France vs Argentina Betting Odds: Team news, recent form and predictions

France vs Argentina Preview:

The Round of 16 in the FIFA World Cup commences on 30^th June and the first match is to be played between Argentina and France. France would start this game as the favourites and Argentina would try to prove them otherwise. It is do or die match and both the teams are expected to bring in all firepower to the game and would aim to take an early lead in the game. Chances are higher that France would score early in this game because the Argentina defense is vulnerable and after the blunder by Mascherano in their last game, Argentina would try to keep things locked outside their penalty box. France, even if they take the lead, chances are that Lionel Messi would find the equalizer and the brilliance of this man can outshadow the whole France team. And, like in their previous four encounters in this game as well Argentina is most likely to register another win.
