Bengaluru, November 29: Poland and Argentina meet in their final Group C game, with both teams still able to qualify for the knockout stages, and a win for either side will also see them get in contention for the group winners spot.
In the second round matches, Poland registered their first win of the tournament against Saudi Arabia, while Argentina bounced back from an unexpected loss to the Saudis with a victory over Mexico.
Both teams are now in contention to qualify, while Poland just needs one point to advance. Argentina, however, would be eliminated if they lose, and if they draw, they will wait on the outcome of Saudi Arabia Mexico match which also kicks off at the same time.

Poland vs Argentina Key Players to Watch:
Poland: Captain Lewandowski was a frustrated figure against Mexico, but helped his side earn a valuable win against Saudi Arabia, grabbing a goal and an assist. He will be key to the Polish team's chances in this game.
Argentina: Star attacker Lionel Messi has been the goalscoring hero for the Latin American side at this tournament providing a serious attacking threat to what is a largely pragmatic side. He has scored two of Argentina's total three goals. He will once again need to maintain the aura and the attacking threat on the flank.
Poland vs Argentina Dream11 Prediction:
This is unlikely to be a high-scoring contest, despite Argentina being the slight favorite to win and maybe move to the knockout phase. Though Poland has preserved a clean sheet in each of their past three World Cup contests, Lionel Scaloni's team will have to be at the top of their game if they want to avoid another World Cup disaster.
