Argentina vs Australia will face each other again little more than six months after their exciting challenge in the 2022 World Cup, which saw Lionel Messi and his team take home the trophy.
Their head-to-head record shows they have played against each other eight times, with six victories for the South Americans and just one for the Oceanians. The most recent match was in the World Cup round of 16, where Argentina came out on top with a 2-1 scoreline thanks to goals from Leo, Julian Alvarez, and an own goal by Enzo Fernández. Will the Socceroos take their revenge this time?

Betting on Argentina (-500 on DraftKings)
Lionel Scaloni’s team currently sits at the top of the FIFA rankings, and they are determined to defend their post-Qatar 2022 reign in every match they play. In March, they defeated Panama and Curacao 2-0 and 7-0 respectively, showing the solid defensive wall the world champions have built. What’s more, they have not conceded goals in three of their last four games.
Looking at Argentina‘s six most recent games, the over (2.5) was covered in 83% of them, with at least four goals being scored in 50% of them. On the other hand, in four of their opponent’s past six games, the under (2.5) was broken, with two of them seeing four or more goals scored (33%).
Without a doubt, Argentina is the clear favorite to win this international friendly. Given their outstanding track record, a great option is to bet on them to win by covering the over (3.5), which has a DraftKings winning rate of (+130) and could win you $130 for every $100 you bet.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Emiliano Martínez; Nahuel Molina, Cristian Romero, Nicolás Otamendi, Nicolás Tagliafico; Enzo Fernández, Rodrigo De Paul, Giovani Lo Celso; Ángel Di María, Lionel Messi, Julián Álvarez.

Betting on Australia (+1000 on DraftKings)
“There is no better test than facing Argentina, who are the reigning world champions,” said Graham Arnold, head coach of the Australian National Team. However, he will have to face this challenge without several of his key players, including Aziz Behich, Craig Goodwin, Jason Cummings, and Milos Degenek.
Despite the absences, Arnold’s squad has caused trouble for this same rival before. They were close to taking the game to extra-time in Qatar against the eventual tournament champions. In fact, in 50% of Argentina vs Australia matches, the Oceania team has scored at least one goal.
With a fantastic line of (+110), you could win up to $110 for every $100 you bet if Scaloni and his team fail to keep a clean sheet at the Workers’ Stadium. Don’t miss this opportunity!
Probable lineup (4-1-4-1): Joe Gauci; Jordan Bos, Bailey Wright, Thomas Deng, Denis Genreau; Aiden O’Neill; Riley Mcgree, Kye Rowles, Connor Metcalfe, Brandon Borrello; Harry Souttar.
El Jefe’s Prediction on Argentina vs Australia
Australia is looking to shake things up in this FIFA date in Beijing. While it’s clear that they will face a tough challenge, the numbers suggest that we will see an even and exciting match. At JefeBet, we believe that Argentina will win by coming back in the game thanks to the individual level of their players.
In their last two friendly matches played against Ecuador in March, the Socceroos managed to take the lead in the first half. If the same scenario happens this Thursday and Argentina manages to come back and win the game, DraftKings is offering a great line of (+650) that could win you $650 for every $100 bet.
