The Argentines will need the support as they come into the game with more pressure.

First report from November 30th:

Doha – On Wednesday evening the biggest duel between two world stars will rise.

But for both stars, the World Cup tournament could already end tonight.

World Cup 2022: Poland with a draw against Argentina safe in the round of 16

After the first two match days, there is an exciting constellation in Group C, which allows all four teams to make it into the round of 16.

For the Poles, who already have four points, a draw against Argentina is enough to ensure they reach the round of 16. Even with a defeat with a maximum difference of two goals, Lewy and Co. would progress, then the parallel game between Saudi would have to -Arabia and Mexico (live ticker at tz.de) end in a draw.

Even with a three-goal difference, Poland could lose and would progress if Saudi Arabia and Mexico were drawn, but the central Europeans would need to score more or equal Saudi Arabia's goals for that to happen.

Should Poland lose and Mexico win but not have a better goal difference, Lewandowski and his team would also be through.

If the goal difference is the same, the fair play rating would decide first and then the drawing of lots.

World Cup 2022: Poland vs Argentina live today – draw possible

In fact, the draw tonight is not unlikely.

Should Poland and Mexico win 2-0 today and Poland see two yellow cards, Poland and Mexico would be tied on points and goals in 2nd and 3rd place.

Even the direct comparison, a 0:0, would not determine a winner.

Poland would - as of now - do better than the Mexicans (-6 points) in the fair play rating with -4 points.

World Cup 2022: Argentina should win – otherwise Messi and Co. will have to tremble

Messi and his Argentines have everything in their own hands.

In the event of a three-pointer, they could certainly plan for the round of 16, in the event of a draw, Saudi Arabia and Mexico would have to play a draw.

Should Mexico win by a maximum of two goals, a point sharing would also suffice.

But then the Poles would be out.

Should Mexico win by three goals or more and Argentina draw, it would again be a matter of goals scored.
