Argentina vs Australia: Records, Stats, Goals, Head to Head & everything to know

Argentina will be keen to register their third successive victory in the FIFA World Cup 2022 when they face Australia in the round of 16. Lionel Messi and Co did well to overcome the poor start they made to this competition by winning their final two group matches in a convincing fashion. That helped them top Group C and reach the last-16 stage as one of the teams to look out for. Their run in the competition has been similar to the one Australia have also been enduring. 

After suffering a shock loss to Saudi Arabia in their opener, Argentina supporters could have been forgiven for fearing the worse. However, they did well to record back-to-back 2-0 victories in their final two group games to top Group C. Standing in their way is a spirited Australian side that followed a similar path to the South American country. After losing their opener 4-1 to France, Australia defeated Tunisia and Denmark to finish second in Group D. That mini-winning run will give them plenty of confidence ahead of this round-of-16 encounter.
