When they meet on Saturday, Argentina U20 and Uzebkistan U20 will begin their bid to win the Under-20 FIFA World Cup in 2023.In their final friendly match last week, the South Americans cruised to a 4-0 victory over the Dominican Republic to conclude their tournament preparations.
Juan Gauto came off the bench to complete the rout with two goals in the final minute, while Valentin Carboni and Ignacio Maestro scored goals in the first half to put their team in control.
In the meantime, Uruguay defeated Uzbekistan 2-0. In the 68th minute, Fabrizio Diaz scored from the spot, and Anderson Duarte added a second in extra time.
Argentina has secured their place in the tournament as hosts, and they will be aiming for a record-extending seventh title at this level. Uzbekistan earned their spot by finishing third in the 2023 AFC Asian Under-20 Cup.
Match details :
- Argentina U20 – Uzbekistan U20
- U20 World Cup World
- Date – 20/05/2023
- Starting time – 21:00 UT
Prediction :
Despite not having won a tournament since 2007, when Sergio Aguero led them to victory in Canada, Argentina are the most successful team at this level. However, following the senior team’s victory in Qatar last year, Los Cebollitas are highly anticipated, and home support may also be crucial as they attempt to win their seventh world title at this point.
Uzbekistan, on the other hand, is considered an outsider, but their impressive performance in the Asian U20 Cup shows that they cannot be overlooked.
Head to head :
- The two sides will meet for the third time. In the two previous encounters, Argentina won.
- The South Americans defeated the Americans 2-1 in a friendly match in September 2022.
- Argentina won two and lost one of their last three games, while Uzbekistan lost two of their three preparatory friendlies for this tour.
- One team has failed to score in each of Argentina’s last three matches.
Team News:
t’s critical to keep in mind that Argentina U20 is the most decorated team in the world when making a prediction. Six World Cup titles have been won by it. However, Sergio Agüero’s team won the previous gold medal in 2007, a long time ago.
When making a prediction for Uzbekistan U20, we notice that the visitors lack the same significant accomplishments. Their most recent appearances at the World Championships were in the 2013 and 2015 quarterfinals. Incidentally, the Uzbeks came to the Mundial interestingly from that point forward.
Batting tips:
• Argentina wins fifty percent of its matches when it leads 1-0 at home.
• Uzbekistan wins all of its games when it leads 0-1 away.
• Argentina wins zero percent of their matches when they are down 0-1 at home.
• When Uzbekistan is down 1-0 on the road, they never win
