BACK ARGENTINA TO WIN 2-0 AND ARGENTINA TO WIN TO NIL

Even though Argentina's defence hasn't really looked too strong, they are unlikely to be tested too much by  the Greek attack apart from at set pieces so they should be able to keep a clean sheet. Since they are also fancied to win the game the odds on Argentina winning to nil, which is winning with a clean sheet, look pretty good. The correct score looks to be a toss up between 2-0 and 3-0 but since Greece should approach this game quite defensively it should pay to go for the more conservative scoreline of 2-0.

BACK GONZALO HIGUAIN TO SCORE FIRST AGAINST GREECE

Argentina have the two top scorers from La Liga here who managed 61 goals between them and the highest scorer in that league was Lionel Messi, and he looks a fair bet to score at anytime during this match. An even better bet though could be backing Gonzalo Higuain to score first. Sergio Aguero scored more goals in qualifying but Higuain has been given the nod over him and his eye for goal has been proven for Real Madrid this season, Higuain is a nice price to score first against Greece.

The odds on Argentina winning at half time and full time are obviously better than Argentina just winning the match so if those odds were too short for you then this is probably the ideal betting market for you, back Argentina to be winning at both half time and full time.

Argentina v Greece Best Bet

BACK GONZALO HIGUAIN TO SCORE FIRST

Higuain proved he can finish off the chances that Argentina create in abundance when he netted a hat trick against South Korea and now that he has three goals he will be looking for even more to become the Golden Boot winner. Higuain should get plenty of chances against Greece and hopefully they will come before any other player scores.
