Match analysis
A Benin defence rated 5.9 meets an Argentina attack rated 6.4 on 6 October, and Superior's correct score for Argentina vs Benin is a 2-0 home win, with 5-0 as the alternative. Argentina have won all of their last five, including a 4-0 against Bolivia on 1 October.
Argentina have won five straight and scored 14
Before the Bolivia win, Argentina beat England 2-1, Egypt 3-2, Jordan 3-1 and Austria 2-0 in June and July. Superior's model sets each side's expected goals by weighing one team's attack against the other's defence, and here the gap runs one way: Benin's attack, rated 6.0, meets an Argentina defence rated 6.1, so the grid concentrates on Argentina scoring and Benin not.
Benin found the net even in a 5-1 defeat in Togo
That June loss in Togo is part of a run of five games with a Benin goal in each: they beat Mauritania 2-1 on 29 September, drew 1-1 in Burkina Faso and with Niger, and won 1-0 in Guinea. One Benin goal turns the 2-0 into 2-1, and Argentina conceded in three of their five wins, against England, Egypt and Jordan.
