Argentina have little time to recover from one of the biggest shocks in World Cup history as they take on Mexico in today’s late game.

Beaten by Saudi Arabia, Lionel Messi’s quest to finally win the biggest trophy in the game got off to the worst possible start. Tipped as favourites after a 36-man unbeaten streak and a Copa America win to boot, the manner of their performance – albeit against an excellent Saudi side – will be of huge concern.

Frankly, anything other than a win against Mexico would be a catastrophe.

Tata Martino’s side, meanwhile, held Poland to a draw in their opening game and could do with three points themselves if they’re going to continue their long-running tradition of making it into the last-16.

Argentina vs Mexico team news

Lisandro Martinez is surely pushing for a start given the problems the Argentine defence encountered against Saudi Arabia. Julian Alvarez is another who could come in, with Lautaro Martinez proving ineffective on Tuesday.

For Mexico, there are no fresh injury concerns.

Argentina vs Mexico prediction

While Argentina’s performance was worrying, their recent form would at least suggest the Saudi game was something of a blip. Certainly, they have enough quality to bounce back.

Argentina to win 2-1.
