Argentina vs Switzerland
📖 The Preview
Argentina have been absolutely relentless lately, nine wins on the bounce, and Switzerland just cannot match that level of consistency going into a knockout tie. The Swiss have drawn three of their last ten and taken a loss, so there are question marks about whether they can go toe-to-toe with this Argentina side for ninety minutes. Doubts over Jaquez and Aebischer do not help their cause either. Switzerland will nick one, the stats suggest both teams score, but Argentina's quality and momentum should see them pull clear and run out 3-1 winners comfortably enough.
