Italy vs Argentina Prediction: The Italians will have the edge.

Argentina and Italy will go to battle for all 3 points in Group G in a bid to be joint leaders of the group after Sweden defeated South Africa earlier. Italy and Argentina will be meeting for the very first time in this tournament.

Italy had a good run in the pre-season preparatory games as they won and drew one game. They won against Columbia and New Zealand and played a draw with Morocco. While Italy played 9 friendly games and won 5, lost 3 and drew 1 game.

The Italians look prepared for the tournament after their good performance in the build-up friendly games. Their performance in the Arnold Clark Cup was not satisfactory as they lost back-to-back games against Belgium and England but managed to beat South Korea to remain 3rd in the group. But they went on from the tournament to win 2 out of 3 of their friendly games and drawing one game.

Italy finished top of Group C in the 2019 Women’s World Cup tournament, ahead of Australia, Brazil and Jamaica. Then they defeated China 2-0 in the knockout stages before falling to a 2-0 defeat to Netherlands at the Quarter Finals. At the end of the tournament, they registered 9 goals and conceded 4 in 5 matches and they kept 2 clean sheets.

Team streak: no losses (4), less than 4.5 cards (9/10).

Argentina also had a good preparation before this tournament. They played 9 friendly matches and had 5 wins, 3 defeats and 1 draw. In their final friendly match, they defeated Peru 4-0. They will be hoping to carry on the winning form into the World Cup as they face Italy.

Argentina will be hoping for a better result in this World Cup after failing to go through the group stage of the 2019 World Cup. They were drafted into Group D, alongside England, Japan and Scotland and they ended in 3rd place with 2 points. At the end of the tournament, they scored 3 goals and conceded 4 goals in 3 matches, while keeping 1 clean sheet.

Team streak: first to score (5/6), less than 4.5 cards (6/7), less than 10.5 corners (6/7).

Both teams are looking sharp and ready for this clash but Italy is the favorite between the two because of the experience the Italian team possesses. The Argentine team will be feeling unlucky to be drafted in this group with very slim chances of progressing but a win here would mean a lot for them. We can trust the Italians to edge out the Argentines with a narrow scoreline.
