Argentina and Austria meet with top spot at stake
Argentina and Austria both won their opening games, so this clash on 22/06/2026 could decide who tops Group J. Argentina were ruthless against Algeria. Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick in a 3-0 win. Austria were just as convincing, beating Jordan 3-1.
The form makes this the pick of the group. A win for either side would put them in a strong spot to reach the last 16. With Messi in this kind of mood, Argentina will fancy their chances.
Austria will not be overawed. Their 3-1 win showed they can score goals. They know a result against the holders would mark them out as a real threat. Something has to give between two unbeaten sides.
