Argentina and Austria will meet at the World Cup for the first time. Argentina are unbeaten in their two previous meetings - a 5-1 win in 1980 featuring Diego Maradona’s only international hat-trick, and a 1-1 draw in 1990, both friendlies played in Vienna.

Argentina have lost just one of their last eight World Cup group stage matches against European nations (W4 D3), a 3-0 defeat to Croatia during the 2018 edition.
