Two footballing blue bloods square off on Saturday at 10 a.m. ET when France and Argentina battle to see who advances to the quarterfinals of the 2018 World Cup. France currently sits at 8-1 to win the entire World Cup, while Argentina's odds to win it all are 12-1. France enters Saturday's showdown at +140 on the money line, meaning you'd need to bet $100 on a French victory to win $140. Argentina is +240 (wager $100 to win $240), while a draw in regulation is +200. The over-under on total goals scored in this 2018 World Cup match is 2.

Before you lock in your 2018 World Cup picks, you need to see what European football expert David Sumpter has to say. Sumpter is an applied mathematician who wrote "Soccermatics," a book that explains how math works inside the sport. Along with other experienced analysts, Sumpter developed the powerful Soccerbot model.

The Soccerbot reads current odds and all team performance data, calculates key metrics and predicts upcoming matches. In nearly three seasons since its inception, the Soccerbot is up an incredible 1,800 percent on bookmakers' closing odds.

The Soccerbot has already nailed draws for Argentina-Iceland (+385) and Brazil-Switzerland (+360). It also correctly predicted Iran upsetting Morocco at +275, just to name a few of its big calls. Anyone who has followed it is way up.

Now, the Soccerbot has digested the film, crunched the numbers and broken down every single player on France and Argentina. The model has released a very strong money-line pick, which it's sharing only over at SportsLine.

The model knows France will be facing Argentina for the first time ever in the knockout stage of a World Cup. This is the first fixture at the 2018 World Cup that pairs two previous World Cup champions against each other.

France enters this match still looking to find its best form. Les Blues topped Group C, but failed to impress while doing so. However, France's defense has stifled its opponents thus far in Russia 2018. France has only conceded five shots on target in its three group games, with the only goal allowed being a penalty in France's 2-1 victory over Australia.

The model also knows Argentina had to scratch and claw its way into the Round of 16. The Argentine squad needed a dramatic late-goal victory over Nigeria to advance to the 2018 World Cup knockout stage.

Argentina has now made it past the group stage in 12 of its last 13 World Cup appearances. And it has reached the quarterfinals in four of its last five World Cups. And in 2014, when Argentina made it to the World Cup final against Germany, three of La Albiceleste's four knockout stage games went into extra time.

This World Cup notwithstanding, France has lost just once in its last 15 matches. Argentina, meanwhile, is in a long slump, having won just four of 14.

However, the Albiceleste have Messi, the top scorer in team history and one of the most successful players in the history of the game. And they won't have to face Germany, which has knocked them out of the last three World Cups.

So which hungry nation wins Saturday? Visit SportsLine now to see the strong France-Argentina money-line pick, all from a European football expert whose powerful model is up 1,800 percent in less than three years.
