Analysis

Argentina enters as marginal favourites despite England's respectable ranking, driven by flawless tournament form and superior goal differential. England's 1D in group phase raises defensive fragility concerns against Argentina's clinical finishing. A tight, high-quality encounter expected; Argentina's experience in knockout football and Messi's playmaking edge the prediction toward an away victory.
