England vs Argentina
England welcomes Argentina to Twickenham for this Autumn International. Both teams will have one eye on next year’s World Cup so we can expect a fair amount of experimentation when the teams are announced. The home team last played in July and had a highly successful tour of Australia where they beat the Wallabies 2-1 in the test series. The victory was a good way to erase memories of their woeful Six Nations campaign that saw them win just two of their matches. England will welcome the news that Owen Farrell has been declared fir for this match after concussion ruled him out of his last match for Saracens.
TIP: The home side have held a stranglehold over the Pumas in recent years winning the last ten matches against them. The one and only time England lost at Twickenham to the visitors was back in 2006 and they will be hoping that record stays intact. Argentina have been in managerial turmoil coming into this match as coach Michael Cheika has been helping the Lebanon national team prepare for their match in the Rugby League World Cup. It remains to be seen if having just 48 hours with this Argentinian side will be enough for them to upset the heavily favoured home team. The bookies have England as the favourites and I’m also tipping them for the win. The best odds on this bet are as follows: Worldsportsbetting 1.14, Playabets 1.16 and Sunbet 1.16

PREDICTION
England will be weary of starting the match well as they have lost their last two matches at home due to poor starts. The area that will need most improvement is their defence otherwise the dangerous Argentina side will exploit any weaknesses. The home side will again try to dominate the Pumas with their physicality but they won’t be an easy task with players like Pablo Matera in the visitor’s team. England will be looking to Marcus Smith to ignite the backline and if he is successful then Argentina are in for a tough match. We are backing England to lead at halftime and to win the match by more than 15 points.

Sports crazy fan that follows all major sport but the game with the oval ball is my real passion. Was an age level rugby coach and a huge supporter of the Springboks and diehard Liverpool man. I’m an experienced punter and sports writer whose predictions/tips are sure to stir up the emotions. I love the occasional wager on the underdog.
