Argentina had started the 2022 world cup in Qatar on a sour note as they felled to Saudi Arabia.
However, the Albiceleste have turned the tide and redeemed their image by deafeating farmiliar foe, Mexico in the second game. Currently, Poland sits on the top of group c with four points, Argentina is second with three points, Saudi Arabia with three points also is third while Mexico has garnered a point so far, courtesy of the draw against Poland.

Argentina has won the world cup twice in history, the first being the era of great Mario Kempes who inspired the team to victory in 1978. The second time was in 1986 when Diego Armando Maradona's magical performances ensured that the Albiceleste garbbed the trophy. His hand of god against England is immemorial.
The team was very close to clinch the trophy in 1930 but came second, that was the first edition. In Italia '90 Argentina also finished runners-up and the same thing occured in 2014 when Germany denied Argentina in the final. Now in Qatar, with two trophies won under Coach Lionel Scaloni, Lionel Messi and teammates are poised to bring the trophy home.
Argentina is ahead of Poland in the head to head record as the South America has beaten the European country six times while Poland registered three victories over Argentina. Three draws has occured. With Robert Lewandowsli fired up for this match, Argentina's defence needs to be compact to curtail attacks but the Lisandro Martinez is however missing in the starting line-up.
