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

Poland have a chance to seal their place in the knockout rounds of the FIFA World Cup 2022 when they take on mighty Argentina. However, it will not be an easy task against Lionel Messi and Co. The South American nation entered the competition, with many labeling them as favourites to go all the way in the tournament. However, they did not start the World Cup in the best form. They lost 2-1 to Saudi Arabia, which ended their incredible 36-game unbeaten run. Even though they bounced back from that setback, Argentina still find themselves only second to Poland in Group C and need the win on Wednesday night to secure their place in the round-of-16 stage.

Argentina’s long undefeated streak convinced many that it could help them go deep in this competition. However, their opening game setback sent shockwaves across the world. Inspired by Lionel Messi, Argentina bounced back to beat Mexico 2-0 in their next fixture. With three points from two matches, they are sitting second in the standings. Meanwhile, Poland started the campaign with a disappointing goalless draw against Mexico. However, they went on to win their next fixture against Saudi Arabia to occupy the top spot in the group with four points.
