Argentina's chances of qualifying to the knock phase hangs on a thin thread and Qatar has already shown that it has the potential to dent the plans of Lionel Messi and co.

What is the position of Qatar in contrast to Argentina's?

Qatar is third in Group B with just a point after two matches. Argentina sits at the bottom of the table with a point and a goal difference lesser than Qatar's.

What is the form of Qatar as compared to Argentina's?

Despite being tipped as one of the favorites prior to the start of the 2019 Copa America, Argentina is one bad result away from elimination. The Albiceleste started on the wrong foot by suffering a 2-0 defeat against Colombia and are yet to get back on track after picking up just a point against Venezuela.

Not many predicted this turn of events considering Lionel Messi and his compatriots entered the competition with a considerable number of wins under their belts. In the buildup to the tournament, they recorded seven wins in 10 matches, drawing one and losing the other two.

On the other hand, Qatar is also in line to qualify to the knockout phase should it successfully crash the party for La Albiceleste in the coming match up. The Asians are currently on a three-game winless run although they won seven games on the trot before that.

Against Paraguay in the previous group encounter, Qatar showed grit to seal a 2-2 draw after initially going two goals down. The match against Colombia was also on course to being a draw but for the late winner.

What is the head-to-head record of Qatar vs Argentina?

Qatar and Argentina have only met once in the past. The fixture which dates back to 2005 saw the latter securing a 3-0 win thanks to goals by Juan Roman Riquelme, Julio Cruz and Roberto Ayala.

Predicted starting XI for Qatar vs Argentina

Qatar's potential starting lineup: Sheeb; Rawi, Khoukhi, Salman; Miguel, Haydos, Madibo, Hatim, Hassan; Afif, Ali
