Expert Betting Tips

Argentina is the strongest team in the world, so choosing the other side is risky. This is particularly the case given that Venezuela is a convenient opponent for the Argentines, as the statistics of H2H meetings demonstrate. If Argentina loses any points in the next game, they'll yield their lead in the standings. So, there's no need to talk about how motivated they are. We think the visitors will win, though we don't expect a large overall score. The reason is that the Venezuelans shot less than two goals per game on average, while Argentina has one of the best defenses in the world.
