This is an Argentina team that feels a lot more balanced than previous iterations. Emi Martinez provides a more reliable figure than we are used to seeing in net and a backline including notable Premier League defenders Lisandro Martinez and Cristián Romero went through the whole of Conmebol qualifying by only conceding eight goals. Generally a good sign for World Cup hopefuls. Yet, it is the front end of the pitch that their qualities are still the most stacked. Talk of GOATs aside, this is an attacking selection that is bursting at the seams with the ever-green presence of Angel Di Maria likely to dovetail effortlessly down the right with one of Alvarez or Messi (fitness-dependent). Injury to Giovani Lo Celso has been a blow in the lead up to the tournament, but with options such as Alexis MacAllister, Leandro Paredes and Rodrigo de Paula there is little chance that Lautaro Martinez will be feeding off scraps.

"On top of that it is our first game of the World Cup, which is always difficult. But this is the World Cup and every game is difficult. "We don't have pressure because at the end this is football; we're going to play a World Cup. We're conscious what football represents for Argentina, but it's sport and that's why we have to step on the pitch and do our own thing. "Argentina are one of three South American teams to have lifted the World Cup, alongside Brazil (five times) and Uruguay (twice), though not since 1986, in the days of Diego Maradona, have they got their hands on the trophy. Indeed, the World Cup has provided far more painful memories than happy ones from an Argentinian perspective over the past three decades, even when factoring in their march to the final eight years ago, when they lost to Germany.

Messi failed to register a knockout-stage goal in his previous four World Cups, totalling 756 goalless minutes on the pitch, but he has netted six times in the group stage and will back himself to add to that tally in this opener. Saudi Arabia - Saleh Al Shehri Renard is without 17-goal Fahad Al Muwallad due to the winger failing a doping test earlier this year, but there are a number of other options to call upon in the final third. Al Shehri is among them, and the Al-Hilal striker will be looking to make his mark in Qatar after netting from all four of his shots on target in the AFC third-round qualifiers to finish joint-top of the scoring charts. However, of the 11 goals Saudi Arabia have scored in the finals, four of those have come from the penalty spot – a higher proportion than any other side competing in Qatar.
If anything other than going all the way will be considered a disappointment for Scaloni's side, advancing from the group stage for only the second time will be the aim for Saudi Arabia in this, their sixth participation in the tournament. Herve Renard's charges booked their place in Qatar with 13 wins and only one defeat across their 18 qualifying matches, spread across two group stages, but the luck of the draw was not on their side for the finals. Renard has experience of defying the odds after guiding Zambia to the Africa Cup of Nations crown in 2012, before doing likewise with a more fancied Ivory Coast in 2015 to become the first man to win the tournament with different teams. With this his second taste of the World Cup, having previously led Morocco in the 2018 edition, Renard is dreaming of another magical journey with Saudi Arabia.

Argentina v Saudi Arabia: South American champions aiming to conquer the worldNovember 21, 2022 11:00 1:00 min Argentina v Saudi Arabia: South American champions aiming to conquer the world Argentina head into the World Cup with the aim of adding global glory to their Copa America crown, but head coach Lionel Scaloni is all too aware of the challenges awaiting his side in Qatar – starting with first opponents Saudi Arabia. La Albiceleste ended a 28-year wait for major silverware by beating Brazil in the 2021 Copa America final, making this the first World Cup they enter as champions of their continent since USA 94.
PREDICTIONArgentina have lost three of their past five matches at the World Cup, as many as in their previous 24 combined (W16 D5), but they are strong favourites for this meeting with Saudi Arabia. That is reflected in our supercomputer prediction model, which gives Argentina an 80. 2 per cent chance of victory, compared to just 6. 9 per cent for Saudi Arabia.
At the time of writing Argentina are the second favourites to take the Jules Rimet home this year, but they are likely to face tougher tests in Qatar than that of the host nation’s neighbours Saudi Arabia, with or without Lionel Messi. When the PSG forward failed to appear in training on Friday there were rumours of injury heartbreak before a ball had been kicked, but the Argentina camp has been quick to dismiss the issue as nothing more than “muscle fatigue” requiring a bespoke training regime. However, whether their captain starts or not, Las Albicelestes are unlikely to face too much of a challenge from the 51st-ranked team in the world.

Argentina vs Saudi Arabia preview: Messi’s last chance to crown a glorious career, but will he be fit? - Sports GazetteEmbed from Getty Images Lionel Messi looks likely to be fit in time for Argentina’s opening game of the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Messi, who turned 35 this year, is not likely to play at the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America. Quite simply, there is no escaping the irresistible narrative that this tournament is all about the legacy of one the game’s greatest players. To date he has won four Champions Leagues, 11 domestic league titles, 15 domestic cups (including super cups), seven Ballon d’Ors, an Olympic Gold Medal and a Copa America. It is hard to ignore that there is only one thing yet to adorn his burgeoning trophy cabinet.
