Italy vs Argentina Predictions and Betting Advice

Argentina plays very strong since Sampaoli sat on the bench of this nation. All of his previous successes were based on tough defense and extremely tactical approach to every game. Just remember how Chile played with him in charge or Sevilla for example. In the latest 10 games, they played 7 were with fewer than three goals. But if you closely monitored the Argentinians, all the competitive ones which had some significance were with two scores at most. On the other side, we have the Italians who are traditionally one of the best defensive teams in the world. Previous five in a row they played terminated under 2.5 goals. All this, points towards another low-scoring event. Highest football odds for this piece of Italy vs Argentina bets are at 888 Sports, so you might check this bookie.
