On June 15, Workers’ Stadium (Beijing) will host a friendly international match, in which Argentina will compete with Australia. The battle will start at 12:00 CET.

Argentina

The team had not won the World Cup since 1986 and took the Copa America in 1993. There were many finals after that, including those, which were spent with Messi. Still, Lionel and the company invariably lost the decisive fights. For instance, “La Albiceleste” lost to Germany at the World Cup in 2014 in Brazil. Then the coaching position was taken by Scaloni in 2018, he had been a good football player in the past with little experience of performance in the national team. He managed to turn the tide. First, the grandee finally took the continental-level trophy, the Copa America, and the end of the previous year brought Leo and his partners to the world gold medals. Nowadays, they actually have “exhibition” voyages, holding friendly matches. There happened the games against Panama (2-0) and even Curacao (7-0) in March, and now the Argentines are going to Asia, even without a number of familiar players like just married Lautaro Martinez, but with young Garnacho and Buonanotte.

Australia

The national team is curious about the decision to “get out of the comfort zone”. It objectively did not have any serious opponents in Oceania. And “the Socceroos” moved to Asia in terms of football at the beginning of the 21st century. There they won only 1 Continental Cup, when they were the host country in 2015. Still, it has been stable to play at the world championships since 2006. Moreover, they overcame the group stage, beating not only Tunisia, but also Denmark, in Qatar last year. To be honest, Argentina, the future winner, was extremely difficult to play: it scored twice, but then Fernandez’s own goal made the team feel nervous at the end to the very final 2-1 result. By the way, it has got friendly matches only with teams from South America in this cycle. Ecuador was hosted in Sydney and Melbourne in March – the opponents exchanged the victories.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

The Australians played with the grandee in the play-offs for the right to go to the World Cup in 1993. They even achieved a home 1-1 draw, but lost the second leg. And then they lost three times more.

Predictions

Bookmakers consider Argentina to be the favourite of the following battle. Still, it also coped with Australia at the World Cup, not without difficulty. Thus, we can try betting on nominal guests with “a +1.5 goal handicap” (odd: 1.98).
