Netherlands vs Argentina 09.12.2022

The Netherlands remain unbeaten in this 2022 World Cup as they enter the quarter-final stage (P4 W3 D1). They now face their toughest test so far in Lionel Messi’s Argentina. The Dutch, though, will approach this game will lots of confidence based on how they outclassed the USA 3-1 in the Round-of-16 stage. All departments seemed to work very well and they will need a similar performance in this game.

Argentina are steadily getting the job done game by game and it is no surprise that they are in the quarter-finals. Lionel Messi opened the scoring against Australia in the Round of 16 for a 2-1 win. As long as he plays, Argentina look dangerous and are capable of beating anyone. They also defend very resolutely as they showed when they weathered a late rally by the Aussies to hang on to their victory.

There will be plenty of attacking talent on the pitch from both sides when these teams meet. What that means is that we can expect goals in the game. Netherlands scored 9 goals and Argentina 12 goals in their last 5 games respectively. We expect both teams to score in this game.
