Argentina vs Nigeria Prediction: Argentina has a more experienced and skilled squad

Prediction for the match between Argentina and Nigeria, which will take place on June 1. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Argentina is one of the most successful teams in the Under-20 category. They have won the Youth World Cup six times in their history, most recently in 2007. After that, the results slowed down. Moreover, before the World Cup 2023, the Argentines crashed out of the continental championships, failing to qualify from the group. Fortunately, they still managed to qualify for the tournament, being the hosts. At the World Cup, they have so far shown good results: they beat Uzbekistan 2:1, Guatemala 3:0, and New Zealand 5:0, topping Group A in their opening three games.

The Nigerian team is another regular participant in the World Youth Championships, and their best results were in 1989 and 2005 when they became the vice-champions of the world in the under-20 category. They also qualified for the 2023 FIFA World Cup, although not without problems, when they reached the semi-finals at the African Championships. At the World Championships in Argentina, they had an uneven showing. First, they beat the Dominicans 2:1incredible great difficulty. Then they sensationally snatched victory against the Italians 2:0. In the third round, they failed to beat the Brazilians 0:2, and as a result, they slipped down to third place in Group D but made it to the playoffs after all.

The Nigeria national team won the World Cup 2023 with a sensational 2:0 win against the Italians, but they were not as productive in their other two games at the tournament. The Africans are unlikely to be favorites in the upcoming encounter, as Argentina has a more experienced and skillful squad. They have failed to drop a single point in their three World Cup group-stage matches, winning them all by a combined score of 10:1. We should bet on the victory of the Argentinian national team with a total over 1.5.

The Argentinian national team has been beating everyone in a row lately and performing well offensively. It all started before the World Cup 2023 when they beat the Dominicans 4:0 and scored 14 goals (3.50 per game on average) in their last four matches. If we take the same period for the Nigerian national team, the Whites scored and conceded 13 goals (3.25 average per game). Therefore, we see the best option for our prediction is a total over 2.5. We recommend looking at the Argentinian national team's individual total over 1.5.
