Argentina, Austria, Algeria and Jordan are in Group J.

Argentina and Austria both have three points, with Argentina leading the way on goal difference.

Argentina can qualify for the next round with a win and would be assured of finishing top of Group J if Jordan fails to beat Algeria later on Monday.

Lionel Messi is on the brink of history: if he scores, he will surpass Miroslav Klose’s record to become the all-time leading goalscorer in men’s FIFA World Cup history. He tied at 16 goals with a hat-trick against Algeria.

Historically, the nations have met only twice. Argentina won the first 5-1 in 1980, while the second ended in a 1-1 draw in 1990.

Argentina enters tonight on a stunning eight-game winning streak across all competitions, including seven straight wins in World Cup matches.
