Every game Lionel Messi competes in at the World Cup of Football 2022 could end up being his last after Argentina’s shocking defeat to Saudi Arabia.
For every one of these teams from Group C, which still has room for any club to go to the knockout phase, this match is important. They can only progress to the next round if they win.
Even though Argentina was a pre-tournament favorite, Group C has not yet been determined. Even Saudi Arabia and Mexico (which currently have only one point) can progress to the next stage, not just Poland and Argentina (which currently have two points).
While a victory will guarantee Poland or Argentina a place in the next round, the Central European nation will be satisfied with a draw.
Poland vs. Argentina Preview
Poland Team
Robert Lewandowski scored his first Cup Final goal in the match versus Saudi Arabia. He expressed excitement about taking on Messi in a tournament match, but he must also be conscious that this is his best chance to advance to the round of 16 since 1986.
With Brazil and Morocco the only two nations without a goal allowed after two group games, the Eagles showed their defensive ability. Argentina might become frustrated by that in this game.
Argentina Team
Argentina and Saudi Arabia are currently equal on three points, one point ahead of Poland in their final group game. The Albiceleste struggled during the first half against Mexico’s heavily defended line but were able to score twice in the second.
As they have gained in each of their last 11 encounters with the Polish squad, the 2 world winners shouldn’t have much trouble finding the back of the net against their European foe.

Players to Watch
Lionel Messi is considered the most crucial player in every game he plays. According to media sources, though, Argentina will start right-back Nahuel Molina and center-defender Cristian Romero, each 24 years old, in favor of Lisandro Martnez and Gonzalo Montiel. Those two will be crucial in thwarting the Polish attack in such an event. Poland’s major hope will be Piotr Zielinski, who is essential to the country’s victory over Saudi Arabia.
Poland vs. Argentina Head-to-Head
There have been 11 matches between Argentina and Poland. Argentina won six of the games, while there were two draws.
Poland vs. Argentina Prediction
Messi and the guys will threaten Poland’s unblemished record in the competition, and they will triumph 3-1.
