Argentina vs Cape Verde Prediction World Cup Today

Enzo Fernandez to Have 1+ Shot on Target (-165)

Cape Verde are huge underdogs and will likely sit back in a low block for long stretches in this match.

We've seen Cape Verde in basically this exact same scenario already this tourney in their opener versus Spain. In that one, Spain ended up taking several shots from outside the box due to Cape Verde being so compact and deep defensively. Midfielders Pedri and Rodri took two shots apiece while Fabian Ruiz -- another midfielder -- fired off five shots. Both of Rodri's attempts missed the target, but Pedri and Ruiz each placed one shot on goal.

That puts me on Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez to record at least one shot on target. He's taken just two shots in the tourney as no Argentina players other than Messi have taken more than four shots (Messi has 15). But with Cape Verde likely to be so deep, Enzo should spend a lot of time on the edge of the penalty area -- just like Spain's midfielders did -- and I like these odds on him to put a shot on target.
