Argentina, like Brazil, went through the world cup qualifying group stages undefeated, winning nine games and drawing five. They have accumulated 32 points in the first 14 qualification matches. In the standings, they are four points behind Brazil. They have 15 points from seven home matches, which puts them third in the league. In six games, they have only scored 22 goals and conceded seven goals. Lionel Messi tops the goal-scoring list with six goals along with Lautaro Martinez.

They are currently in sixth place in the points table, with three wins, four losses, and as many as eight draws from 15 games. They are three points behind Peru, but they have a better goal differential and are up to seven points behind Ecuador. They have the league’s fourth-best away record with seven points from seven games. They’ve also scored 16 goals compared to 18 goals conceded so far in the tournament.

Tipster’s Angle

Argentina is in splendid form as they have won the Copa America recently and are also unbeaten in the world cup qualifiers. So, they are likely to win this match. In terms of the goals, this is expected to be a low scorer.

Tip: Argentina To Win @ 2.056

Argentina has won four of their past seven head-to-head matchups against Colombia, with two games ending in a draw. In the previous nine matches, Argentina has played in all competitions, they have won seven and drawn two. Colombia has won three, drawn six, and lost one of its last 10 matches in all competitions. So far in the competition, Colombia has only won three games, while Argentina has yet to lose. Argentina recently beat Colombia in the Copa America played last year. So, it is very likely that Argentina will win the match at 2.056 odds available at the Melbet sportsbook.

Tip: Both Teams To Score – No @ 1.70

Argentina has scored a goal in seven of their last nine matches across all competitions while keeping clean sheets in seven of them. Colombia, on the other side, has five goals in as many games. In five of those games, they’ve seen clean sheets. In nine of the last 14 head-to-head meetings between Colombia and Argentina, neither team has scored. Both teams failed to score in each of Argentina’s last four head-to-head matchups against Colombia. At the 1.70 odds available at the Dafabet sportsbook, it’s quite likely that neither team will score.

Conclusion

Argentina is eight points ahead of the third-placed team in the standings, giving them a stronger chance of qualifying for this year’s World Cup in Qatar. Colombia is still vying for fourth place in the points rankings.
