretty controversial decisions on the pitch, and almost all of them were in Argentina’s favor. When Messi’s side conceded the second goal, the cameras captured FIFA’s president Infantino being, let’s say, unhappy.

But to get back to betting. In 4 of 5 World Cup games, Messi and the crew netted three goals, and in all of them, we saw them hit the back of the rival’s net at least twice. Also, the Gauchos have conceded in their past three appearances.

Switzerland

There’s no beauty in Switzerland’s game, but on the other hand, there’s a result. This team does not have any standout talent or superstars, but it works well, and it has excellent chemistry on and off the pitch. That’s why it’s always in the knockout stage of a big tournament.

The Swiss opened the tournament with a tie against Qatar, but after that, they posted 4 wins in a row. We saw them beat Bosnia, Canada, Algeria, and now Colombia. The match against Los Cafeteros ended scoreless, but Switzerland advanced on penalties, 4-3.

After conceding a goal in each group match, Switzerland tightened its defense, keeping clean sheets in both knockout-stage games.

Argentina vs Switzerland Head to Head

Argentina vs. Switzerland Predictions

The Argentinian unit is one of the best in the world, and on top of that, it has very clear support from the officials. The Swiss side is good, let’s say even excellent, but in this case, with the stakes high as they are and all the circumstances, Argentina is a massive favorite.
