Poland vs Saudi Arabia
Argentina vs Mexico
On Saturday, Argentina will play rival Mexico in Group C in an effort to recover from their terrible opening match. They already risk their chances at the World Cup.
While the Albiceleste started their quest for a third-world title by falling to rank outsider Saudi Arabia, their Central American counterparts managed to draw with Poland on Tuesday.
The previous time Argentina suffered a first-round defeat at a World Cup was in 1990, when Maradona eventually led his team to the title match.
To earn a critical opening victory in the 2022 edition, this Messi-led Albiceleste team must overcome the expectations of a football-obsessed nation and a Mexico team in transition.
The Mexican team, which is taking part in its eighth consecutive World Cup, has lost in the round of 16 on each of its previous seven occasions. Martino, a former Argentine coach, is expected to buck the trend and get to the quarterfinals.
Group D
France vs Denmark
Tunisia vs Australia
Australia will be looking to exact revenge for their humiliating loss to France when they take on Tunisia in their subsequent World Cup Group D match on Saturday.
On Tuesday, Tunisia and Denmark drew 0-0 in their opening match of the 2022 competition, while the Socceroos lost their campaign opener 4-1 to France.
Given that France is their final and toughest group opponent, the result of Tunisia’s match against Australia could have a big impact on whether or not they advance to the knockout phase.
As was previously said, Australia will enter this encounter in a vulnerable position in Group D after losing 4-1 to world champions France on Tuesday.
The majority of Tunisia’s starting lineup from its opening round encounter against Denmark should take the field since no injuries have been reported by the nation.
Arnold, the head coach of Australia, is expected to repress the impulse to shuffle his roster after the team’s defeat to France because there were positives from the match with the Blues.
