Our prediction for this World Cup 2026 match:
There will be fireworks when Poland and Argentina face each other at Stadium 974 in the Group C derby. The Poles aim to build on a 2-0 win over Saudi Arabia, with the team eyeing their third consecutive clean sheet at the 2022 World Cup finals. The nominal hosts are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence in the decider as they are one point away from booking their place in the knockout stages.
A man to watch in the home team will be Robert Lewandowski, who managed to break the deadlock at the World Cup in the triumph over Saudi Arabia, while all Frankowski, Cash, Milik, and Kiwior are one yellow card away from suspension. Meanwhile, La Celeste, quickly bounced back from the shocking loss to Saudi Arabia, with the team beating Mexico 2-0 in their second group game. As always, a man to watch in the away side will be Leo Messi, who has already netted two goals at the showpiece tournament, while Enzo Fernandez is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute against El Tri. Anyhow, the share of spoils is on the horizon as the two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment.
Highlighted Player (Robert Lewandowski):
After scoring 36 goals in 59 league games for Znicz Pruskow, Robert Lewandowski joined Lech Poznan in June, 2008. The 184-cm-tall attacker scored 18 goals in 28 appearances for the club in the 2009/2010 Ekstraklasa campaign and during the season he was on Borussia Dortmund’s radar.
The Polish forward signed a four-year deal with the Bundesliga side in June, 2010 and he quickly established himself as the team’s key attacker. Lewandowski was producing excellent performances with the Millionaires between 2010 and 2014 and it has to be noted that he won two Bundesliga trophies with the club (2010/2011, 2011/2012). He participated in the 2012/2013 Champions League final with Borussia Dortmund, but the Millionaires were beaten by fellow Bundesliga side Bayern Munich in the title game.
However, he betrayed Borussia Dortmund fans in 2014 as he signed a four-year deal with the Bundesliga giants. Lewandowski impressed in the 2016/2017 Bundesliga campaign as he scored 30 goals in 32 league games for Pep Guardiola’s troops. The Polish footballer represented his homeland at Euro 2016 in France and he scored one goal at the showpiece tournament in France.
