Argentina will look to continue their 36-match unbeaten run by registering a win against Saudi Arabia in the first match of Group C. This match will be held between the two at 3:30 pm in the Lusail Iconic Stadium with a capacity of 80 thousand. Argentina is considered to be a strong contender for the trophy this time. Captain Leon Messi is playing the fifth and last World Cup. In such a situation, Argentina, who was the champion of Copa de America, would like to make a winning start to win the third World Cup trophy.
The last time Argentina won the World Cup was in 1986, while losing the final to Germany in 2014. Argentina's journey in the last World Cup ended after a 4-3 defeat against defending champions France in the last 16. There have been four matches between the two teams so far, in which Argentina has won two. The last match between these two teams took place 10 years back which ended in a draw. The experience of Lionel Messi, Immy Martínez and Rodrigo de Pal adds to the strength of coach Leon Scaloni's team. Defense has been a concern for Argentina, so Saudi Arabia may find success in their constant attempts to counter-attack.
Saudi Arabia would like to start the World Cup with a win without repeating the mistakes of the last World Cup. However, this time the Argentine team will present a tough challenge to them. Saudi Arabia is joining it for the second consecutive time this time. After losing the first match against hosts Russia in 2018, Saudi Arabia had to face defeat in the second match against Uruguay. However, Saudi Arabia could not advance beyond the group stage even after defeating Egypt in the third match. This time, apart from Argentina and Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland are in Group C. In such a situation, they will have to face tough challenges to move ahead in the group stage.
