IN a group where all four teams can still qualify, Argentina and Poland face off to decide who goes through to the Round of 16.
The Poles currently top the group after a goalless draw against Mexico and a hard-fought 2-0 win against Saudi Arabia in the face of overwhelming support against them.
For Argentina, they at last came to the party after yet another piece of Lionel Messi brilliance got them off and running in their win over Mexico. Of course, they had earlier crashed to that stunning opening day defeat to Saudi Arabia.
It's all about the permutations and the Poles only need a draw to guarantee qualification, but that is easier said than done when you are playing Argentina at a World Cup.
The Argentines know a win will take them through, but a draw leaves them vulnerable on goal difference and they daren't take the risk with Mexico and Saudi Arabia playing at the same time.
There remains plenty of question marks against Argentina, but they finally showed glimpses of what they can do against the Mexicans.
But a Lionel Messi v Robert Lewandowski clash is why this makes the World Cup the greatest tournament in the world.
How the bookies view it
Argentina are huge favourites here with Highbet. They can be backed at 41/100, while the Poles are big outsiders at 129/20 – around 13/2 in old money. The draw is 16/5.
Recent head to head
The nations have met in two World Cup Finals. Poland won in 1974 in West Germany on their way to a semi-final spot, while Argentina won 2-0 in their home venue on their way to winning the 1978 World Cup.
Players to watch
A great clash awaits here and Barcelona hero Lewandowski finally grabbed his first World Cup goal against Saudi Arabia. He is a big price by his standards at 11/4 with Highbet.
Messi's spark of genius against Mexico could be the goal to kickstart Argentina's campaign. The PSG icon is 113/100 to score anytime and with him on the set pieces and penalties, that seems acceptable.
Anything else catch the eye?
Argentina showed enough signs in the last game that they are starting to get their act together and can overpower the Poles on Wednesday.
They are too short to back on their own, but you can get a respectable 3/4 on an Argentina win and them to score over 1.5 goals with Highbet.
Three of the four games involving Poland and Argentina have seen at least five cards, so with so much at stake here, try the over 4.5 cards with Highbet at 57/50.
