Poland vs. Argentina - Betting tips, predictions, and odds
Poland and Argentina will fight for a top spot in Group C at the FIFA World Cup when they meet in Round 3 at Stadium 974. Here you can read the best Poland vs. Argentina betting tips and predictions.
H2H, form, and stats
Poland and Argentina have faced on three occasions so far. Two of those H2Hs were at the World Cup; Poland was better 3-2 in 1974 in Stuttgart, while Argentina won 2-0 in 1978 in Rosario, when Mario Kempes scored a brace. The most recent H2H was a friendly played in 2011, and Poland won that game 2-1.
Poland is currently at the top of Group C after collecting four points in the opening two matches. Following a 0-0 stalemate with Mexico, Poland beat Saudi Arabia 2-0. It was a nervy start for Orly, who received three yellow cards in the first 20 minutes, but they also opened the scoring in the 39th minute through Piotr Zielinski (Robert Lewandowski assisted).
Only a few minutes later, Salem Al Dawsari had a chance to tie it from the penalty spot, but Wojciech Szczesny parried a poor attempt from the Saudi captain. Poland waited for the counter in the second half and Robert Lewandowski finally scored his first-ever World Cup goal to set a final result in the 82nd minute. Czesław Michniewicz’s men are now unbeaten in four games, managing to keep the net intact in each.
Argentina bounced back from a shocking 2-1 defeat to Saudi Arabia with a 2-0 victory over Mexico. La Albiceleste didn't play well in the first half and had just one attempt (off target), but they controlled the game after the interval and scored a pair of goals through Lionel Messi and substitute Enzo Fernandez. It wasn't an impressive showing from Lionel Scaloni’s side, but at least this time around they got three points.
Injuries and squad news
Poland’s head coach Czesław Michniewicz is not troubled with any injuries as all of his players are ready to go on Wednesday. The formation with two strikers in the starting lineup (Lewandowski and Milik) worked against Saudi Arabia, but Michniewicz could opt to return to a 5-4-1 he deployed against Mexico in Round 1. In any case, Robert Lewandowski, who finally broke that barrier of scoring at the World Cup, is a man to watch for the Poles here.
Argentina’s head coach Lionel Scaloni also doesn't have any injury-related concerns. It turned out that Scaloni’s changes from the Saudi Arabia game were fruitful against Mexico, and he will probably field the same starting eleven against Poland. Messi and Lautaro Martinez in the attack, and Lisandro Martinez and Nicolas Otamendi in the heart of defense will be key players in this one. After scoring against Mexico, Enzo Fernandez could get a starting nod instead of Guido Rodriguez or Alexis Mac Allister.

Our best tip for Poland vs. Argentina game
The situation in this group is wide open; Poland has four points, Argentina and Saudi Arabia three apiece, and Mexico one. The Poles need a point to secure their place in the Round of 16, while a win would guarantee them a top spot. Still, Argentina is a better side and will be looking to score as early as possible because a point here could be insufficient to progress to the knockout stage.
The underdogs are well aware of that and will wait for their chance on the counter, just like they did against Saudi Arabia. Poland doesn't have speedy players, but they are playing well in transition and have a world-class striker who is capable of unlocking any defense. We expect goals on each end.
