England vs Argentina Prediction (15.07.2026)

Jude Bellingham was the hero for England against Norway, and if not him, then probably Harry Kane will be. Both have already scored 6 goals in this World Cup, making a total of 12 out of the 13 goals scored by England so far in the tournament. The English reach their fourth semi-final in a major tournament since 2018 – as many as in their entire history before that. Tuchel aims to become the first foreign manager in 48 years to reach the World Cup final, while England has not reached this stage since winning the trophy in 1966, having been eliminated in the semi-finals in both 1990 and 2018.

Argentina has not had a match without a dramatic turn in the knockout stages of the tournament, always coming out victorious in the end. Leo Messi is at the heart of everything, but it is a fact that he is not the only one scoring goals, and a goal can literally come from anywhere else and from anyone else in Scaloni's squad. Thus, Argentina is the highest-scoring team so far in the tournament. There is also something else interesting, and that is that Argentina has not lost in the semi-finals of World Cups so far, out of a total of five times reaching them.

It is a fact that Argentina scores, but also concedes goals as well. In general, this is true for England too, excluding the matches against Panama and Ghana. Argentina is at a higher level than them, and I wouldn't be surprised if we witness goals in both nets again.

England and Argentina will determine the second finalist of the World Cup. Although at first glance both teams appear to have solid defenses, their performances in the knockout phase show that they are not infallible defensively. Both teams conceded goals in each of their three matches in the knockout stage.

Argentina impresses mainly with its attacking play. In five of their six World Cup matches, the team scored three goals, showcasing its enormous offensive potential. At the same time, however, the defense makes mistakes and rarely manages to keep a clean sheet. England also boasts great quality in the attacking positions, led by Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham. The English scored in five of their six matches in the World Cup.

I expect a spectacular semifinal between two teams that possess extremely strong attacks but do not look flawless in defense. My prediction is for over 3.5 goals. If I had to name a goalscorer, I would go with Lionel Messi, who continues to demonstrate impressive efficiency and has all the prerequisites to score again.

England and Argentina face each other in the second semifinal of the 2026 World Cup. We will soon see who will qualify for the grand final of the tournament this Sunday.

Problems for both

Both teams have conceded a goal in each of their knockout matches, having been lucky at various moments in their games. Argentina narrowly escaped in the Round of 16 and showed many inconsistencies against Cape Verde and Switzerland. The team relies on the phenomenal level of Leo Messi, but the flaws in their overall play are evident. The English team also has several Achilles' heels, with injuries causing Thomas Tuchel to constantly change his lineup, creating disorder. Overall, the upcoming match is not easy to predict and could very well go into extra time.

Bet on 1X and under 2.5 goals

I think the goals may be fewer, and personally, I will still give a slight edge to the "Three Lions."
