Argentina take on Bosnia in their opening match at the 2014 World Cup looking to get off to a winning start at what they hope will be a successful tournament. There would be nothing better than winning the coveted title on Brazilian soil, so no doubt Alejandro Sabella’s men will be eager to impress.
One player in particular will be out to prove the doubters wrong and finally leave his stamp on a major competition and we are obviously talking about Lionel Messi. Some are even suggesting that his poor form at Barcelona had to do with the fact he was trying to remain in a good shape for the 2014 World Cup and there may be truth in the speculations.
The Barcelona superstar is expected to start alongside Sergio Aguero up front against Bosnia and no doubt many will be backing him to open the scoring at the famous Maracana stadium. And if you are thinking about doing the same, bear in mind Ladbrokes have increased the price on Messi to score the first goal from 11/4 to 5/1.
It is also important to note that this special price is only available from kick off (17:00 BST) until the first goal is scored in the Switzerland v Ecuador match.
