Betting suggestion:
For this friendly match, Argentina despite having suffered for the classification of the World, must act offensively, but with doubts in their attack. The Italians, by their turn, doesn’t come with the same spirit and should make a calmer match, but will play the match. Therefore, the chances of goals must happen sometimes, where the defensive lines must be less attentive.
