Mexico and Argentina are at the bottom of the Group C table entering their tilt on Saturday.
Poland sits atop the group with four points after drawing Mexico on Tuesday and beating Saudi Arabia 2-0 on Saturday. Saudi Arabia had a chance to punch its ticket to the knockout stage against Poland, but it instead has three points through two matches. Argentina’s back is against the wall against Mexico. If it loses, it will become the second team in the tournament to be eliminated from knockout contention. If Argentina ties Mexico, even a win against Poland in its Group C finale would not guarantee a spot in the knockout stage. Argentina is still in control of its destiny, though, as wins over Mexico and Poland would secure the team a spot in the round of 16.
If Mexico draws Argentina, it can clinch a spot in the knockout stage with a win over Saudi Arabia on Wednesday. If Mexico loses to Argentina, it will need a win over Saudi Arabia and an Argentina win over Poland to advance, and that scenario will also require the goal differential tiebreaker to be in its favor.
