How Argentina and Austria Compare

Argentina’s recent form is among the most dominant of any side heading into the 2026 tournament — six wins from six, a goals-against average of just 0.17, and five clean sheets underline both their attacking efficiency and defensive solidity. Austria, by contrast, have been productive and largely unbeaten themselves, though their defensive record (0.50 goals conceded per match) and PPG of 2.67 sit a level below Argentina’s extraordinary numbers. Where Austria have shown their quality is in their attacking variety — a 5-1 thrashing of Ghana and a 3-1 win over Jordan demonstrate they can shift through the gears when needed, even if Argentina’s defensive record in this period is in a class of its own.
