Argentina v Bosnia-Herzegovina Betting Tips and Predictions

One of the favorites start their campaign in this one and we have World Cup 2014 betting tips.

The World Cup is finally underway and for most neutrals one of the teams they all want to see is Argentina. With the likes of Messi, Aguero and Higuain in attack, supported by Di Maria and Gago in the Midfield, makes them a force to be reckoned with and arguably the best attacking line in the finals.

As second favourites to Brazil there is always expectation on the shoulders of the Argentina squad and none more so than in this tournament hosted by rivals Brazil. With such an array of talented players throughout World Cup history it is somewhat surprising that it is 28 years (6 World Cups) since their last success.

Having won the CONMEBOL group to qualify for the finals they averaged just over two goals per game, however, it is the Defensive strength that could well see this team go all the way in this years tournament. Argentina has yet to concede a goal in 2014 and possess a strong unit at the back. The only slight concern could be with their goalkeeper, Romero, who spent last season warming the bench for Monaco but did play in 14 of Argentina’s 16 qualifying games.

That said, on paper this Argentina squad look to be the ones to beat and at 4/9. (William Hill, Bet365, Paddy Power) they could be the team to back.

Taking part in their first ever World Cup Finals shows the massive progress made by Bosnia & Herzegovina in recent years. Narrowly missing out in the play-offs to qualify for South Africa 2010 they made sure of their qualification having topped their UEFA Group, losing only one of their 10 matches, averaging 3 goals per game and only conceding 6.  

They will arguably be Argentina’s toughest Group F opponents and with the likes of Edin Dzeko spearheading the attack ably supported by Misimovic and Pjanic in midfield they could just surprise the Argentineans in this opening game. That said, Dzeko and strike partner Vedad Ibisevic are the only two strikers in the Bosnian squad and Coach Safet Susic will be hoping and praying that both players, and indeed the rest of his starting 11, stay fit and free from suspension if they want to progress further in this tournament as strength in depth is not a phrase one would use to describe this squad.

Unlike their opponents, Bosnia comes into the tournament on the back of some mixed results. Defeat at home to the USA followed up by away defeats to Mexico and the Republic of Ireland would not be seen as ideal preparation but they will be hoping that these results were a temporary blip and that come Sunday 15^th June in Rio they are ready for the tough task ahead.

Having played against each other as recently as last November, Argentina were 2-0 victors on that occasion. In a game where Argentina are understandably short odds on favourites, this is a match to look at the different type bets to find the value.

Given the potent attacking forces of both teams it is a fixture that could well see both teams score so the Result/Both to Score market looks a good option here with Argentina & Yes at 12/5 with Bet365 the value bet. In addition, those who play the Half Time/Full Time market could well look to a possibility of a cagey affair in the opening game of the group and opt for the Draw-Argentina at 16/5 with William Hill. My stand out bet in this fixture would have to be Edin Dzeko to score anytime at 13/5 with William Hill.
