Kick-off: 2026-07-15

Argentina arrive in blistering form — a perfect WWWWW run with 14 goals scored and an average xG of 2.31 across their last three, led by Messi's 8 goals. England are also unbeaten (WWWWD) but score less freely (9 for) and lose defender Quansah to suspension. Both sides create and concede, so a high-scoring, open tie favours the Albiceleste attack; the bookmaker model (45% away, 45% draw) aligns. We lean Argentina/draw double chance and Over 2.5 goals.
