Austria predicted lineup vs Argentina for FIFA World Cup 2026

Austria will be meeting Argentina on June 22.

Austria face Argentina in their second group-stage match at the FIFA World Cup 2026, after beating Jordan 3-1 in their first match. Austria now has 3 points and ranks up with several teams as early contenders for advancement from the group.

Austria had a very successful attack in their match against Jordan, but Argentina will prove to be a greater challenge for Austria, as they are also coming off a win. Depending on the outcome, this game could significantly affect how teams are positioned heading into the final day of the group stage.

Austria is expected to remain very similar to, if not identical to, the team that played Jordan. They are likely to have several veteran players from the team that played Jordan in their first game.

Marko Arnautovic is expected to lead Austria’s attack alongside David Alaba, Konrad Laimer, and Marcel Sabitzer. Austria is expected to use the same 4-2-3-1 formation against Argentina that they used against Jordan.

Who all will be expected in the starting lineup?

Austria’s likely to have Alexander Schlager in goal, with a defensive line-up of full-backs Stefan Posch and Philipp Mwene and the central defensive pairing of Kevin Danso and David Alaba.

Defensively, Konrad Laimer and Nicolas Seiwald will be the double pivot in midfield, with each providing defensive support while also helping the ball progress through the midfield.

Further up, Romano Schmid should start out left, Patrick Wimmer on the right, and Marcel Sabitzer in the No. 10 position behind a lone striker; this trio will provide support for the striker’s play and create chances in the final third.

Expect experienced international Marko Arnautovic to lead the attack as the captain of the team against Argentina.

Austria predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): Schlager; Posch, Danso, Alaba, Mwene; Laimer, N. Seiwald; Wimmer, Sabitzer, Schmid; Arnautovic.
