Argentina has met Switzerland in the World Cup twice before, with the South American side winning on both occasions.

The nations first met in 1966 at the tournament in England, with Argentina coming away 2-0 winners.

The countries would meet once more in 2014, Argentina would win once more, with Angel Di Maria scoring in extra time to send his side into the quarter finals that year.

Argentina vs Switzerland Picks

Argentina have not been in their true form over the course of this World Cup, but they have still got to this stage by winning. Lionel Messi is still at the level we all expect and it will no doubt be down to him to get his nation through this game.

Switzerland is in unknown territory but that just makes them all the more dangerous. This is a free hit to them and one they can go at with all they have got.

I’m taking Argentina to win a close game deep into extra time.

Other markets include Lionel Messi to score and assist, Lautaro Martinez to have two or more shots on target and Breel Embolo to have two or more shots inside the box.
