Argentina's 2022 World Cup victory stood as the defining achievement of Lionel Messi's illustrious career. It silenced years of criticism from those who claimed he could never match Diego Maradona's legacy without a global title, and lifted La Albiceleste back to football's pinnacle after a 36-year absence from the top.
Unsurprisingly, Argentina enter as strong favorites against Algeria, having been dominant throughout CONMEBOL qualifying. They won 12 of their 18 matches, drawing two and losing four, finishing nine points ahead of closest rivals Ecuador. Argentina are currently riding a seven-game winning run under the guidance of Lionel Scaloni.
Algeria, sitting 28th in FIFA's world rankings, are no easy opponents, however, and will be eager to put up a strong fight against Argentina. Riyad Mahrez continues to be the key figure for a side that have claimed victory in three of their last four outings—a run that features a win against the Netherlands and a draw with Uruguay.
