Follow UsArgentina vs Mexico on Saturday night as Argentina is still smarting from one of the World Cup's great shocks.
"We're dead," Lionel Messi said in the wake of Argentina's 2-1 defeat to Saudi Arabia. Lionel Scaloni only has four days to revive his squad for a match which has ballooned in importance.
For Mexico's manager, Gerardo Martino, the significance of this tie was guaranteed regardless of the opening results. The Rosario-born boss led Argentina to a pair of Copa America finals, losing both on penalties to Chile before resigning in 2016.
The second round of fixtures in World Cup Group C pits Argentina and Mexico against each other, a fixture that holds plenty of history.
First meeting all the way back in 1930 at the inaugural World Cup, a fixture in which Argentina won 6-3, these two sides have met 31 times overall with Mexico tasting victory on just four of those occasions.
As such, Argentina will enter here as odds-on pick even if their 2-1 loss to Saudi Arabia in their opening fixture sent shockwaves around the world.
