Poland vs Argentina 30.11.2022

Poland’s hopes of clinching a last 16 place at this year’s World Cup faces a stern test against Argentina. Having secured a barren draw in their opening game against Mexico, Poland earned their first win of the tournament in a 2-0 victory over Saudi Arabi. Here, they will look to build on that win in their bid to avert another Group Stage exit just like it happened in 1978, 2002, 2006, and 2018. To replicate their 1974 and 1982 third-place finish, getting a productive result here is essential.

Argentina had their over 3-year unbeaten streak halted in their opening fixture against Saudi Arabia. In their second game, they bounced back to winning ways with a Messi-inspired 2-0 win over Mexico. While the South Americans are still one of the favorites to make it out of the group, they cannot afford to be overconfident here as any slip up could mean another group stage exit like in 1958,1962, and 2002. Given how they were stunned by the Saudis in their opener, we expect Scaloni’s men to be hungry for points here as it would enhance Messi’s hopes of wrapping up what could be his last World Cup in grand style.

Certainly, both sides are desperate for all 3 points to boost their last 16 chances. We expect this desperation to culminate into a huge tactical battle with the second half producing the most goals.
