Argentina take on Cape Verde in the Round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup, kicking off Saturday 4th July at 8:00 AM AEST. Here’s our prediction for the game, plus the bets we like and the best odds markets at Neds.<\/p>\n

Argentina\u00a0enter\u00a0this one as deserved\u00a0favourites, and with Lionel Messi still pulling the strings alongside Lautaro Martinez, Julian Alvarez and Alexis Mac Allister, they should have no trouble controlling possession and dictating the tempo.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cape Verde\u00a0won\u2019t\u00a0be there just to make up the numbers, though. The Blue Sharks are likely to sit deep, stay compact, and try to frustrate Argentina before looking to break through the pace and power of Ryan Mendes and Garry Rodrigues.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The longer\u00a0Cape Verde\u00a0keep this tight, the more interesting it becomes, but Argentina\u2019s class in the final third is hard to ignore.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Expect the world champions to wear them down eventually.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prediction:<\/strong> Argentina to Win & Under 3.5 Goals @ $2.70<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Value:<\/strong> Both Teams to Score @ $2.88<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Player Pick:<\/strong> Lautaro Martinez Anytime Goalscorer @ $1.75<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
