Group B Gambling Predictions<\/p>\n

Matchup<\/strong>: Argentina v Nigeria
\nDate<\/strong>: Saturday, June 12, 2010
\nTime<\/strong>: 9:30 AM EST
\nVenue<\/strong>: Johannesburg
\nTV<\/strong>: (In USA) ESPN<\/p>\n

World Cup Fixture Odds<\/strong>: Argentina \u2013250 \/ Nigeria +675 \/ Draw +200<\/p>\n

This will be one of the most viewed matches of the early going. Fans and critics alike will watch with much anticipation to see Argentinean star Messi\u2019s initial World Cup match form, and to witness one of the African teams who could potentially do well in this first African World Cup.<\/p>\n

Argentina are the fourth favorites to win the competition outright, so they would widely be expected to win this, even though Nigeria could be seen to have the climate and home crowd support advantage.<\/p>\n

After stumbling through qualifying from leaking goals and lackluster play, Argentina landed in fourth place. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Their lack of consistency was hardly a surprise as Maradona has used almost 100 players since taking over.<\/p>\n

Though he may not be the most loved Argentinean coach, he led La Albiceleste to a victory in 1986 as a player, and saw action against Nigeria in the 1994 finals. This team will be big favorites coming in with a very good draw.<\/p>\n

Even if some of their troubles haunt them, the talent is there to move on. Veteran Juan Sebastian Veron will dictate tempo, and use his passing range to turn defense into attacks; but the hopes of the nation will rest on reigning FIFA World Player of the Year Lionel Messi.<\/p>\n

If he can perform on the international stage as he has with FC Barcelona, the Group B favorites will be a force at the end.<\/p>\n

Rest assured that Nigerian head coach, former Sweden boss Lars Lagerback, will build his team strategy around the solid play of Vincent Enyeama, possibly the best African goalkeeper around. Throw in Joseph Yobo their captain and midfielder, who has improved greatly in the last year, and you have a stingy squad with the ability to counter attack.<\/p>\n

Despite key playmaker John Obi Mikel ruling himself out of the World Cup amidst fears over his long-term recovery from knee surgery, the Nigerians will be confident that they have enough to get through this group despite lacking the star names of past years.<\/p>\n

They will be boosted by the fact they are on their own soil and despite struggles in their qualification group, they want that second spot. They lack stability and there is no team cohesion or real tactical plan. They will look to Obafemi Martins and forward Chinedu Obasi to score the goals to fire them through to the second round.<\/p>\n

Argentina looks to strong not to win this game, though if anyone in the group could upset them Nigeria would be the ones to watch.<\/p>\n

With the caliber of their team and the goal scoring potential of the likes of Messi<\/strong>, Aguero<\/strong> and Tevez<\/strong>, this could easily be the first high scoring game of the tournament.<\/p>\n

Argentina vs. Nigeria Round 1 Free Pick: <\/strong><\/p>\n
