England v Argentina: Preview, Stats and Best Bets

The second semi final renews the oldest rivalry in the World Cup, as England face Argentina in Atlanta with a place in the final at stake. These are the two highest scoring sides left, both with 13 goals, and every knockout game either has played has seen goals at both ends. Below is my full preview, with a best bet, two builders and three singles, all backed by the numbers.

Best Bet of the DayBoth teams to score 19/20

The Stats

BTTS has landed in every single knockout game both teams have played, six from six

Argentina have conceded in all three of their knockout ties, England in four of six overall

The two highest scoring sides left, with 13 goals each this tournament

Best Bet Builder7/4Add to Slip

England to win or draw

Over 1.5 goals

Nicolas Tagliafico 1+ foul

7+ corners

The Stats

England are unbeaten in 90 minutes all tournament

Every knockout game either side has played has had 3+ goals

Tagliafico has committed a foul in four of six and spends the night dealing with Saka

England average over six corners a game and Argentina keep conceding them

The big one, a World Cup semi final against the old enemy, and I fancy England to at least take this the distance, so the win or draw safety net is the anchor. Every knockout game these two have played has been open, so over 1.5 fits comfortably. Tagliafico has Saka to deal with all night which brings fouls, and England’s corner count has been strong throughout, so 7+ corners rounds it off. 7/4 with bet365 is a fair price on a classic in the making.

Bigger Priced Bet England v Argentina · 13/2

Bet Builder13/2Add to Slip

Harry Kane to score

Lionel Messi 2+ shots on target

Jude Bellingham 2+ fouls won

Nicolas Tagliafico 1+ fouls won

The Stats

Kane has six goals, is on England’s penalties, and their corner routine generated over 1 xG against Croatia alone

Messi has 2+ shots on target in four of six games, averaging three per game

Bellingham has been fouled in every single game, drawing 2.5 per 90

Tagliafico gets fouled at the other end too, four of six games, as Saka rarely tracks his overlaps

If you want a bigger price, this four leg builder puts the two captains front and centre alongside the players who get kicked most. Kane always scores in these games, Messi always tests the keeper, and Bellingham and Tagliafico are fouled constantly on their respective flanks. 13/2 with bet365 is a proper price for a bet grounded in the numbers.

Three Singles Worth a Look

Harry Kane 2+ shots on target

Why I like it

2+ on target in four of six games this tournament

Quiet by his standards against Norway, but England’s attack still runs through him against a high Argentine line

Jude Bellingham to score13/5

Why I like it

Four goals in his last two games, braces against Mexico and Norway

His late central runs arrive in the zone Argentina keep conceding through, and he is a near post threat on England’s corners

A penalty in the match9/4

Why I like it

Messi has been fouled more than any player left, and Argentina commit 13 fouls a game, box contact is coming both ways

Kane and Messi are two of the greatest penalty takers in history, so any award is near certain to count

VAR has been busy all tournament, it wiped out a Norway goal against England just last round

How we pick our World Cup bet builders

Each bet builder is built around angles we actually trust, not just long odds for the sake of it. That means team form, player shots on target and foul numbers, corner counts, referee card averages and how we expect the game to play out. We’d rather give you a 4/1 builder with four legs that all make sense than a 50/1 lottery ticket.
