Argentina has shown impressive form in their last three matches, scoring a total of 8 goals while conceding only 1, averaging 2.67 goals per game. Their attacking prowess has been evident, with a strong performance in the group stage of the World Cup. In contrast, Cape Verde Islands have struggled, managing only 2 goals in their last three matches, with an equal number of goals conceded, indicating a lack of offensive and defensive stability.
