Argentina: Reigning champions, world number one, with Messi on his farewell tour — it's hard to think of more reasons to label Argentina the top favourite. Behind Messi stands a team that wins without him too: Martínez intimidates keepers, Mac Allister and Enzo Fernández control any midfield, Álvarez and Almada find the goals.
Austria: Under Rangnick, Austria play modern, intense football with high pressing. Sabitzer, Alaba (if fit), Baumgartner and Arnautović form the core.
