Group Stage · Group J
About this match
Argentina and Austria arrive at the second round of Group J level on points, but separated by goal difference — a win here would virtually stamp a knockout-stage berth for whichever side comes out on top. Argentina bring the confidence of Messi, who netted a hat-trick on matchday one against Algeria; the Austrians, without the injured Baumgartner but solid in their 3-1 victory over Jordan, are eager to prove that the group's surprise package belongs to them.
