Poland v Argentina: Leaders still in danger

“We felt eager to turn the situation around,” said Messi. “Luckily we won and that was a weight off our shoulders, and we have the peace of mind that it is all down to us again.

“I think the first half was difficult due to the situation and our need to win, we couldn’t find spaces, we weren’t moving the ball from side to side, but that was normal given our situation.

“In the second half we started playing our game, and started doing what we stand for. Long possession, finding space between the lines, then the goal changed the game.”

Messi has scored in both games so far and 13/10 for him to net again in a victory looks decent value in the Poland v Argentina odds.

Coral have plenty of other options involving Messi, who is 13/5 to open the scoring for a third successive match while an Argentina win and Messi to have two or more shots on target is 11/8 in the #YourCall market.

Low-scoring game could suit all

Poland head into their final match as underdogs but could afford to lose and still progress to the last 16, hence their World Cup Group C odds of 2/5 to go through.

With that in mid, the Copa America champions to win and under 2.5 goals is added to our Poland v Argentina betting tips at 21/10, while Messi’s men to win by exactly one goal is 23/10.
