Fifa World Cup: Start in 3rd and 4th Group!
We start in Group 3 and Group 4 today at the World Cup in Qatar with the menu including four matches. We have favorites in three of the four pairs (Argentina, Denmark, France). An ambiguous match is expected between Mexico and Poland.
See today's program in detail:
12:00 Argentina – Saudi Arabia (3rd group), (Lusail Stadium, Lusail)
The World Cup battle is also joined by the company of Lionel Messi, who starts out as one of the favourites to win the World Cup. Argentina is in excellent competitive condition and is running an unbeaten streak of 36 matches (26-10-0). They also come from winning the Copa America in 2021 and so Messi won his first title with his representative group. Coach Scaloni wants 26 "kamikazes" and made two changes to the mission after the friendly against the UAE (16/11, 0-5), as he could not wait and take risks. The unprepared H. Korea and Gonzalez were replaced by Almada and Anh. Korea.
Saudi Arabia, which is present for the 6th time in the finals of the World Cup, has before it in the premiere a very difficult task. The players of the inexperienced Hervé Renard will try to make the big surprise. Also, it should be noted that one of the stars of the team, striker Fahad Al Muvalad, with 17 international goals, was not invited to the mission due to a doping case.
15:00 Denmark – Tunisia (4th group), (Education City Stadium, Doha)
Denmark is preparing to surprise at this year's World Cup. In the qualifiers he scored 9 wins and lost only to Scotland in an indifferent game. She basically took the lead in her group ahead of France which she won twice. Again the two teams will see each other at the World Cup, as they are in the same group. Danes' coach, Kasper Hjulmand, is doing a great job and that was evident last year in Yuro.
He qualified for a World Cup for the sixth time but struggled immensely. A group with weaknesses Tunisia that will try for the best and have decent presences.
18:00 Mexico - Poland (3rd group), (974 Stadium, Doha)
For the 8th consecutive time he is present at a World Cup in Mexico. Federal coach Gerardo Martino has been at the helm of the team since January 2019 and has a good record (41-11-11). The team's goal is to qualify for the next stage and based on the data, he will fight for it with his current opponent. It should be noted that it is without a draw in the last 5 matches (2-0-3) Mexico for the lovers of statistics.
On the other hand, Poland secured its presence in the World Cup through the barrage process. Initially, they finished 2nd (behind England) in the 9th qualifying group with 20 points in 10 matches (6-2-2). After the elimination of Russia, they went without a match in the final of the playoffs, where they defeated Sweden 2-0 to get the ticket to Qatar. This year is her 9th participation in the final phase of the Event.
21:00 France - Australia (4th group), (Al-Janoub Stadium, Al-Wakrah)
World Cup holders want to become the 3rd team in history to do the back to back (Brazil and Italy the others), but first they have to exorcise the curse that began with this trophy winner in 1998, which wants the holder to be eliminated in the group stage, except brazil in 2006. This, of course, seems very difficult to happen. The biggest problem for Dinier Deschamps will be the significant absences that have arisen in recent days, especially of Karim Benzema. Except for Kante, Pogba and Enkunku.
Fifth consecutive World Cup appearance for Australia. Without a win in the last two World Cups, he suffered 5 defeats and got only one draw from Denmark, which he faces in the finale of the matchdays. He will try in this tournament to exorcise this curse and whatever comes out...
