The story
Algeria are unbeaten in 87 of their last 95 matches and have kept clean sheets in four of their last five, conceding just 0.4 goals per match across that run. Argentina return to the World Cup for the first time in over 1,200 days, though they won all four of their matches at the last tournament, with Lionel Messi — their highest-rated player across those games — absent for this one. Eight of the last nine World Cup meetings between these sides have finished under 3.5 goals.
