Starting with a humiliating 2-1 defeat against Saudi Arabia, Messi’s squad retaliated back smoothly, and now they are considering their chances in the knockout rounds after defeating Poland in their next Group C Fixture on Wednesday at Stadium 974.
The two-time FIFA World Cup Champions shares an equal pilgrim of three points with Saudi Arabia, while one point low from Poland. Indeed, victory in the upcoming clash could help them leapfrog to the top position and reach the last 16.
In contrast, Poland is gaining all those strengths it hold-on-to before entering the event, as they are the only nation in Qatar that hasn’t conceded any goal after playing two matches. While ending the goalless first game against Mexico and winning the next against Saudi Arabia 2-0, if Poland defeats La Albiceleste, they will get through the knockouts.
Perhaps, the regaining form of Argentina after losing the opening clash is evident as they easily defeated Mexico by 2-0 on Saturday, while their playing record against Poland reveals their upper hand, with the last victory in 2011 by 2-1.
Poland possible starting lineup:
Szczesny; Cash, Glik, Kiwior, Bereszynski; Zielinski, Bielik, Krychowiak, Frankowski; Milik, Lewandowski
Argentina possible starting lineup:
Martinez; Molina, Otamendi, Li. Martinez, Tagliafico; Fernandez, Paredes, De Paul; Messi, La. Martinez, Di Maria
