ARGENTINA VS MEXICO PREDICTIONS AND 2010 WORLD CUP BETTING TIPS PART ONE

If you're looking to back Argentina to progress to the next stage of the tournament, then you'll likely be able to track down one of the best pre-match prices at Stanjames.com where they've got Argentina listed at a 1.62 price to take the victory in 90 minutes. 

Mexico are listed at a lengthy 6.5 price and usually when a team is that big of an underdog the favourite pays something closer to 1.3- so I think 1.62 is excellent if you fancy Diego Maradona and the boys. The draw is priced at 3.75 and I think that's a good bet for those who think the Mexicans will outperform expectations. 
In regards to outright qualification, you'll find Argentina priced at a slim 1.22 while Mexico are listed at 3.75. This market implies the match x extra-time x penalties where the previous prices were for the 90 minute match. 
I personally think that Mexico have a lot more to offer than they've shown in the past few matches and if they can do one of two things then they could very well sneak this match and shock the world. If they can keep the first 45 minutes scoreless and ruffle the feathers of the Argetines they could line themselves up to grab a quick goal, possibly from a set-piece, and then continue to defend while trying to hit Argentina on the break. 
Additionally, Mexico can play at 110% and instruct their forward to close down opposing defenders when they're on the ball. Argentina don't like this and if Mexico can keep that up and try to force errors, they can scrape a goal. I think if the Mexicans can give their strikeforce 5 good chances they'll convert one of them. 
If you think Argentina will run away with this one, try them on the (-1.0) handicap at a 2.38 price. You can back Mexico (+1.0) at 2.38 as well.
