Why Italy is a good bet versus Argentina
Italy is playing great soccer leading up to their first group stage match. The Italians have won 3-of-4 with the lone non-victory a draw versus defensive power Morocco.
Granted, the matches were international friendlies that didn’t mean anything. Still, for the Italians to win the way they have impresses. Colombia, South Korea, and New Zealand are solid clubs and the 2-1 loss to England at the Arnold Cup makes sense because the English might be the best team in the world.

Why Argentina is a good bet against Italy
If we’re looking only at form, Argentina’s is better than Italy’s. The Argentinians have won 4-of-5. The Albiceleste beat New Zealand twice, which has to impress after seeing how the Zealanders pulled off the upset against Norway.
The 3-0 win over Venezuela and the 4-0 victory against Peru were both dynamite victories. Player to player, Italy might be better, but Argentina could be the more cohesive bunch.

Final Betting Analysis: Argentina vs. Italy
The Albiceleste versus the Azzuri should be one of the more entertaining group matches. Both teams have played excellent soccer leading up to this matchup. Argentina has proven impressive when winning 3-of-4.
Argentina’s only loss came via penalty kicks in a match against Italy. But, no doubt, the Italians have played against much better teams.
Still, this is a World Cup where unfamiliarity often helps the underdog. Even Vietnam managed a 3-goal loss versus the U.S. as a +6.5 handicap dog.
It’s tough to call the outright regulation upset because Italy is so solid. Instead, Argentina plays well enough for a draw.
