Argentina vs Nigeria 2010 World Cup Predictions Group B Odds: Group B favorite Argentina, possibly the most talented team at 2010 World Cup South Africa, will put the ball in play against a skilled Nigeria side in Saturday's second Group B matchup at Ellis Park stadium in Johannesburg, 10 am Eastern (American).
World Cup Soccer oddsmakers at online sportsbook BetUS.com installed Argentina as -1 (-135) favorite ATS with a 2-goal over/under total. Nigeria backers are getting +650 odds on the BetUS moneyline while Argentina is giving -235. Bettors opting for a draw are getting +325 moneyline odds.
The talented Argentinians had a difficult qualifying stretch and will be re-energized when they start play in South Africa against Nigeria. Coach Armando Maradona, making his return to FIFA World Cup, has at his disposal two of the top scorers in Europe this season as they look to secure their third consecutive World Cup victory over an African side. Lionel Messi and Gonzalo Higuain, who amassed an astonishing 61 goals between them. Starting hopeful Carlos Tevez, for his part, notched up another 22 for Manchester City.
Nigeria also struggled during the qualifying phase, although they will be hopeful head coach Lagerback can help them rediscover their rhythm. They will go into this game anxious to reverse the trend of their previous two FIFA World Cup encounters with the Argentinians, in 1994 and 2002, which saw La Albiceleste run out winners on both occasions. They will look to exploit their 'home' advantage, and also build on their recent 3-1 friendly victory over Korea DPR.
Argentina will win because their attacking style will push Nigeria back. That’s where the game will be won by Argentina, who I am supporting along with all the other South American teams.
