Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Handicap 1 (-1) – 7.5
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Correct Score 2-0
Handicap 1 (-1)
Netherlands head into the Friday game more composed and focused than Argentina and are most likely to advance into the Semi Final.
After failing to win the World Cup despite making it to three finals, the Netherlands team are now more determined than ever to end the drought but they have to deal with an Argentina team desperate to usher out Lionel Messi with the World Cup trophy.
Correct Score 2-0
The last meetings between both teams have always resulted to a strong tussle for goal with each game ending with an under 2.5.
A repetition of this sequence is expected but this time in favor of Netherlands who are hungry for victory.
Netherlands

Netherlands evicted USA in the round of 16 to make it into the Quarter Finals following a 3-1 victory on the 3rd of December 2022. The side are on another superb run, having gone the whole of the competition without losing any match, dropping just 2 points following 1-1 with Ecuador in the group stage.
Argentina

Argentina bounced back from an opening day 2-1 loss against Saudi Arabia to seal qualification in the knockout stage where they met Australia. Having easily defeated Australia, Argentina will now look to battle Netherlands who are considered their first tough opponents in the competition.
Definitely not going to be an easy tussle considering their last 4 meetings have produced two victories and two draws for either sides. Argentina won just once while drawing two and losing the other.
Safe Bet
Considering the both team’s current form and statistics the safe bet option will be the option of no free-kick in the first 00:00 to 00:59 minutes that will only go south if either teams starts off in an unprofessional way.
Inter Milan’s Stefan de Vrij could be left on the sideline on Friday night following fears of an injury. On the other hand, Argentina risk missing out tough guy Rodrigo De Paul following fears of a hip injury alongside Papu Gomez who is feared to have suffered an ankle injury.
Netherlands: Noppert; Timber, Van Dijk, Ake; Dumfries, De Jong, De Roon, Blind; Klaassen; Gakpo, Depay.
Argentina: Martinez; Molina, Romero, Otamendi, Acuna; Fernandez, De Paul, Mac Allister; Di Maria, Messi, Alvarez.
