Argentina is a strong bet to stretch its team record undefeated streak to 33 matches when the Albiceleste face Estonia's national team in a friendly match to be played on Sunday, June 5 in Spain.
Lionel Me si & Co. left a strong impre sion . That performance left many feeling this Argentina has what it takes to go all the way at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar a tournament that is expected to be Me si's last with his national team.
Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni will use the final match of this June international window against Estonia to give a final chance to players on the fringe to impre
MLB New York Yankees s him before he makes his final squad selections for November's tournament in Qatar. Argentina will against Poland, Mexico and Saudi Arabia.
The World Cup is the farthest thing from Estonia's mind, as one of the lowest-ranked European sides (No. 110 in the FIFA rankings). But their tactical style carries some similarities to Argentina's Group B opponent Poland, albeit on a completely different tier when it comes to quality. Estonia had a poor return of four points in eight matches during World Cup qualifying.
This will be the first matchup between these two nations in their history.

Argentina vs Estonia best bets, pick & prediction
Odds via (Canada only)
What did you expect with the No. 4-ranked team in the world against No. 110? The odds are as lopsided as you're going to see for a match involving Argentina, mainly because they rarely go to the trouble of playing lower-ranked opponents.
If you like a sweat, picking the Estonia +3.5 spread might be the way to go judging by Estonia's recent matches against other world powers (3-1 and 5-2 lo ses vs. Belgium and a 0-0 draw and 1-0 lo s vs. Wales). To play it safer, you only lose half your bet with the +3.75 Asian Handicap if it's exactly a four-goal differential in the final scoreline.
Since the beginning of 2021, Estonia have played 13 matches and only once has the score margin been greater than three goals: That was exactly four goals in a 6-2 home lo s to the Czech Republic.
