Team News: Argentina make one change from that opener, with Nahuel Molina starting in place of Gonzalo Montiel, while Austria coach Ralf Rangnick leans on a refreshed XI including Marcel Sabitzer in midfield. What’s at Stake: Both sides won their opening matches, so the result could effectively decide who tops Group J and books a last-32 spot early. Coach Talk: Rangnick admits Austria are underdogs but says they can upset Argentina by containing Messi and playing their best football; Scaloni also warns there are “no easy games,” pointing to the tournament’s hydration breaks as a factor that fragments play. Broadcast/Local Angle: BBC schedule changes are underway due to the double World Cup coverage, with Argentina-Austria moved into the evening lineup.
