Argentina survived an almighty scare in the Round of 32, with the reigning World Cup winners needing three goals and extra time to see off minnows Cape Verde.
That performance stood in stark contrast to their group-stage form, where Lionel Scaloni’s side topped their group with three wins from three that came by a combined margin of seven goals.
Was their struggles against Cape Verde a sign of things to come, or will Argentina bounce back and dominate their Round of 16 clash with Egypt on Tuesday?
They are strong favourites to progress, with the South American giants priced at 1/9 to reach the last eight. Egypt, meanwhile, are 5/1 outsiders to pull off an upset and book their place in the quarter-finals.
