Meanwhile, Bosnia-Herzegovina will take on Nigeria in Cuiaba the following night, knowing a win will keep them in the hunt for qualification. Read this World Cup Group F betting article ahead of these upcoming group games.

Argentina vs. Iran betting (June 21st)

Lionel Messi led Argentina to a 2-1 victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina in the Estdio do Maracan on June 15th, giving them the perfect start to their World Cup campaign. The second outright favourites will now face an Iran side that are expected to be out of their depth in this encounter, despite a disciplined display in their 0-0 draw against Nigeria.

Another Argentina win is available at 1.110* on the 1×2 at Pinnacle Sports – a 90.09% implied probability – whilst bettors can get 31.960* on Iran (a 3.13% chance of an upset).

Bettors should definitely expect more attacking prowess from the likes of Sergio Aguero and ngel di Mara in this encounter. The pair were looking slightly lethargic after long domestic campaigns with Manchester City and Real Madrid respectively. Pinnacle Sports are offering 1.917* on OVER 3 goals between Argentina and Iran, whilst 2.000* is available on UNDER 3.

What’s more, with Ezequiel Lavezzi, Rodrigo Palacio and Gonzalo Higuan all in the squad, goals are always on the horizon for Argentina, who are being offered at 1.943* on a -2 and -2.5 handicap.

Nigeria vs. Bosnia-Herzegovina betting (June 22nd)

Both of Nigeria and Bosnia will have high hopes of qualifying from Group F – which is still wide open. Nigeria are currently being offered at 3.420* to advance – (a 29.24% implied probability) – whilst Bosnia-Herzegovina are available at 1.565* (63.90%).

Perhaps the European’s chances are being considered more likely after their encouraging display against Argentina, whilst Nigeria will be disappointed with just a draw against Iran and will aim to get a win under their belt.

With Edin Dzeko leading the line for the Bosnians, goals are always considered a possibility, whereas Nigeria were the lowest scorers in qualifying and showed a real lack of creativity in front of goal against Iran. Bosnia-Herzegovina are 3.480* to win with a clean sheet in the upcoming fixture, whilst 1.990* is available on NO for both teams to score.
