- Analysis
- My selection is on Argentina -1 goal over Austria at 1 pm et on Monday.
Bettors are clearly waking up to the dominance of Argentina as this price has been rising but still falls into a playable range in my opinion. Austria has already collected three points from its first match and enters on a winning streak but takes a major step up in class here. Argentina just doesn't concede often, not just goals, but even scoring opportunities in general. It enters this contest riding an eight-match winning streak and you would have go to back five games to find the last time it allowed a goal. I think this is another manageable matchup for one of the World Cup favorites and we'll lay the goal in an affair that figures to go 2-0 or 3-1 at worst. Take Argentina -1 goal (8*).
