It will have to be much better against Argentina\u2019s defense to generate chances. Lionel Messi had his magical hat trick vs. Algeria, but Argentina really didn&#8217;t do much on offense either. For the xG crowd, Argentina had just 1.3 xG for the match, which tells how insanely good Messi\u2019s goals were.\u00a0This match should be a grind.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14><strong>France vs. Iraq<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14>France was very quiet for the first 45 minutes vs. Senegal; then a tactical tweak moving Michael Olise to the middle made all the difference. Iraq couldn\u2019t defend against Norway, allowing 11 shots from inside the penalty area, and I would expect a similar, if not worse, struggle here.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:var(--color-text-primary);font-family:inherit;font-size:23px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:0.028em;line-height:1.11;margin:0;width:auto\">Michael Olise 2+ Goals\/Assists (+255)<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14><strong>Norway vs. Senegal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>Does a second brace await Erling Haaland against Senegal (Getty Images)?<\/span> <!--&gt;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14>Norway looked great in attack vs. an overmatched Iraq side, but Senegal will offer a stiffer test, even as one of the older teams in the competition. Reports of disputes between the players, staff and the confederation, along with accommodation issues have me a little concerned, but that could also result in motivating the Lions of Teranga to show everyone that they still have immense pride in playing for themselves and their fans.\u00a0I\u2019m not going to go too crazy here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14><strong>Jordan vs. Algeria<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14>Both lost their openers by multiple goals, so each needs all three points here to boost their chances of being one of the third-place teams to advance. The duo combined for 0.8 xG in their openers, so I\u2019m not sure if we\u2019re gonna see much in the way of excitement here, even with both teams needing a win. I really don't know what to do here, but I believe Algeria is better.<\/p>\n\n--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>POPULAR SEARCHES BROWSE BY &#8220;Bear Bets&#8221; are real wagers that Chris &#8220;The Bear&#8221; Fallica is actually making.
