Twice winner of the World Cup (1978, 1986), Argentina won the  Copa America last year and has remained unbeaten since July 2019 – thus their prospects could be considered more seriously in competition with the afore-mentioned teams. Argentina will play against Saudi Arabia on 22nd November, then playing Mexico in an eye-watering fixture on the 26th, whilst finishing off group C against Poland on 30th November.
