Jude Bellingham Over 1.5 Fouls Won

No England player has been fouled more often at this World Cup than Bellingham, and it's not hard to see why. His game is built around carrying the ball through the middle third, shielding it under pressure, and inviting defenders to make contact rather than concede space. That style has produced fouls won figures of 4, 2, 1, 4, 0, 1 and 3 across his tournament matches - meaning he's cleared the 1.5 mark in four of his last seven outings.

Beyond the numbers, Bellingham has been the heartbeat of this England side all summer. He was central to the win over Mexico, dragging his team through a second half played with ten men, and has consistently been the player Gareth Southgate leans on when games get stretched. Against an Argentina side known for snapping into challenges early and often, expect defenders to test the limits with Bellingham again - and expect the referee to keep blowing for it.

Harry Kane Over 1.5 Shots on Target

Kane remains the most consistent source of shot volume in the England squad, and his underlying numbers back that up. Across his six World Cup appearances he's posted shots on target totals of 2, 1, 3, 2, 1 and 3 - clearing 1.5 in four of those six games. Zoom out to his last ten appearances for the national team and the trend holds: seven from ten have seen him register multiple shots on target.

As England's central striker, Kane takes on the bulk of the team's clear-cut chances and remains first in line for penalties and set-piece opportunities. Against an Argentina defense that will need to commit numbers forward at times to chase the game, England should get their looks — and Kane is the man most likely to convert possession into shots on target.

Ezri Konsa Over 1.5 Fouls Won

Konsa has emerged as a quiet but important weapon for England when it comes to drawing fouls. His fouls won numbers across his last eight England appearances read 0, 3, 1, 3, 2, 2, 2 and 1, and he's gone over 1.5 in four of his six matches at this World Cup. Only one England player - Bellingham - has won more fouls than Konsa across the tournament, underlining just how often he's fouled when driving forward with the ball.

Against a physical, high-pressing Argentina side that rarely gives opponents a free run, Konsa's willingness to carry possession into contact should again make him a target for mistimed challenges.
