One of the biggest match-ups of the World Cup 2022 group stages is Argentina vs Mexico, with the two heavyweight football teams meeting as part of the group C games on November 26.

What you need to know about the match
Argentina and Mexico have met quite a few times on the pitch in recent years, recently with a friendly in 2019 and two in 2018. Unfortunately for the North American team, the South American one almost invariably wins these games — in fact, Mexico hasn't won one in 18 years.
However that doesn't mean Argentina is a shoo-in to win the game, because of its previous World Cup performance. It lost 2-1 to Saudi Arabia in a shocking twist, casting a long shadow over its future games in the tournament.
For context, Mexico drew 0-0 with Poland in its first game.
Both Argentina and Mexico are favorites to win in their group, with Poland and Saudi Arabia trailing them, but those predictions were made before the first matches. So while nothing is certain, a win in the Mexico vs Argentina game could be a ticket to the knockout round for the victor.
