To end the International Break on a high note, we have a solid 3-point bet on a Bet Builder, and the statistics support all four of these bets.

In their recent match, Argentina dominated Paraguay but could only secure a 1-0 victory. However, it was a remarkable win for goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez. With Argentina keeping their seventh clean sheet in a row, Martinez has now broken the national team record, not conceding a goal for a total of 622 minutes. The previous record was held by Germán Burgos, who had gone 606 minutes without letting in a goal for La Albiceleste.

I anticipate Martinez extending this impressive streak tonight away in Peru. The hosts have gone three games without scoring against Chile, Brazil, and Paraguay and have only managed to score 3 goals in their last eight games, with those goals coming in friendlies. Therefore, Argentina to win to nil appears to be a strong bet.

Argentina has earned 4 or more corners in the last eight consecutive games, and the Peruvians have received at least 2 cards in the last three games and in 4 out of the last 5 against Argentina, as well as in all of the last five against a similar opponent, Brazil.

The referee tonight is Jesus Valenzuela of Venezuela and he is not afraid of handing out cards. He is averaging 5.20 cards in his last 10 matches.

Good luck!
