Saturday (26 February) is going to be a special day in the Qatar World Cup. Defending champions France as well as title contenders Argentina will be taking to the field for the second time in this World Cup. France, who trounced Australia in their opening match, will be eyeing a win over formidable Denmark to make it to the pre-quarterfinals. At the same time, after a shocking defeat in the last match against Saudi Arabia, Argentina's team will go to the test against Mexico. The first match of the day will be between Tunisia and Australia. At the same time, in the second match, the team of Poland and Saudi Arabia will be face to face. After this there will be a match of France and then Argentina.

Australia vs Tunisia Day 1: Australia vs Tunisia teams will lock horns at the Al Janub Stadium. So far two matches have been played between Australia and Tunisia. Both have got one win each. Tunisia's FIFA ranking is 30 and Australia's ranking is 38. Tunisia had held Denmark to a goalless draw in their previous match. At the same time, Australia had lost 1-4 against France. Both the teams will be eyeing their first win in the tournament.

The Saudi Arabian team, which defeated Argentina in their first match, will go on to win the second match in a row. In front of him will be the challenge of Poland. This match will be played at Education City Stadium. There have been four matches between the two teams so far. Poland has won all the matches. Talking about FIFA rankings, Poland is at 26th and Saudi Arabia is at 51st place.

Experienced forward Robert Lewandowski, 34, is expected to score against Saudi Arabia. He was unable to score against Mexico in the last match. He has not scored a single goal in World Cup history so far. On the other hand, Saudi Arabian midfielder Salem Al-Dosari won accolades after scoring the winning goal against Argentina in the previous match. He had won everyone's heart with his performance. Now against Poland too, Dosari will look to continue his excellent form.

The third match of the seventh day will be between France and Denmark. If Olivier Giroud scores against Denmark on Saturday, he will go past Thierry Henry as France's all-time top goalscorer with 52 goals. France will be eyeing a win against Denmark at Stadium 974 to seal their place in the knockout stages.

If Tunisia and Australia draw in this group on Saturday, defending champions France will qualify for the next stage as group winners. The French team is also not taking Denmark lightly because it had to face defeat against this team twice in the Nations League. While Denmark will look to exploit France's weak defensive line, it will also be interesting to see how the team tackles the new front line led by Giroud and Kylian Mbappe.

Lionel Messi and Argentina have been mocked after their shock 1-2 defeat to Saudi Arabia and the team will be under immense pressure to bounce back when they take on Mexico on Saturday. Argentina's survival in the tournament is in jeopardy from their opening match defeat and they will need to bounce back immediately against Mexico if they are to keep their hopes alive. It is a do or die fight for him. If the team loses, they will be out of the tournament.

Former Argentina player and ex-coach Gerardo Martino is now the coach of Mexico and he is devising a strategy to inflict a crushing blow on the rival team. Martino led his country Argentina from 2014 to 2016, suffering consecutive Copa América final defeats before he stepped down. Now he is trying to take Mexico to the last-16 as a coach, for which he would not like to leave any stone unturned against Argentina.
