youalkSPORTS PARIS – Lionel Messi to score a free-kick NOW 12/1 – CLAIM HERE*
Messi has scored two goals and assisted the other of the three goals Argentina have scored in this World Cup.
The South American champions have recovered from their terrible start in which they were beaten 2-1 by Saudi Arabia in one of the biggest World Cup clashes of all time, beating Mexico 2-0 in their next game.
victory means The Albiceleste sit second in Group C heading into the final round of matches, just one point behind their opponents tonight, knowing that a win will take them through to the next round and will likely see them win the group.
Tonight’s opponents Poland currently top the group with four points and know a draw would be enough to book their place in the last 16.
The Eagles are yet to concede a goal in the tournament, having drawn 0-0 against Mexico and defeated Saudi Arabia 2-0 in their second game.
A victory for the Poles would guarantee them first place in the group and save them a likely match against world champions France in the next round.
If Poland reach the round of 16, it will be the first time since 1986.
Argentina have led Poland 6-3 in their previous 11 encounters, with the last game dating back to 2011 when Poland won 2-1 at home in a friendly.
