SlipsTips’ Bet Builder Tips: Another low-key Argentina success on the agenda

SlipsTips shares a Bet Builder ahead of Argentina and Colombia’s clash in World Cup qualifying on Tuesday night.

Argentina vs Colombia (Wednesday, 01:00)

Argentina will resume their World Cup qualifying campaign when they play host to Colombia on Tuesday night.

Lionel Scaloni’s side have already stamped their ticket to next year’s showpiece, where they will look to successfully defend their crown. 

Colombia, on the other hand, have still got work to do in their bid to qualify for a first World Cup since 2018.

Argentina Win

While Argentina have already qualified and sewn up top spot in the South American standings, they are unlikely to down tools in front of their own supporters. That was evident during the White and Sky Blue’s most recent qualifying match, when they brilliantly dismantled arch-rivals Brazil 4-1. 

Scaloni’s side have been a model of consistency throughout the campaign, claiming top honours from 11 of their 15 matches to date. What’s more, the world champions have done the majority of their best work at home, banking maximum points from six of their seven assignments thus far.

In stark contrast, Colombia have been going through a sticky patch of late, collecting just two points from their last five World Cup qualifiers, coming away empty-handed from three of those contests. That trio of defeats includes losses to Uruguay, Brazil and Ecuador, suggesting that they will suffer the same fate in Buenos Aires on matchday 16.

Under 4.5 Goals

For the second leg of what is a Bet Builder double, I’m also keen to include Under 4.5 Goals. Argentina’s impressive showings throughout qualifying have been built on a solid foundation, conceding just eight goals across their 15 assignments so far. That knack for keeping their opponents quiet can be attributed to Argentina keeping five clean sheets across their seven home games during this campaign. Moreover, four of Argentina's six home wins have arrived alongside Under 4.5 Goals. Similarly, each of the hosts’ five wins away from home have featured four match goals or fewer. 

While Colombia are in a bit of a rut at the moment, they don’t tend to get blown away by their opponents. Nestor Lorenzo’s side have lost just four times during qualification, with three of those defeats failing to break the Over 4.5 Goal barrier. So with all that in mind, backing star-studded Argentina to claim another low-key success looks well worthy of support at a shade under even-money.
