The match is at +200 to end in a draw after regulation time.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe site writes: “It’s the obvious choice from an England perspective, but Harry Kane has already registered six goals and can thrive in the spaces created centrally when England’s fullbacks drive at the backline.”There’s also the added threat of England winning a penalty. With the dribbling ability of England’s attackers, that needs to be taken into account. So much has been said about Argentina’s fortune with referees this summer, but at some point, their tactics of holding in the box will surely result in a penalty being given against them.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThis site predicts a 1-1 tie after regulation time. It gives England a 37.1% chance of winning, Argentina 34.3% and a tie 28.7%.The picks: Jon Arnold: Argentina 2 – 1; Seth Vertelney: England 2 – 0; Jesse Yomtov: England 3 – 2; Victoria Hernandez: England 2 – 1; Nancy Armour: Argentina 1 – 0 (AET)The site writes: “Neither side have won a knockout game by more than a one-goal margin, which suggests a very keenly fought encounter. With just three days of recovery apiece and a place at the World Cup Final at stake, we expect both sides to adopt a cautious approach. At a 33% probability, the stalemate after 90 minutes feels like a solid starting point.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAlex Blowers writes: “England at -135 to advance is great value, but I’m going further. I’m backing England on the Moneyline at +160. We have more than enough quality and physicality to get past this Argentina side — as long as we turn up and perform. After everything this team has come through in the last three weeks, I have no doubt we will. And if we find ourselves 2-0 up, we won’t be making the same mistake
