ARG vs AUS Match Preview


After suffering a stunning 2-1 defeat against Saudi Arabia in their tournament opener, which also ended Argentina’s 36-match unbeaten streak, they have expectedly returned to the tournament more strongly with two clean-sheet victories. World football is expecting their continuous dominant performance in this upcoming match.

In their last eight games, Australia won six times, drew once and lost only once. When they faced the defending champions, France, in the tournament opener, the Socceroos got an early 1-0 lead, but the French side ultimately thrashed them by 4-1. Except for that France encounter, the Aussies haven’t much tested against strong international teams yet. Also, in their last six games, only once they managed to score more than one goal, which shows their goal-scoring issues.

It will be their first FIFA World Cup meeting and eighth overall meeting. Apart from winning their first official encounter in 1988 (by 4-1), Australia never won against Argentina as the South American side won five times and drew once, including currently running with a four-match winning streak.
