Croatia couldn't have asked for a better start to the World Cup after beating Nigeria in second gear and then seeing Argentina drop two points to Iceland. They face the South American side here looking to seal qualification to the knockout rounds. Ross Casey offers his World Cup betting tips...

Argentina v Croatia

(Tues, 19:00)

Who are the favourites?

The bookies have made Argentina the firm favourites to win this match at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium, making Jorge Sampaoli’s side a best price of 11/10.

Considering they had picked up just four victories from their previous 10 matches across all competitions and are on the back of a disappointing 1-1 draw against Iceland, that may not appeal to many World Cup punters.

Croatia are a best price of 31/10 with bet365 at the time of writing to pick up the upset victory - make sure you use our odds comparison service here as that is better value than the 29/10 some will settle for elsewhere!

What’s your recommended Argentina v Croatia betting tip?

Croatia Double Chance @ 5/6 - BET NOW

I have one recommended Argentina v Croatia tip. I will be going against the market by backing Croatia in the double chance market.

I think Croatia at a best price of 5/6 is a decent enough price here. This selection would have landed in seven of the Blazers’ last nine games while backing against an Argentina win would have paid off in six of their last 10 outings.

Argentina looked vulnerable at set pieces and their play was not fluent at all with their star players failing to truly mesh as an attacking outfit against Iceland. For me, Croatia look a good price not to lose this game - especially as they won against Nigeria at such a saunter.

Why use Easyodds to bet on this match?

I’m not necessarily sure that punters realise the importance of our odds comparison service…

For example, if you fancy Ante Rebic to score in this one, just like he did in the German Cup final where he tore Bayern Munich apart, he is a best price 13/2. There’s a remarkable difference in his price when you consider his worst price is 7/2. Why wouldn’t you use our site to peruse the anytime goalscorer market and ensure you get the best possible odds?
