Analysis
Argentina is coming into this match playing in great form in their recent matches. They have won their last 8 straight matches with their attack playing very well in these and their defense being great as well. They have not allowed a goal in their last 4 matches as well as allowing just 1 goal in their last 8 straight matches, and their attack has also been great in these with 2+ goals scored in each of their last 7 matches, scoring 3+ goals in 3 of their last 4 matches as well. They are also the defending champions of the competition from 4 years ago, won Copa America 2 years ago, and they are currently still one of the better teams in the world. They are going up against an Austria side that has also been in great form recently. They have won their last 4 straight as well as 5 of their last 6 matches with no losses in that span, but they have also played against some weaker opponents in that span. They dominated their qualifying group as well, but there was no real heavy hitter in that group. Their defense has been very good recently with 1 goal allowed in their last 3 matches, but they have been facing much weaker attacks in those matches and their own attack has not been that great recently, scoring 1 goal or less in 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their last 5 matches. They are coming off of a 3-1 win against Jordan in their 1st match of this tournament, but Jordan gave them some trouble in that match and they allowed Jordan to find the net when they do not have a lot of quality in their attack. Argentina made a statement in their 1st match with a 3-0 win against a good Algeria side and they are going to get up for this match to clinch their spot in the next round and possibly even the group. Argentina will win this match and collect all 3 points here, take Argentina -1 here. FIFA World Cup: Argentina -1, Rot. 225394
