Argentina is ready to defend its world title this coming summer. In their last friendly before the championship, coach Lionel Scaloni's team faces Iceland.
Will there be goals?
In their first friendly, the world champions were quite frugal, winning only 2-0 against Nicaragua. Now we might see a bit more movement. The Icelanders are a brave team, but lacking in quality, especially considering that some key players are missing from the squad right now. The match is on neutral ground in the USA, so no one will have a significant advantage from that perspective.
Bet on 1/1 and over 3.5 goals
I think there will be more goals, after all.

Link to the original source in Bulgarian ➔Argentina passed through the World Cup qualifiers in the South American zone in an impressive manner and rightfully secured a spot in the World Cup. Their good form continues in friendly matches, where they are also racking up victories, although their opponents were not the most serious. The last test before the start of the World Cup seems like a good opportunity for the team to solidify their confidence.
Iceland struggles to find the right pathThe Icelanders do not arrive in the best mood, having failed to achieve a victory in five consecutive matches. About a week ago, they also lost their friendly against Japan, and their results overall do not inspire much confidence. Against a team like Argentina, their task seems even more difficult, especially if the opponent maintains their usual discipline in defense.
Prediction: Argentina to win without concedingAlthough friendly matches do not always carry maximum tension, Argentina impresses with their stability in defense. The team has played six consecutive friendlies, in which they have conceded only one goal. Therefore, I believe that the South Americans will achieve success this time as well, without allowing Iceland to score.
