Preview: Argentina vs Austria
Argentina enter this match as favourites, but Austria have the quality to create problems. Lionel Scaloni’s side looked sharp in their first match, with Messi producing one of the standout performances of the tournament so far. Argentina controlled the game against Algeria and showed why they remain one of the strongest teams in the competition.
The biggest talking point is Messi’s form. His hat-trick in the opening game took him level with Miroslav Klose on 16 World Cup goals. One more goal would make Messi the all-time leading scorer in men’s World Cup history. That record chase adds more attention to an already important Group J match.
Austria, meanwhile, started their campaign strongly with a 3-1 win over Jordan. Ralf Rangnick’s team are expected to press high, attack quickly and try to stop Argentina from building rhythm in midfield. Austria have experienced players like David Alaba, Marcel Sabitzer and Marko Arnautovic, along with energetic midfielders who can make the game physically demanding.
This match is not only about Argentina’s attack. Austria’s pressing style can test Argentina’s defence and midfield structure. If Austria can force mistakes and create transitions, they may have chances to trouble the defending champions.
Argentina Predicted Lineup
Emiliano Martinez; Nahuel Molina, Cristian Romero, Lisandro Martinez, Facundo Medina; Rodrigo De Paul, Alexis Mac Allister, Enzo Fernandez, Thiago Almada; Lionel Messi, Lautaro Martinez.
Austria Predicted Lineup
Alexander Schlager; Konrad Laimer, Philipp Lienhart, David Alaba, Philipp Mwene; Nicolas Seiwald, Xaver Schlager; Romano Schmid, Carney Chukwuemeka, Marcel Sabitzer; Marko Arnautovic.
Argentina vs Austria Head-to-Head
Argentina and Austria do not have a long competitive history against each other. Their previous meetings have mainly been friendly matches. Argentina won 5-1 in a friendly in 1980, while another meeting ended in a 1-1 draw in 1990.
This FIFA World Cup 2026 match is important because it gives both teams a chance to take control of Group J.
