Argentina vs Saudi Arabia same-game parlay odds: +1300

Lionel Messi to Provide an Assist

Messi has been at his creative best this season, chipping in with 11 assists in 18 appearances for PSG, and he made five assists as Argentina lifted the Copa America last year.

Argentina is expected to dominate this game from the start, and Messi looks like a solid bet to create a goal at some point in what could be a high-scoring start for La Albiceleste.

Lautaro Martinez to Score

Martinez has been in excellent scoring form for club and country in recent months, and he looks a great bet to get on the scoresheet against a Saudi Arabian side that lost their opening game at the last World Cup 5-0.

The Inter Milan star has scored 21 goals in 40 appearances for his country and has seven in 14 starts for the Nerazzurri this season.

Salman Al-Faraj to Be Shown a Card

Al-Faraj is likely to be in direct opposition to Lionel Messi on Tuesday, and he’s sure to be in for a busy shift against an Argentine side that’s expected to dominate possession.

He committed two fouls against Croatia in his last appearance and looks like a big price to end up in foul trouble in this clash – take him to end up in the book at some point over the 90 minutes.
