After a shocking loss to Saudi Arabia in their first match of the 2022 Qatar World Cup, many had written off the Argentinians.

Will the Argentinians get it done versus Robert Lewandowski and Poland? Or will the Poles send Argentina home in shame?

Why Poland is a good play versus Argentina
Lewa and Poland are rolling. The Polish have won 3-of-4 with a draw. The draw happened versus solid team Mexico while the wins came against South American team Chile, World Cup participant Wales, and Saudi Arabia.
The 2-0 victory over Saudi Arabia impressed big time. Piotr Zielinski opened the scoring at the 39th minute. Lewandowski scored a goal at the 82nd minute.
Poland showed that they’re not at this year’s World Cup just to play during the group stage. Poland believes they’re at least a quarterfinals squad. Not only that, but a loss could send the Polish packing. So we should expect a great effort.

Why Argentina is a good play versus Poland
Who knows what happened in the match versus Saudi Arabia? But like all great teams, Messi and Di Maria rallied the troops to provide one of the most dominating performances at this year’s World Cup.
Mexico might be the CONCACAF’s best team. El Tri had drawn with Poland in their first group stage contest. The Mexicans were riding high and really believed they could beat Argentina.
Versus El Tri, Argentina controlled possession 58% to 42%, took 5 shots and 2 on goal to Mexico’s 4 shots and 1 on goal, and beat the Mexicans 2-0.

Final Betting Analysis: Poland vs Argentina
Poland is a solid squad, but Argentina’s victory over Mexico should put fear into the rest of the teams at this cycle’s World Cup.
The Argentinians didn’t just beat Mexico. They dominated El Tri. More importantly? Messi got a goal but so did sub Enzo Fernandez.
In fact, Argentina pulled Lautaro Martinez for Julian Alvarez and Di Maria for Christian Romero. What that tells us is that Argentina played as more of a cohesive group and that the Albiceleste is as deep as ever.
Argentina rolls in this match. Messi and his mates know a victory sends them to the knockout stage. The Albiceleste believe so we should as well. Messi and the gang win by at least 2 goals.
World Cup Pick: Argentina -1.5
