Match prediction 5 of 48 of our Rugby World Cup 2023 betting series.
Steven's prediction accuracy 2023: ✔️ 82.35%.
The first game off the blocks in Pool D of the Rugby World Cup is England v Argentina, kicking off at 8 p.m. IST on Saturday, the 9th of September. The match will be played at the Stade de Marseille, and even at this early stage, I think it's going to be one of the better games of the tournament.
The officials for the day will be Mathieu Raynel in the middle, Ben O'Keeffe and Pierre Brousset on the touchlines, and Marius Jonker as the TMO.
To date, England and Argentina have played 25 matches against each other. Of those, England have won 19, Argentina have won five, and there has been one draw. Their last encounter was in the 2022 Autumn Internationals at Twickenham when Los Pumas were able to clinch a close 29-30 victory in a nail-biter of a match, throwing the bookies into a daze about who may win this all-important rematch. Will Argentina rise to the challenge again or will England recover from bitter defeat? Let's get into my England v Argentina prediction.

🔍 England v Argentina Winner Prediction
In years of yore, this would be one of my easier picks for a Rugby World Cup prediction - for two reasons. Firstly, England were always seen as the stronger team and had a well-oiled machine of an international rugby set-up compared to Los Pumas, so it would have seemed a more-than-achievable goal for the Red Rose - again, in years past. The second reason is that I grew up in the same manner as any staunch rugby fan and have always supported my own nation with all of my heart, so to say that I can not see England, after shoddy performances in the Summer Nations Series, living up to their former quality is disheartening. Sad as it may be to say, Argentina are my favourites to start their Rugby World Cup campaign on a high, and I think they will manage this by six points.
✔️ England v Argentina Betting Tips
1️⃣ Match Winner: Argentina to Win
My pick of Argentina to win at 1.95 at Betway may not be controversial with the bookies, but with odds that would see you make a return of almost double your money, you would be forgiven for being intrigued about having a flutter on this match. Again, though, this is a match that could be seen to go either way, depending on whom you ask, so be careful with what you are willing to stake.
2️⃣ Handicap Winner: Argentina to Win (-3.5)
I think Argentina are going to steal this one by six points. With that in mind, if you agree, your best option might be Argentina to win (-3.5) at 2.40 at Betway. As I've already stated, however, this game will likely go down to the wire, so whichever way you bet, you will still have the risk of your bet not turning out. Beware!
