Argentina vs Austria 45/1 Bet Builder Tip

Argentina are hoping to build on their excellent start to the World Cup as they take on Austria this evening.

Argentina kicked off their tournament with an excellent win, beating Algeria 3-0. To put the cherry on the cake, Lionel Messi equalled Miroslv Klose's record as the all-time leading scorer in the World Cup with a hat-trick.

In a tournament where many of the main contenders have underperformed, Argentina delivered a strong performance and given this is their toughest group game on paper, they have a chance to make another statement.

Austria, meanwhile, beat Jordan 3-1 in their opener. The European side have high hopes coming into this tournament, and with three points in the bag they'll feel like they're likely to make the knockout stages.

Should they spring a shock on the holders, it would likely be the result of the tournament so far so they'll be motivated to turn up and perform.

With that in mind, we've compiled a 45/1 Mega Bet Builder with bet365, as well as a preview of what they can offer you during the World Cup this summer.

Bet Builder Reasoning

Argentina To Win

Argentina are the number one ranked side in the world and come into the game in excellent form, winning nine of their last ten games. They surged past Algeria with a 3-0 win in their opener, setting the stage for another big win here.

Both Teams To Score

These two sides rarely draw a blank in front of goal, with each team scoring in nine of their last ten games. With Austria ranked 24th in the world, this should be far more even than any of Argentina's other group fixtures.

Lionel Messi To Score Anytime

Lionel Messi is Argentina's all-time leading goalscorer and coming off the back of a hat-trick in Argentina's opening game, he'll feel primed to impact this fixture.

David Alaba To Be Carded

David Alaba is one of the more card-prone players in this game, with the Austrian defender averaging 0.32 cards per 90 - a total that exceeds that of any other player in the Austria squad.

Julian Alvarez To have 1+ Shots On Target

Argentina striker Julian Alvarez is coming into the game off the back of a fine campaign, and the striker averages 1.34 shots on target per 90 when playing for the national team, making him a potent attacking threat.

Marko Arnautovic To Have 1+ Shots On Target

Despite his age, Marko Arnautovic remains a talisman for Austria, with the striker scoring more goals than anyone else in World Cup qualifying. He also averages 1.09 shots on target for Austria.
