Scotland v Argentina Odds

The Scotland v Argentina odds for this Scotland Argentina betting soccer friendly at Hampden Park has the South Americans as odds on favourites to win a match that has already sparked a huge amount of media interest. Sadly the interest is not due to the football, or even the footballers, it is all to do with new Argentine boss, Diego Maradona, who will take charge of his country for the first time on Wednesday night.

Many have labelled his appointment as crazy, as th legend has only jjust got his own life in order and he has had no management or indeed coaching experience worth talking about. However he is what he is, a living football legend who's charisma might be enough to carry his new management burden.

At least Maradona will not be up against Scotland's strongest team, they have been hit by three more injuries for the match. Man United midfielder Darren Fletcher was ruled out with a knee injury and it is believed that he has been joined by strikers Kenny Miller, and Steven Fletcher goalkeeper Craig Gordon. There are also worries over WBA midfielder James Morrison and Cardiff striker Ross McCormack.

It must be a real headache for manager, George Burley, who would clearly like to win this match and enhance his claims that he is the right man to lead the Scots. The betting has Argentina as 4/6 odds on favourites to win , while Scotland are only given a 5/1 chance. A draw can be backed at 5/1.
