We have our Argentina vs Wallabies prediction for the 2nd test on Sunday, September 6, at 9:10 AM.
It was a thrilling contest in the 1st test, and we expect more of the same for the 2nd test, where Australia are the current favourites.
Our Argentina vs Wallabies tips look at the best bets for the big game, and the latest rugby odds are available at Betcha.
With four losses from their last five test matches, Argentina needs to produce the goods this week, and we’re giving them another chance.
They weren’t bad last week when losing 27-21 to Australia, but they need to do the little things better, and all it will take is some momentum from a good start. If they start well on Sunday, they should get the better of the Wallabies.
Australia has looked solid recently, but it’s far from the finished product. They were tested against Japan, which isn’t a good form guide, and although they won last week, it wasn’t good rugby.
We’re happy to take Argentina with the +2.5 start. They are the more desperate team, and it could result in a win.
They combined for only 48 points last week, and we expect it to be another tight defensive battle.
Argentina’s best chance to win is by limiting Australia to under 30 points, and they can do that by controlling the tempo of the game. We know they love to spread the ball and offload recklessly, but that’s not always a way to beat Australia, which thrives on the counterattack.
We expect Argentina to measure up defensively and force Australia into handling errors. If that happens, the game should go under 55.5 points. It’s a generous line considering the 1st test, and it’s worth including in rugby tips this week.
Our Argentina vs Wallabies prediction has Argentina winning narrowly, and the $3.40 odds are worth the risk.
We can’t see either team winning by a big margin, as we saw last week, and because Argentina is a $2.20 favourite to win, the $3.40 odds for a 1-12 win are much better than what we expected.
The game could be decided in the final 20 minutes, and we have Argentina landing a couple of late penalties to seal the game in a close one.
Our Argentina vs Wallabies prediction features a same game multi, which pays $4.37.
Defence should be the flavour of this game, and we have Australia scoring under 13.5 points in the opening half. It could be a kicking affair to open the game, which should also see under 3.5 tries come through for punters.
