The quarter-finals at the 2026 World Cup will conclude in the early hours of Sunday morning with Argentina taking on Switzerland at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. With three of both these sides’ five games in this tournament ending with both teams scoring, we are going with that trend continuing as our main prediction in this match.
La Albiceleste enter this clash off the back of one of the best comebacks of this year’s tournament. Lionel Scaloni’s side overturned a 2-0 deficit - albeit with a fair amount of controversy - to send Egypt home in the RO16, and they are now three wins away from becoming the first team to win back-to-back World Cups since Brazil in 1962.
In almost complete contrast to Argentina’s free-flowing last match, the Red Crosses played to a nail-biting goalless draw against Colombia before progressing 4-3 on penalties. Nati have not featured in the last eight of a World Cup since 1954 and have never tasted victory against this opponent in seven encounters dating back to 1966 - can they overcome the reigning world champions this time? Let’s get into the key stats!

Argentina - Switzerland: Form Analysis
Argentina has been made to work to secure their spot in the quarter-finals. They first edged Cape Verde 3-2 in extra time in the Round of 32 before their thrilling comeback against Egypt on Tuesday night.
La Albiceleste’s attack, spearheaded by Lionel Messi, has been the cornerstone of their success. They have scored 14 goals in this competition, which is the joint-most alongside France.
The world champions are now riding a 12-match win streak since October last year and have lost just one of their last 20 matches in all competitions (against Paraguay) dating back to November 2024.
Argentina has the highest xG (10.85) of any team still standing in the 2026 World Cup!
Meanwhile, after an unexpected draw against Qatar in their opening match, Switzerland has rattled off four wins on the bounce, beating Bosnia and Herzegovina, Canada, Algeria and Colombia.
The Red Crosses have now gone over 200 minutes without conceding a goal, despite facing 15 shots at goal and averaging 1.09 xGA against Colombia in their Round of 16 tie on Tuesday night.
The Swiss are now unbeaten in their last eight matches in all competitions (W5 D3). Their only defeat since March last year came against Germany in a thrilling seven-goal international friendly (4-3).

Argentina & Switzerland Squad Analysis
Lionel Messi has been incredible in this competition. The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner leads the Golden Boot race with eight goals in five matches, and he has the highest xG per 90 of any player in the tournament.
Lautaro Martinez made a very impressive cameo off the bench and set up the winner against Egypt in the last match. He could get the nod to start alongside Messi here, in place of Julian Alvarez.
Nicolás González and Facundo Medina both shook off knocks to feature off the bench in the last match. Argentina do not have any new injury concerns to deal with coming into this one.
Messi is the first player in World Cup history to score in six consecutive knockout matches!
Johan Manzambi is Switzerland’s top scorer in this competition and was a major miss in the last match due to a knee injury. Unfortunately for the Swiss , the Magpies' new signing has been unable to recover in time and has been ruled out for this fixture as well.
Pisa midfielder Michel Aebischer and VfB Stuttgart’s centre-back Luca Jacquez are both carrying muscle strains at present, and the duo will be game-time decisions.
The Nati's standout performer in this tournament has been Granit Xhaka, who has the most possessions won in the World Cup. He will have a big task on hand keeping Enzo Fernades and Leandro Paredes quiet.

Our Argentina vs Switzerland Prediction
While Argentina are one of the favourites to win the title this year thanks to their impeccable attacking unit, their defence has been questionable, having conceded five goals in the last three games.
Switzerland, on the other hand, have kept back-to-back clean sheets ahead of this match. However, keeping Messi and co quiet is a huge ask, and we feel the Swiss will need to find the back of the net to stay in this contest. Our Argentina vs Switzerland prediction is BTTS.
