Argentina vs Saudi Arabia Bet Builder: Tuesday, November, 22nd
We have Argentina vs Saudi Arabia bet builder tips to get stuck into as the World Cup rumbles on. Messi & co came into the tournament as second favourites behind Brazil so they will be keen to lay down a marker in their opening match.
Saudi Arabi haven’t travelled far to neighbouring Qatar so they be more acclimatised than the South American giants. It’ll be interesting if that has any impact on Tuesday’s match.

Argentina vs Saudi Arabia Preview
Tuesday, November 22nd, 10:00 (UK)
Argentina get their World Cup campaign underway on Tuesday. The South American giants are many people’s pick to lift the trophy and it’s easy to see why. Lionel Scaloni is blessed with an array of attacking talent that will strike fear into any opposition defence.
This will surely be Messi’s final bow at a World Cup and the last chance to go home with the trophy. The seven-time Balon d’Or winner has been in fine form for PSG this season with 12 goals and 14 assists so far. He has taken on a deeper creative role than in recent years. This could benefit players like Lautaro Martinez and Julian Alvarez in Qatar.
They take on Saudi Arabia at the Lusail Stadium on Tuesday. This is the largest of the venues for the World Cup and will host the final on December 18th.
The Saudis have lost just one of their last seven matches. Their warmup game with Croatia ended in a 1-0 defeat after a late goal from Andrej Kramaric. Saudi Arabia were the better team for long periods of the match so Argentina will have to be wary. They’re well-drilled and will hope they don’t roll over like previous Saudi sides at World Cups.

Lionel Scaloni’s side are unbeaten in 35 matches heading to Qatar. They have conceded just two goals and scored 26 in their last 10 matches. The World Cup group stage is short and there can be no slip-ups for the big nations if they want to go far. Argentina are a short price to win but it’s worth adding it to our bet builder given their recent form.
The Albicelestes have a formidable attack but the Saudis have defended well in recent matches. Herve Renard’s side haven’t conceded two or more goals in any of their last 10 matches. Admittedly, Argentina are a step up in class but expect a cagey start as the South Americans get into their stride.
Messi and co are capable of dismantling any opponent. However, they should coast if they take a comfortable lead; with the next game against Mexico just four days later. Under five goals in the match looks like a good pick here.
Finally, we are expecting the favourites to keep a clean sheet so it’s going to be a win to nil. Argentina have a stellar defensive record. They have kept 15 clean sheets in their last 20 matches and are conceding an average of 0.25 goals per game over that period.
Saudi Arabia have scored in five of their last 10 matches. The highest-ranked opponents they played over that period were Colombia and Croatia. They failed to score in either of those matches.
