UAE vs Argentina – Argentina & Over 2.5 Goals 

Lionel Messi’s Argentina face the UAE in their final warm-up match before the World Cup starts. La Albiceleste come into the tournament as one of the favourites and are in fine form, remaining unbeaten in 35 matches. First, they face the UAE and will be looking for a confident display to take into their group. 

The UAE won’t be at the World Cup and should be a relatively straightforward warm-up for the Argentinians. They have lost three matches in a row, with their last outing coming as a 4-0 demolition from Venezuela. We expect an inform Argentina to produce a similar performance, so Argentina to win significantly is the play here.

Oman vs Germany – Germany & Over 3.5 Goals 

Another World Cup favourite, the 2014 World champions are also playing their final game before the tournament ad will also be looking for a good display to build upon. The Germans don’t feel as formidable as they once have but they remain a competitive side nonetheless.

 

They had a shaky Nations League campaign with four draws out of six and they seemed very open at the back so Hansi Flick will be hoping to use this fixtures to sure up their defence. 

They play an Oman side who ranked 75 in the world and are another team not going to this years tournament. They should be a fairly easy warm-up game for the Germans so we expect an easy win for Hansi Flick's side in this one.

Albania vs Italy – Italy & Over 2.5 Goals 

The last leg of our treble features two side who didn’t qualify for this year’s World Cup, including reigning European Champions Italy. The Azzurri will be watching this summer with envy and will be looking forward to the next tournaments to put things right. They are one of Europe’s best teams and they will be looking to show that in this fixture right before the world’s biggest spectacle. 

However, the Albanians are no pushovers, with several players competing in Europe’s elite leagues. We expect a more competitive game in this one than the last two, but imagine Italy will look to flex their muscles and show everyone they are still one of the elite. An Italy win for this one with a fair few goals included.
