The bookies are apparently convinced that the reigning world champions will win their final friendly match. Whether the South Americans themselves will score more or less than two goals depends heavily on their form on Wednesday but keeping a clean sheet seems much more likely. The defensively strong Argentina have only conceded three goals in the last 365 days, and Iceland is certainly not known for it's attacking power. After their 2-0 victory over Honduras a few days ago in the Jordan-Hare Stadium, Argentina will try to save stregth. After scoring a goal the South Americans will probably concentrate more on managing their lead than on extending it. On the other hand, in their last 10 matches, the Scandinavians conceded an average of 2.5 goals per game.
