Match prediction 19 of 48 of our Rugby World Cup 2023 betting series.
Steven's prediction accuracy 2023: ✔️ 84.00%.
Pool D will kick off again with Argentina v Samoa on Friday, the 22nd of September. The first whistle will be at 4.45 p.m. IST at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard in Saint-Étienne, with fans expecting quite the tussle between the two sides.
Refereeing will be Nic Berry, who will be assisted by Nika Amashukeli and Jordan Way. TMO-ing the match will be Brett Cronan.
Argentina and Samoa have met four times in international tests, with Los Pumas only managing one victory and three defeats. It has, however, been a long time since either team have come face-to-face on the rugby pitch, and the Argentinians have made massive improvements in that time. Will Argentina have enough to defy the history books and create momentum in this Rugby World Cup or will Samoa continue the trend of dishing out pain to the South Americans? Let's jump into my Argentina v Samoa prediction.

🔍 Argentina v Samoa Winner Prediction
There doesn't seem to be a lot going for Argentina for this prediction, apart from being one place to the good in the world rankings - 10th versus 11th respectively.
If we look at both teams' Rugby World Cup campaigns so far, Los Pumas lost against England, 27-10, despite their opposition having a man down because of a red card for most of the match, whilst the Samoans cruised to victory against Chile, 43-10. If we expand the analysis of recent form to the last six games for either nation, Argentina have won only twice and lost four times, whereas Samoa have managed the opposite, claiming four wins and losing twice. You could make the argument that Argentina have come up against five tier-one sides and one tier-two side instead of the five tier-two teams and one tier-one team that Samoa have faced, but it's still not much of a let-off for Argentina's recent performances.
The thing that I think will separate the two sides will be the flare of the backs. Both Argentina and Samoa have big units, so there will be a titanic struggle between the two packs at set pieces and the break-down, but I think the South Americans will outplay their counterparts when it comes to shifting the ball out wide and exposing holes in the Samoan defensive line. This may not lead to tries every time, but clever tactics by the Argentinians should still mean they end up coming away from the opposition half with points on the board. Due to this versatility of play, I think Argentina will come away with the big W by 12 points.
My Argentina v Samoa winner prediction: Argentina to win!
✔️ Argentina v Samoa Betting Tips
1️⃣ Match Winner: Argentina to Win
Argentina to win at 1.16 at LeoVegas Sports are not the worst odds I've ever seen, but they are still too short for my interest. I think I would be more intrigued to have a look at the handicap odds.
2️⃣ Handicap Winner: Samoa to Win (+12.5)
I think Argentina will wrap up this match by 12 points, so I see a lot of potential value in having a punt on Samoa to win (+12.5) at 2.11 at TonyBet Sports. That being said, if Argentina managed to claw their way even to one point more than I am predicting, this bet would be a loser, so be careful about what you are willing to bet and gamble responsibly. There are no guarantees in rugby!
