Double chance : Argentina or draw

Argentina have been struggling lately, losing four of their last five matches and letting in several goals. However, they did manage one convincing win, and in this World Cup match they will be desperate to turn things around. Switzerland have also had a difficult run, with no wins in their last five games and very few goals scored. Their recent matches have been low-scoring, including two draws and three losses.

Neither team is in good form, which makes this a tight and cautious match. Both sides will likely be more focused on not losing than on taking risks. Given Argentina’s poor form at home and Switzerland’s inability to score, a draw seems the most realistic outcome.
