Argentina possess considerable firepower, scoring 23 goals in six home matches and averaging 3.8 goals per match. Four of Argentina's last five fixtures have produced at least three total goals, with scorelines including 3-2 against Cape Verde Islands, 3-2 against Egypt, 3-1 against Switzerland, and 2-1 against England. Benin have displayed defensive vulnerabilities away from home, conceding five times against Togo while still finding the net in each of their last three fixtures. The combination of Argentina's regular multi-goal scoring rate and Benin's away defensive record provides strong evidence that the match total will reach three or more goals.
