Argentina will look to secure their place in the World Cup knockout stages when they take on Austria in what promises to an exciting round 2 clash. The reigning world champions opened their campaign in emphatic fashion, cruising to a 3-0 victory over Algeria thanks to a Lionel Messi hat-trick. That result extended Argentina's winning streak to eight matches in all competitions, underlining the excellent form of Lionel Scaloni's side. Nahuel Molina and Julian Alvarez are both pushing for recalls to the starting XI, while defender Leonardo Balerdi has been ruled out through injury. Argentina's numbers are particularly impressive, with nine wins from their last ten matches, 2.7 goals scored per game, and an outstanding 80% clean-sheet rate.
Austria also enjoyed a successful start to the tournament, defeating Jordan 3-1 in their Group J opener. Marko Arnautovic made a strong impact from the bench and is now pushing for a starting berth, while Marcel Sabitzer must be very careful against Argentina as he sits one yellow card away from suspension. Ralf Rangnick's men have been in excellent form themselves, winning eight of their last ten matches and averaging 2.6 goals per game. However, they now face arguably the toughest test possible against an Argentina side that has conceded just two goals in its last ten outings.
As Argentina are on an eight-match winning run and looked dominant against Algeria. Therefore, Home Win should be considered, alongside Argentina to Win to Nil and Under 3.5 goals (both teams are defensively solid, conceding a combined average of just 0.7 goals per match).
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Monday 22 June 2026 at 18:00.
