TVR 1 will host the Argentina vs Mexico World Cup Group C match at the Lusail Iconic Stadium on Saturday 26 November at 21:00.
Argentina, 1-2 with Saudi Arabia in the first game, and Mexico, 0-0 with Poland in the opener, meet in a match where the losing team will be eliminated from the final tournament in Qatar.
Istvan Kovacs is delegated as a reserve referee for the match between Argentina and Mexico, which will be headed by Daniele Orsato, assisted by assistants Ciro Carbone and Alessandro Giallatini (the same formula as in the opening match between Qatar and Ecuador).
Argentina are the first big favorites to go down 1-2 to Saudi Arabia in one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history in Qatar.
In addition to reaching the 1/8 finals, Lionel Messi has two more bets in the match with Mexico: if he plays, he will equal Diego Maradona’s record (19) of games at the World Cup, and if he scores, he will also come close to Gabriel’s goals record Batistuta (he has six in the final tournaments, compared to 10 for the legendary forward).
Meanwhile, coach Lionel Scaloni will be sacked if the Cougars fail to qualify for the Gulf World Cup group stage, with the Buenos Aires press reporting that the federation has already contacted Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone.
Mexico started with a draw in this final tournament, 0-0 with Poland, a result saved by “veteran” goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, who saved a penalty shot by Robert Lewandowski in the 58th minute.
The Mexicans have made it past the group stage at every World Cup since 1994 and have always stopped in the round of 16 in USA 1994, France 1998, South Korea and Japan 2002, Germany 2006, South Africa 2010, Brazil 2014 and Russia 2018.
The North Americans are coached by Gerardo “Tata” Martino, former coach of the Argentina national team (2014-2016), who has the advantage of knowing the opponents very well.
The last official match between the teams took place in the 1/8 finals of the FIFA World Cup in South Africa (2010), when Argentina defeated Mexico with a score of 3:1.
Superbet offers odds of 1.60 on prediction 1: Argentina win against Mexico.
