Poland vs. Argentina SBG Odds Overview
Poland opened offshore betting action with a 0-0 draw against Mexico. Next came a 2-0 win over Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, Argentina was stunned in a 2-1 opening game loss to Saudi Arabia. Argentina won its second game 2-0 against Mexico.
Robert Lewandowski Leads Poland for Likely the Final Time
Poland has several international tournament demons to exorcize before it can contend for a spot in the World Cup knockout stage. At the onset is superstar legend Robert Lewandowski. The 2018 tournament seemed to be set up for the striker to stake his claim. Instead, the towering talisman went goalless in three group-stage matches as his side flamed out. Next came Euro 2020. With the striker at the peak of his powers amid a record-breaking season at Bayern, Poland appeared to be one of the dark-horse teams. But even with Lewandowski at his best, Poland failed to win a match and finished last in its group.
Now, as a Pot 3 team, the Poles will have to fight to try and avoid another international tournament disappointment. In turn, qualification was secured by a 2–0 win in the playoff against possession-dominant Sweden. Their ability to make the Swedes pay despite not having much of the ball may just be the formula for success.
Three losses, a narrow win, and a draw in the last five matches against World Cup-bound squads don’t exactly inspire confidence. But anything is possible with their superstar striker aging like fine wine since the 2018 failure.
Messi’s Final Chance at Being a World Cup Messiah
Since Lionel Messi broke through with Argentina on the international stage, one prize remains unclaimed. More than a decade of World Cup betting odds anguish on the international level was extinguished with a win over Brazil in the 2021 Copa América final. Hence, for the first time with his country’s first team, Messi lifted a major trophy.
Now, with an international trophy added to his already massive haul at the club level, Messi is looking for the ultimate award. If he’s to be believed, this will be his final attempt. Correlate, he may just have the team around him to do it.
La Albiceleste went unbeaten in 17 World Cup qualifying matches, conceding just eight goals. In turn, Argentina went unbeaten in 35 games, two shy of Italy’s world record (2018-2021). Finally, after years of instability, quarreling, and disjointed teams, a steady squad has been constructed around Messi.
