Forever the outsiders or even the outright favourites for some going into any tournament, Argentina again boast a front line that is the envy of the rest of the world. Despite this, there are not as many household names or previous names from older World Cups appearing in this Argentina side in other positions. What they have up-front in the form of Sergio Aguero, Gonzalo Higuain and of course Lionel Messi is nothing short of frightening.
They provide an incredibly comical to watch imbalance at the back, as usual when entering a tournament. Despite being a nation known for rugged and determined football as well as a fine blend of skill and guile, the Argentines have went into few recent tournaments with a top defence.
This means that we suggest that Bosnia at 8.00 to win the match could be a good selection. The debutants bring a squad of rogues and miscreants from across the globe but they also have true world-class players like Edin Dzeko upfront. As well as the talismanic yet outlandish Misimovic and Sejad Salihovic who packs an incredibly gifted ranged of set-pieces and deliveries at times, Bosnia are an interesting shout.
However, this is the World Cup for Messi to turn up and win and given his frustrations at club level the last year or so, he will be fit and firing. We predict an Argentina win at 1.40 might not be the biggest amount of money you are ever going to receive but the opening rounds are usually a good indicator who will do well and we predict Argentina to impress at this tournament for once.
