Match prediction 45 of 48 of our Rugby World Cup 2023 betting series.

The quarter-finals of the 2023 Rugby World Cup were some of the most entertaining rugby matches that I have seen in a long time, and credit must be given to all teams that were involved. There are now just four teams left with a shot of winning the Webb Ellis trophy, while the rest will just have to ponder what could have been. The first of the semi-finals will see New Zealand take on Argentina, and this is a match you will not want to miss.
The man with the honour of refereeing this match is Angus Gardner (Australia), while England's Karl Dickson and Australia's Nic Berry will be the assistant referees. The TMO is Wales’s Ben Whitehouse.
These two teams have met a total of 36 times, and history is something that the Pumas will want to ignore. The All Blacks have won 33 times to Argentina's 2, while there has been one draw. Will Argentina be able to overcome history, or will New Zealand get the routine win that many are expecting? Well, you can find out my thoughts on this match by reading on.
💯 Argentina v New Zealand Betting Odds Rugby World Cup
Rugby betting fans in Great Britain have many different markets that they can put their money on, but the three that stand out to me are match winner, handicap, and Asian handicap. Below I have provided you with the betting odds that some of the best British bookmakers are offering for this Argentina v New Zealand match.
If you want to find out more information about any of the bookmakers mentioned in this prediction, then you can do so by taking a look at our bookmaker reviews.
🥇 Argentina v New Zealand Match Winner Odds
Those of you who watched the Group Stage of the 2023 Rugby World Cup will have had your fair share of matches where one team completely dominates another, and the match winner odds that are on offer at top Irish sports betting sites indicate that the bookies believe that this will be another one-sided match. Below are the current odds being offered for the match winner of Arg vs NZ.
Team | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Argentina | 7.20 | 7.20 | 7.50 | 5.80 | 9.00 |
Tie | 18.30 | 18.30 | 17.00 | TBA | 19.00 |
New Zealand | 1.06 | 1.06 | 1.08 | 1.05 | 1.09 |
➕ Argentina v New Zealand Handicap 3-Way Odds
Maybe you think that New Zealand will win this match comfortably, but are not at all interested by the odds that are on offer. If this happens to be the case, then you can always consider giving the All Blacks a handicap. This is where you give them a points disadvantage before the game in order to improve their odds. Below are the latest handicap 3-way odds for this Argentina vs New Zealand match:

New Zealand (0-16) | 1.76 | 1.76 | - | - | - |

🏮 Argentina v New Zealand Asian Handicap Odds
If you decide to give the All Blacks a -17-point handicap and they go on and win the match by 17 points to book themselves a spot in the final, then your bet will end up being a losing one since your bookie will consider the final outcome to be a draw. If you want to eliminate the draw option from the equation, then Asian handicap betting can come in handy. In the table below, I have given you the Asian handicap odds for this first semi-final of the 2023 RWC.

New Zealand (-16.5) | 1.76 | 1.76 | - | - | - |

🔍 Argentina v New Zealand Prediction
As I mentioned in the introduction to this prediction, history really does not favour Los Pumas, with the Argentinians having won just two matches against the All Blacks in their rugby history. While the Argentinians will be pumped by their win against the Welsh in the Quarter-Finals, especially since everyone was backing Wales, I just do not see them having what it takes to overcome New Zealand.
The Quarter-Final Ireland v New Zealand was one of the best test matches that I have seen in many years, and Argentina will be hoping that the epic tussle drained a lot out of the Kiwi players. However, even if the New Zealand players are a bit tired, I still think that they will have enough in the tank to overcome a spirited Argentina side.
The bookmakers are expecting a landslide win for the All Blacks, but I see it being closer than the odds would suggest. With this in mind, my prediction for this match is New Zealand to win by 15-18 points.
✔️ Argentina v New Zealand RWC Betting Tips
I will use the section of my betting guide to provide you with some useful Rugby World Cup betting tips for this Argentina v New Zealand match. Whenever you are betting on any sport, always make a conscious effort to gamble responsibly - set up a budget and stick to it no matter what.
1️⃣ Match Winner: New Zealand to Win
I think that New Zealand will book themselves a spot in the final, but I do not recommend betting on such an outcome due to the fact that the odds are very short - you would have to put down a lot of money in order to make any decent potential returns, and it is not worth the risk in my opinion.
However, for those of you who still want to bet on the match winner, Spreadex Sports are currently offering odds of 1.09.
2️⃣ Handicap Winner: New Zealand to Win (-16)
As I believe that New Zealand will win this match by 15-18 points, I am tempted by the -16-points handicap that some betting sites are offering. If you went for this option, you would need New Zealand to come out on top by 17 points or more - 16 points would be considered a draw. So, if you want to boost the odds and feel that the All Blacks will win this match by 17 points or more, then Betiton are offering odds of 1.76.
3️⃣ Winning Margin
I also suggest to my readers to check out the winning margin market as there is usually a lot of value to be found and the odds are often pretty long. As I feel that New Zealand will win this match by 15-18 points, I like the odds of 5.50 which are being offered by Spreadex Sports for the All Blacks to win by 16-20 points.
