Argentina vs Algeria Prediction

Group J · Tuesday, June 16 · 9:00 PM ET · Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City · TV: FOX (English), Peacock (Spanish)

Our prediction

Model win probability

70% Argentina 20% Draw 10% Algeria

Both sides open their Group J campaign here, so there is no tournament form to separate them yet. Expect a cagey opening: teams that avoid defeat on matchday one advance from their group about four times out of five historically.

Win probabilities from our Elo-based Monte Carlo model (methodology). Editorial preview, not betting advice.

Where they stand

Argentina are yet to play in Group J. Algeria are also yet to play. Top two qualify directly for the Round of 32; third can advance among the eight best thirds.
