Head to Head

Spain and Argentina have never played before.

Spain Form

Spain failed to qualify for the 2023 Rugby World Cup so will use this fixture to prepare for their next qualification round.

Spain last played in March this year, losing 25-19 away to Romania. They also lost heavily to Georgia and Portugal. Their last win came in a 32-14 success against Germany.

Spain Injuries & Team News

Spain have not announced their side but I expect them to be at full strength.

Argentina Form

Argentina have not played many warm-up games for the Rugby World Cup. They finished third in the Rugby Championship, winning one of their three games.

A heavy loss to New Zealand at home was followed by a superb last-gasp win in Australia. They then narrowly lost away to South Africa.

In their last match, Argentina met the Springboks again, this time at home and lost 24-13.

Argentina Injuries & Team News

England are Argentina’s first opponents at the World Cup so I fully expect Los Pumas to be at full strength this weekend. It is their last chance before the event starts.

Verdict

Spain v Argentina

I am backing Los Pumas to win big by covering the -37 handicap.
