Could we see some fireworks in this match and perhaps a shock? Read our preview and find out what are Nigeria vs Argentina predictions!
Nigeria vs Argentina previous matches
There is a really interesting situation in this group as all of the teams still have a chance to advance to the play-offs. Nigeria with 3 points has a slight advantage over Argentina. They played a good match against Iceland and still hope to go to 1/8.
Argentina is now probably a biggest disappointment of the tournament. Firstly they got a draw against Iceland 1-1 and lost to Croatia 3-0 after a terrible match. If they won't be able to play better agains Africans, they cannot hope to go further.
Argentina start the 2018 World Cup at 21.00 with bet365 to win the tournament and there are handful of nations with shorter odds than the South American team. These betting odds have perhaps lengthened following a heavy defeat at the hands of Croatia but rest assured, when it comes to this match, Argentina will be ready.
It’s no secret Argentina struggled during their qualifying campaign and they were pulled through it by their talisman, Lionel Messi. The two teams met in the previous World Cup and it was Argentina who came out on top and they will expect to do the same again.
Argentina are the favourites to win this match, priced at 1.55 with bet365.
Nigeria will have fond memories of the last time the teams met, as they defeated Argentina 4-2 in a friendly match back in November 2017. In fact, Nigeria have won two of the last four meetings between the teams and although they were both friendly fixtures, the results will give the African team some hope in this game.
However, the bookmakers believe they have little chance of picking up maximum points and Nigeria are out at 6.50 with bet365 to win the match. The draw is also available at 4.33 but this has only happened once in 8 games between the teams.

Our Nigeria vs Argentina betting tips, you ask? Something which is clear when looking back at previous fixtures between Argentina and Nigeria is both teams like to attack and score goals. The latest friendly match saw 6 goals scored and their previous World Cup meeting saw 5 goals scored.
