Double chance : draw or Argentina

England come into this World Cup match in excellent form, having won three of their last five games and lost just once. Their attack has been lively, and they've shown they can score goals even when playing away from home. In contrast, Argentina have lost four of their last five matches, including three defeats in a row. They have been conceding multiple goals in each of those losses, which suggests their defense is struggling.

With no previous meetings between these two sides, this is a fresh contest. Given England's strong recent results and Argentina's poor run of form, England look to be the team in better shape and should be favored to win this match.
