ITALY – ARGENTINA: PREDICTIONS

Massive game in Rome as the Stadio Olympico hosts Argentina, Italy have been busy as they were involved in Confederations Cup and the team is certainly in the midst of a transformation.

Italy are coasting through a fairly difficult group in World Cup Qualifying. Sitting ahead of Bulgaria, Denmark and Czech Republic after 4 wins and 2 draws from their six matches.  They played in this years Confed Cup too but had a difficult run. Playing 5 with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat.  With 5 friendly matches also Italy have been one of the busiest sides in Europe, they managed 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeat to take their yearly tally to 16 games, 7 wins, 7 draws and 2 defeats. Scoring 33 goals and conceding 23 goals, for a huge and un-Italy like 3.5 goals per game. Top scorer over the year has been Mario Balotelli with 6 goals. Italy are ranked 6^th with 1142 points.

Argentina were unsure of calling on Lionel Messi but the Argentine great has been given the go ahead to join the squad.  Alejandro Sabella has moulded a squad of very good players into a very good team. Argentina have struggled to gel as a team over the past few years and the role of Messi in that side seems to be the crux of the problem. Sabella seems to have solved the problem and Argentina will go into the World Cup Finals as one of the favourites for the trophy. In qualifying they sit atop the South America section with 7 wins, 5 draws and 1 defeat. In recent friendly matches they have 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat from 6 games. Total goals in this time has been 38 scored and 17 conceded. For an average per game of  . Top scorer for the side has been Messi of course with 13 goals. Argentina have a ranking of  4^th and have gained 1210 points.
