World Cup: Group C preview and best bets

The 2022 World Cup is coming up. VSiN's soccer handicapper Nigel Seeley has picks, predictions and best bets for every group.

Argentina is the third-ranked team in the world on FIFA rankings. Argentina has won 24 games and drawn 11 in friendly matches. Lionel Scaloni's team is a strong favorite to win Group C at -250.

The question everyone asks is if you're Team Messi or Team Ronaldo? I'm in the Messi camp.

Messi is a seven-time Ballon d'Or winner, four-times Champions League winner and 10- time Spanish champion. The only thing missing from his trophy cabinet is World Cup winner's medal. He has 90 goals in 164 games for his country.

Lautaro Martinez has been linked with a move to the EPL. He has scored 21 goals in 40 games for Argentina and is expected to add to that during the World Cup.

Argentina are favourites to win Group C.

Poland qualified for the 2022 World Cup after defeating Sweden 2-0 in the UEFA playoffs. Poland is the 26th-ranked nation. Robert Lewandowski is a top player in Poland but he has never scored a goal in three games in 2018.

Robert Lewandowski is going to the World Cup. He is a legend in Poland and a Champions League winner. This will be his last World cup. Poland needs to qualify from the group stage.

Poland needs to win the group to qualify for the World Cup. Poland is likely to finish third in the tournament.

Mexico is the 13th-ranked team in the world and is looking to qualify for the World Cup. Mexico has a habit of qualifying from its group and then crashing out at the last 16 stage. This is Mexico's 17th World cup.

Hirving Lozano has played for both Serie A and Champions League. He has scored 16 goals for Mexico since his debut in 2016. Loozano is a tricky winger and is the bright spark in this Mexican squad.

Mexico and Poland are in a tight race to qualify for the World Cup. Mexico has an excellent record of qualification in World Cups. Poland has a poor scoring record in the tournament.

Saudi Arabia plays three warm-up games before the World Cup against Iceland, Croatia and Panama. The Saudis are one of the lowest-ranked nations in the tournament at 51. They have qualified for six World Cups, but they are not used to humid conditions.

Salem Al-Dawsari made his international debut for Saudi Arabia 10 years ago. He has featured 67 times for his country, scoring 17 goals. Last season in the Saudi League, he had nine goals and five assists in 21 games.

Saudi Arabia is the weakest nation in Group C. The Green Falcons will finish at the bottom of the group with three defeats.
