Following their perfect start at the 2026 World Cup , Argentina will face Austria in Texas aiming for a victory to secure an early qualification spot. While Lionel Messi continues to be the focal point in their quest to defend their title, Austria has also shown they are not an easy opponent to beat.
Argentina opened the tournament with a convincing 3-0 victory over Algeria, with Messi continuing to make a strong impression. Lionel Scaloni's team is currently on an eight-match winning streak, their best since 2016. The defending champions have also maintained impressive World Cup form with seven unbeaten matches recently, including five wins and two draws.
Notably, Argentina have scored exactly three goals in their last three World Cup matches. If they can continue this streak against Austria, they will move closer to becoming one of the rare teams to score three or more goals in four consecutive matches at the world's biggest tournament.
On the other side of the pitch, Austria also had a successful opening match, defeating Jordan 3-1. Under the guidance of coach Ralf Rangnick, the European team is in impressive form with 10 wins, one draw, and only one loss in their last 12 matches.
However, Austria faces a significant challenge. Argentina is currently the world number one, while Austria has only won one of their last 10 encounters against South American teams. Nevertheless, they have reason to be confident, having conceded more than two goals only once in their last 18 matches.
