Argentina U20 vs Australia U20 Prediction

Argentina are the most successful side in Under-20 World Cup history but have not triumphed since Messi and Aguero led them to victory in 2005 and 2007 respectively. Furthermore, Los Cebollitas have not made it to the quarterfinals since 2011.

Australia are making a return to this stage after a 12-year absence. They got here by winning the 2025 AFC Under-20 Asian Cup but struggled in preparations for the tournament, losing three of four pre-tournament friendlies. Their return did not go according to plan, although they largely held their own for large parts in defeat to Italy.

Argentina are the favorites and a win here would leave them on the cusp of advancing to the knockout rounds.
