Form
Argentina arrive in superb form, winning all five of their most recent matches across all competitions. Their last outing was a hard-fought 3-2 extra-time victory over Cape Verde in the World Cup, a result that came after a more comfortable 1-3 win against Jordan. Scaloni's side also beat Austria 2-0 and Algeria 3-0 in earlier group stage fixtures, and warmed up with a 3-0 friendly win over Iceland. Five wins from five, with 12 goals scored and two conceded, tells a story of a team in clinical form despite the physical toll of recent games.
Egypt have a mixed but encouraging record across their last five. They secured a penalty shootout win over Australia most recently, with the match ending 1-1 after 90 minutes. A 1-3 win against New Zealand in the group stage stands as their most convincing result in the data, while draws against Iran (1-1) and Belgium (1-1) show resilience against strong opposition. Their only defeat in the run came in a pre-tournament friendly against Brazil, losing 2-1. Three wins, two draws, and one loss across the five matches, with seven goals scored and six conceded.
Head-to-Head Record
The head-to-head data contains only one previous meeting between these two sides. Egypt hosted Argentina in a friendly on March 26, 2008, with Argentina winning 2-0. There is no further recorded meeting in the dataset, making Tuesday's clash a rare occasion for both nations to share a pitch at a major tournament.
Confirmed kits
Argentina wear their famous Albiceleste home kits, with white and sky blue vertical-striped shirts plus white shorts and socks. The reigning World Cup winners' goalkeeper wears a light green kit with a black trim.
Egypt wear red shirts with black shorts and socks. The Pharaohs' goalkeeper wears an all-yellow kit.
The match officials wear yellow.

It will be sunny before the game, and there will be light cloud afterwards, with a gentle breeze from the west throughout the afternoon.
