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

Argentina will need to bounce back quickly following their shock loss in their opening match of the FIFA World Cup 2022. The South American nation suffered a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Saudi Arabia. That result has already left Argentina in a precarious position. They now have a chance to put that disappointment behind them when they take on Mexico in their second Group C game. However, it will not be a straightforward affair since Mexico will also be in need of three points after only managing a draw in their opener.

Mexico were lucky to get away with a point against Poland in their World Cup opener. That single point has allowed them to stay third in Group C. They will now face their most difficult task in the group stage. Notably, the Mexicans have a poor record against the South American giants, hence they have to be at the top of their game to get anything out of this match on Saturday night. Meanwhile, Argentina saw their 36-game undefeated streak come to an end in the opener. Prior to the tournament, many pundits expected them to top their group and go deep into the competition. However, the immediate priority for Lionel Messi and Co would be to get the three points against a tricky Mexico side.
