Odds bank on blazing Argentina to thrash Saudis in Group C opener

Argentina and Saudi Arabia play each other in the World Cup's opening game on Tuesday. Argentina are on a 36-match unbeaten run and have a good chance of winning the tournament. Saudi have lost their last two World Cups and their opening games to Russia and Germany. The game will be played in Lusail Stadium, which will also host the final. Saudi coach Herve Renard is proud of his team's progress. He is also proud that they reached the last 16 of the 1994 World cup. His team is entirely home-based and has a poor record in tournament openers.
