Sports Desk: Argentina came as a hot favorite in this year’s World Cup in Qatar. The team had immense confidence. Will not or can? The team has not seen defeat for 36 consecutive matches. But in the first match they suffered a huge shock. In the first game of the World Cup, the team lost 2-1 against Saudi Arabia. Today, they will play against Mexico at 1 pm to survive the fight to get to the round of 16.
Lionel Messi’s Argentina will undoubtedly be hot favorites in this clash between two of the best teams in North and South America. Mexico is the biggest obstacle in front of them on their way to the knockout stages and taking a huge step towards the World Cup title.
On paper, Mexico’s strength is much lower than Argentina, so they will go into the match as underdogs and they will want to make the match as difficult as possible for Argentina. At the very least they will want to make sure they don’t lose by a huge margin, as that could adversely affect their goal difference, making it harder for them to progress to the next round.
In this match, Argentina will want to forget everything from the first match and return to their old rhythm in this match. Because if they lose or draw in this match, it will be a bit uncertain for them to reach the second stage. Then you have to look at the other team, which surely Lionel Messi will not want. On the other hand, Mexico did not get much momentum in the World Cup qualifiers of this year’s North American division. Besides, they got Poland in the first match. They fought hard and shared the points with them. Therefore, they will want to take points from the match by holding on to their confidence after the first match of Argentina. In order to win, Albécelesté will be expected to play a dominating role in this match and rely on their technically superior players to take control of the match from the start. Of course, the legend Lionel Messi will shake the handle from the middle of everything. Looking at the history of the two teams, these two teams have faced each other three times in the World Cup. Argentina has won all the matches. Argentina beat Mexico 3-1 in the last 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
