Argentina and Germany square off in a World Cup quarterfinal match on Saturday in Cape Town. The game features two world class teams who have been deadly this tournament.
The two teams have met five times in the past decade, with Argentina winning two matches, Germany winning one and the other two ending in draws. The most recent match produced a 1-0 win for Argentina in March. They had some historic matches in the ‘80s and ’90, like the two World Cup finals they split.
Argentina has been practically flawless this World Cup and were one of two teams to come out of the group stage without a loss. They easily beat Mexico 3-1 in the Round of 16. They have 15 goals in the last five matches, a staggering 10 of which in the World Cup. Even better, they have only allowed two goals.
Germany has also been very impressive with four wins and one loss in the last five matches. Their best performance came against England in the Round of 16 with a 4-1 victory. They also have 10 goals at the tournament, but have let in three.
Germany is easily overpriced for this match and deserves to be the same as Argentina. The teams are evenly matches but the edge goes to Argentina because of Lionel Messi. If he plays his best, he will be the difference maker. Granted, he has yet to score in South Africa, but his value to Argentina is unmatched so that is why he has good odds to get his first goal against Germany. Keep that in mind for your online gambling.
