Argentina vs Austria Preview and Team News
Argentina Team News
Argentina got off to an excellent start at the FIFA World Cup with a 3-0 win over Algeria. They have now won each of their last five matches across all competitions and have kept four clean sheets during that stretch.
Lionel Messi starred for La Albiceleste with a hat-trick against Algeria. Now, he needs just one goal to become the all-time leading goalscorer in FIFA World Cup history, surpassing Germany’s Miroslav Klose.
Midfielder Rodrigo De Paul, who provided the assist for Messi’s first goal, impressed with 92% passing accuracy and completed 100% of his dribbles. Central defender Lisandro Martinez, meanwhile, won 100% of his ground duels.
The only injury concern is left-back Nicolas Tagliafico, who remains doubtful with a muscle injury.
Argentina predicted lineup vs Austria (4-4-2): E. Martinez; Medina, Lisandro Martinez, Romero, Montiel; Almada, Fernandez, Mac Allister, De Paul; Lautaro Martinez, Messi.
Austria Team News
Austria have won four of their last five matches, including a convincing 3-1 victory over Jordan in their FIFA World Cup opener.
Das Team controlled 63% of possession and registered 11 shots, four of them on target, finishing with an xG of 1.69 compared to their opponents’ 0.46.
Midfielder Xaver Schlager was one of their standout performers, completing 96% of his passes and winning 100% of his aerial duels before being taken off in the 59th minute, likely as a precautionary measure by manager Ralf Rangnick.
Winger Romano Schmid, who scored a goal, also posted 100% shooting accuracy.
Das Team enter this match with a fully fit squad and no reported injury concerns.
Austria predicted lineup vs Argentina (4-2-3-1): A. Schlager; Mwene, Alaba, Lienhart, Posch; X. Schlager, Siewald; Sabitzer, Laimer, Schmid; Arnautovic.
Argentina vs Austria Prediction
- Pick: Argentina to win
- Odds: -185 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Argentina 3-1 Austria
Argentina sit atop the FIFA rankings, while Austria are ranked 24th. La Albiceleste are also the defending World Cup champions after lifting the trophy for the third time in 2022.
Their recent form has also been impressive. Argentina have won each of their last five matches, conceded only one goal, and scored 15 during that run, averaging three per game.
Austria have been impressive in their own right, winning four of their last five encounters, scoring 11 goals, and conceding three, but they have not faced opposition of Argentina’s caliber. Given La Albiceleste’s quality, experience, and defensive stability, they should have the edge in this matchup.
Argentina vs Austria Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Lionel Messi to score
- Odds: -101 (20Bet)
We expect Lionel Messi to score. He is currently tied for the all-time FIFA World Cup scoring record with 16 goals and needs just one goal to have the record all to himself.
His recent form supports our prediction. Messi scored a hat-trick against Algeria, led all players with six shots, and recorded an xGOT of 1.87.
Even at 38 years old, Messi remains one of the game’s most dangerous attacking players. He entered the World Cup after recording 20 goal involvements for Inter Miami this season and continues to be Argentina’s focal point in the final third.
With history on the line and La Albiceleste expected to control large portions of the match, Messi looks well-positioned to find the net once again.
