Argentina and Egypt face off for only the second time ever in the Round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup. Their sole previous encounter came back in 2008—a 2-0 victory for the South Americans in a match Lionel Messi sat out due to injury.
Messi is expected to be available this time around, and the Inter Miami talisman has once again been the driving force for Argentina, netting seven goals—accounting for 63% of his side's total tally.
Argentina's strengths extend well beyond Messi, however. The team has commanded possession (55%), leads the tournament in passing accuracy (92%), and has let in just three goals throughout the competition.
Egypt, on the other hand, has leaned heavily on grit and determination, claiming only one victory within 90 minutes and requiring a penalty shootout to eliminate Australia in the last 16. Hossam Hassan's squad has been solid at the back, recording 197 turnovers and applying 199 pressures, though their attacking output has been limited to just 17 shots on target.
Argentina are likely to dictate play, while Egypt will look to disrupt their rhythm and hit on the break.
