Making the trip out to Qatar in November with many tipping them to shine on the international stage, it is no surprise that Argentina are seen as the leading contender to clinch top spot in Group C.

However, while the South American heavyweights might be regarded as a landslide pick, it appears that we could have a two-horse race on our hands to see who can follow Argentina to the knockout stage.

World Cup Group C Fixtures

While Qatar might have the privilege of opening this year’s World Cup as the tournament hosts will meet Ecuador on November 20th, Group C will have to wait a little longer before they’re able to get their own adventures underway.

In a group that will have most of the headlines stolen by two-time world champions Argentina, the Group C favourites will be looking to lay down an early marker when they open their campaign against Saudi Arabia 48 hours later.

Likewise, with Mexico and Poland set for what could be a crucial early-tournament decider in the opening round, a full rundown of the Group C fixtures can be found below:

November 22nd, 2022:

• 10:00: Argentina vs Saudi Arabia
• 16:00: Mexico vs Poland

November 26th, 2022:

• 13:00 Poland vs Saudi Arabia
• 19:00 Argentina vs Mexico

November 30th, 2022:

• 19:00 Poland vs Argentina
• 19:00 Saudi Arabia vs Mexico

If Argentina are to avoid what would be a major banana skin in Qatar and clinch top spot in Group C, then La Albiceleste will already know that the runner-up in Group D will be waiting for them in the knockout stage.

With that Round of 16 showdown scheduled for December 4th in Doha, it has also been confirmed that whoever was to finish second in Group C will most likely be on course for a tough task against defending world champions France.

As both Mexico and Poland look to battle it out for a silver-medal finish in Group C, a potential clash against Les Bleus would take place on December 3rd at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium.

 

Group C: A Look at the Nations

Listed below we have taken a look at all the crucial information and statistics from the nations that will be competing in Group C this year. Likewise, we have also had an in-depth glance at the essential betting options and found everything that punters will need before the fixtures get underway, whether this is the BTTS market or a traditional correct score outcome.

 

Argentina

Handed what many felt was a favourable Group C draw ahead of their trip to Qatar, it is hard to find a single football fan who hasn’t tipped Argentina as a landslide pick to cruise their way to the knockout stage.

Despite being disappointed after having to settle for a quarter finals finish back in 2018, the South American icons are in the midst of what has been a stellar purple patch.

Signing off their pre-World Cup run with another flurry during September’s international break, Lionel Scaloni’s men are now unbeaten in each of their previous 35 appearances across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to July 2019.

Skyrocketing up the FIFA rankings and boasting a superstar squad of attacking options, the two-time world champions certainly have their sights set on making more history this year.

Spearheaded by the iconic Lionel Messi and riding what has been quite a wave of momentum, Argentina should feel they have a golden chance to reach the knockout stage without much of an issue.

Argentina Statistics:

FIFA World Ranking: 3

World Cup Appearances: 17

Highest Finish: Winner (1978, 1986)

Manager: Lionel Scaloni

Captain: Lionel Messi

Star Player: Lionel Messi (PSG)

 

Poland

While Poland might have ended their eight-year exile from the world stage back in 2018, the Eagles once again flattered to deceive as they failed to clinch another knockout stage finish.

Failing to book a ticket to the Round of 16 since the World Cup finals in 1986, Czesław Michniewicz has made it clear that his side must be focused on drawing a line under their extended group stage struggles.

Nevertheless, securing their spot out in Qatar after a 2-0 play-off victory against Sweden on March 29th, Poland do boast an eye-catching squad that should fancy their chances of mounting a real charge for that lucrative second spot in Group C.

Clinching two bronze medal finishes in the space of eight years between 1974 and 1982, Michniewicz will undeniably be calling on Poland’s attacking legend to spearhead their efforts in Qatar.

Only continuing on another remarkable free-scoring run since arriving at Barcelona over the summer, Robert Lewandowski will be crucial if Poland are to make any kind of statement.

Poland Statistics:

FIFA World Ranking: 26

World Cup Appearances: 8

Highest Finish: 3 (1974, 1982)

Manager: Czesław Michniewicz

Captain: Robert Lewandowski

Star Player: Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona)

 

Mexico

While it might be Argentina who holds the most World Cup pedigree in Group C, Mexico have a host of experience on the world stage as they get ready for an eighth consecutive appearance on world sport’s biggest stage.

Eventually having to settle for a second-place finish behind Canada while on CONCACAF qualifying duties earlier in the year, Gerardo Martino’s men are desperate to extend on what is a remarkable record when it comes to booking their knockout stage ticket.

In fact, along with preparing to make their eighth straight World Cup appearance in November, the Tricolor have shockingly progressed past the group stages each of those times.

However, despite hosting European-based stars such as Wolves strikes Raul Jiminez and Napoli’s Hirving Lozano, Mexico do have the feel of a side seeking some recent stability.

Mustering just a pair of pre-tournament victories from their last seven attempts, Martino’s side know that they have plenty of pressure on their shoulders from a passionate support back home.

Mexico Statistics:

FIFA World Ranking: 12

World Cup Appearances: 16

Highest Finish: Quarter Finals (1970, 1986)

Manager: Gerardo Martino

Captain: Andrés Guardado

Star Player: Hirving Lozano (Napoli)

 

Saudi Arabia

While Saudi Arabia might be making their seventh appearance at a World Cup finals this year, the Falcons know that they face another monumental challenge when they travel to Qatar in November.

Although the potential Group C whipping boys might have managed to reach the Round of 16 back in 1994 as they made real history in the USA, Hervé Renard’s men have struggled to lay down any kind of marker on the world stage.

Mustering just a single win from any of their previous 13 group stage appearances at the World Cup – with that sole victory coming against Egypt in 2018 – Saudi Arabia have also failed to pick up much momentum over recent months.

Failing to win any of their final four pre-tournament friendlies and not even bagging a single consolation strike, Renard’s squad will know that they need a minor miracle if they’re to somehow find a route out of Group C.

Saudi Arabia Statistics:

FIFA World Ranking: 53

World Cup Appearances: 6

Highest Finish: Round of 16 (1994)

Manager: Hervé Renard

Captain: Salman Al-Faraj

Star Player: Saleh Al-Shehri (Al-Hilal)
