I definitely think that Argentina will clinch this victory. Argentina has a squad that is valued at 794,50 mill. € with a mean age of 27.55, in the order hand, Paraguay has a squad valued at 122,20 mill. €, which is almost 7 times less. Additionally, the mean age for Argentina's squad (27,55) is a bit greater than Paraguay's (26.95), which means that with almost the same age in both squads, players are more qualified to perform at high levels. Finally, their respective positions at FIFA rankings ARG 1st and PAR 52nd statiscally seals the victory for the Argentines. Not to mention the likes of Messi or Di Maria among the ARG squad, two world-class players who can resolve almost every situation. This means that in world football, Argentine's current squad and trajectory is better than Paraguay.
