Looking at the pre-match odds, many may think this is a David versus Goliath type clash. They wouldn’t be far wrong.
Argentina come into this game ranked 37thin the FIFA standings. Japan, on the other hand, are one of the tournament favourites and are currently ranked 7th.
If that’s not enough evidence to prove the wide gulf between these nations, just take a look at World Cup records of the two teams.
Japan’s all-time World Cup record is a strong one with 13 wins, 13 defeats and three draws. Argentina, meanwhile, have lost all six of their World Cup games.
What’s worse for Carlos Borrello’s side is that two of those World Cup defeats have come against the Japanese (6-0 in 2003 and 1-0 in 2007).
With that in mind, the betting recommendation in this game is to back the Asian outfit.
However, with Japan enduring some though results in recent warm-up games, the 15/4 shot on a Japanese win by a margin of one goal looks the logical way to go.
