Argentina vs Australia Tips

Sunday 8/9/24

5:00am Argentina vs Australia @ Brigadier Estanislao Lopez Stadium

Just when it looked like Argentina had full control over the test match, Australia came storming back to win via a controversial penalty in front of the posts with no time remaining.

It was slotted and it gave Australia its first Rugby Championship win, having been destroyed in two games by South Africa.

It was a much-needed victory for the Wallabies, who have been through years of torment, and it could see them pull off rare consecutive victories.

Despite Argentina beating New Zealand in Wellington earlier in the tournament, it looked poor last week, so a big turnaround is needed from the hosts.

Punters should expect the Pumas to play better, but with the wind in the sails of Australia, it could be tough to beat.

Argentina is the $1.47 favourite, and those odds don’t excite us. It’s a -4.5 favourite to bounce back, but we’re prepared to take the risk and back Australia.

We missed out of the value odds last week, but perhaps all the Wallabies needed was some confidence, and they could kick on with it now.

Take the $2.60 and +4.5 for the visitors, who could leap frog the All Blacks on the table, which would be an incredible feat.

Betting tip: Australia @ $2.60

Argentina vs Australia Exotic Tips

We think it could be a low-scoring defensive game, which would help Australia.

Scoring points hasn’t been easy for the Wallabies, but they turned it into a tough defensive game last week, so why stray away from what works?

The current total points line is 49.5, which we think is far too high. We envision a final score of around 24-19, which gives punters plenty of room to move.

We’re happy to include the under in our rugby exotic bets, and we’re also backing Australia 1-12.

If Australia wins the game, it won’t be by over 12 points. Therefore, instead of taking $2.60 for it to win outright, taking Australia 1-12 at $3.60 offers much more value.

There isn’t too much risk involved in this bet, so punters might as well take the better odds.

There is also good value in backing Australia to win the first half. Argentina could be forced into making first half errors, especially with more pressure being added.

Australia to lead at halftime pays $2.35, which is too good to pass up.

Betting tip: Under 49.5 Points @ $1.90
