The attention of soccer fans is focused on Euro 2024, but on this day some friendly matches will also take place, including Guatemala vs Argentina. Dailysports experts have prepared their variant of prediction for the upcoming battle.
Guatemala
Guatemala is not usually expected to perform strongly, the team is not a hopeless outsider, but rather an unpredictable mid-tier. In the period from late 2023 to 2024, the national team experienced a slump, namely not winning in 8 consecutive meetings.
Guatemala won their last match against the British Virgin Islands 3-0, although such an opponent cannot be considered serious. The match against the reigning world champions is a great honor, of course, the team will try to play as best as possible, although there are not many chances even to score.
Argentina
The Argentine national team does not need any special introduction, it is enough to remember that they are the reigning world champions. The team has a great lineup, even without the main star Leo Messi. The Argentines are leading their South American group of qualification for the World Cup, having won 5 meetings out of 6.
In their last match, the Argentines modestly beat Ecuador with a score of 1:0, the match was difficult and boring, the opponent skillfully defended and did not give much to create in attack. At the upcoming Copa America Argentina will play against Canada, Chile and Peru in the group.
Interesting facts about the match and history of head-to-head meetings
- The teams have crossed paths three times, and in all cases the Argentines have won resoundingly - 3:0, 4:0 and 5:0.

Everything comes down to the question of what score will win the reigning world champions. We expect the favorite to dominate and bet on the success of the Argentinians with a -2.5 goal handicap.
