TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Argentina are looking very strong and coach Sabella seems to have found the knack to harnessing Lionel Messi. Often isolated and with too much to do on his own the Barcelona forward is starting to perform for the national side as Sabella manipulates his formations to get the best out of the little genius. Aguero is the key player for me and Messi is developing a keen understanding with the City front man. Argentina are on a great run now and at home especially are a real force. Argentina still lack a certain toughness and physicality, this was exploited in the game with Peru.
Uruguay are playing some great football at the moment and have a team full of attacking talent. The backline is full of decent players but as a unit are not functioning at all and are conceding at an alarming rate. Gaston Ramirez will sit the game out injured but Uruguay have quality cover. With a forward line of Suarez, Forlan and Cavani the away side have the potential to destroy any team.

1X2 BETTING PREDICTION

1.50 Argentina (Pinnacle) is the selection in this difficult match. This is a very tough game for Argentina but at home they are usually unbeatable. Uruguay will do there upmost to disrupt Argentina and Messi in particular, but they may struggle to do this for 90 minutes. Defence lapses have cost Uruguay dearly and they cannot afford any against this lethal attack line.

ASIAN HANDICAP PREDICTION

Argentina is the pick here -1 at 1.85 (Pinnacle) Argentina have the quality to win by a few goals here as Uruguay's poor backline can be exploited. Argentina have been strong defensively and will need to be on top form here to repel Uruguay. I think Argentina will attack and this for them is the best form of defence. At home Argentina are too good and Uruguay will wilt at the Estadio Malvinas.

TOTAL GOALS PREDICTION

Over 2.50 1.73 (StanJames) is the bet here. Argentina and Uruguay's attacking talents and the Uruguayan defensive woes combine to push me towards over goals here. This will be a very open affair and could have plenty of goals. With Messi, Aguero, Cavani and Suarez among the attacking players on display there should be chance galore and the goals should flow.
