Argentina vs Switzerland Preview

Holders Argentina continue to make progress at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and they are in for a real test here against Switzerland.

A side that never know then they are beaten, this Swiss team love upsetting the odds and how they would love to claim a serious scalp here against Argentina.

Lionel Messi continues to illuminate world football with his performances and with him in the side, Argentina will believe anything is possible.

That said, they rode their luck in both of their previous games against Cape Verde and Egypt, showing that they are vulnerable defensively.

All of the pressure is on Argentina here, but this should be a very good game in Kansas City.

Here is a look ahead to Argentina vs Switzerland:

As is so often the case in major tournaments, Argentina slipped under the radar a touch coming into the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Despite being the holders, their form in qualifying was relatively patchy and there was a feeling that some of their star players were on the decline.

However, they have been imperious in all of the games they have played so far, particularly in attacking areas, where they have scored at least two goals in every game they have played.

Here against the Swiss, the narrative changes a little, with this Switzerland side known for making it tough for the opposition and being very difficult to beat.

However, Argentina have the players, resources and confidence to win this game and they should get it done inside the 90 minutes.

This will be a complete contrast of styles and there is a chance that it becomes an attritional encounter with not many goals.

However, this Argentina side seemingly only know one way to play, and they will be looking to attack the Swiss from the off.

This should open the game up, with Switzerland forced to come out and play and they should be able to hurt Argentina.

A place in the last four of the World Cup is on the line, which could also see tempers flare and a red card in the match looks a decent bet.

Best Value Bet

Lionel Messi to score first @ $4.00

Bet Now

Some of the performances Lionel Messi has put in at this World Cup have been remarkable and the little maestro continues to influence games at the highest level.

He will play on the edge here against Switzerland and if he gets any sort of chance, he could well open the scoring and get Argentina on their way.
