Odds, picks & predictions

Argentina: -115
Draw: +240
Croatia: +370

Moneyline pick: Draw +240

Argentina are currently No. 2 in the FIFA World Rankings. Despite making into the semifinals, the Argentinians have hardly been dominant in the 2022 World Cup. Lionel Messi and company lost to Saudi Arabia and narrowly avoided an upset to Australia in the round of 16. Argentina then needed some luck to hold off the Netherlands on penalty kicks in the quarterfinals.

Even though the Argentinians are favored, this could be a tight match throughout. If it wasn’t for an outstanding save against Australia, then Argentina would’ve drawn in regular time twice in a row. That’s the case for Croatia, which has forced a regular time draw in three straight. There’s a strong case to be made for the “Blazers” to make it four in a row, and the +240 odds are appealing.
