ARGENTINA VS MEXICO PREDICTIONS AND 2010 WORLD CUP BETTING TIPS PART TWO
The bookmakers don't favour a lot of goals here and the over/under of 2.5 goals favours the under at 1.73. The over is listed at 2.1 and I'd be more tempted to back that.
Argentina are favoured to score first at a slim 1.36 price while Mexico are available at 3.5 to score the first goal. No goals in the match are listed at 10.0. The over/under on the time of the first goal is the 28th minute with both options priced at even money.
If Mexico can win the first half, they're priced at 6.5 while Argentina are listed at even money.
Should the match go to extra-time, Argentina are 10.0 to win it in the extra 30 minutes and 12.0 to take it on penalties. Mexico are listed at 13.0 for extra-time or penalties.
Unsurprisingly, Lionel Messi is listed at 1.91 to score a goal at any time while the Argentine superstar is available at 4.5 to score the opening or closing goal.
Gonzalo Higuain is also favoured to score and he's listed at an odds-on price of 2.0. He is 5.0 to score first or last while Diego Milito and Carlos Tevez both trade at 2.38. Sergio Aguero could see some action here and he's priced at 2.63 anytime.
For Mexico, they'll be looking to Javier Hernandez and he's priced at 3.25 anytime and an enticing 10.0 price to score first or last. Guillermo Franco is well-priced at 3.75 while Giovani Dos Santos is available at 4.0, alongside Carlos Vela.
It's also worth keeping your eye on Rafa Marquez as he's listed at 9.0 anytime. If the match is tight, then I can see the goal coming from a set-piece which means that Marquez is likely to be involved.
I think that Argentina are justifiable favourites and it's a fairly decent price on them to win in 90 minutes. However, I do think that they are beatable and an upset is probably due. I think Mexico are one of the trickier sides that Argentina could have faced and they have strikers who can score if given the opportunity. If you're a Mexican fan, I'm going to tell you to back a 3-2 90 minute victory at 67.0 or a 1-0 win at 10.0. If you're going for Argentina, I'd say 4-1 at 21.0 and 3-1 at 10.0 are decent shouts.
