Having won the men's football gold in both Athens and Beijing, Argentina headed into their campaign in Brazil high on confidence. However, they were stunned 2-0 by Portugal in their first match and find themselves on the back foot heading into their follow-up fixture against Algeria on Sunday. Anything other than a victory would surely be considered a disaster for one of the tournament's most talented teams.

The good news for Argentina is that they certainly should have enough to see off an Algeria side that were defeated 3-2 by Honduras in their first match. Algeria coach Pierre-André Schürmann hasn't been able to call on any of the senior national team's big stars, with even his three overaged players drawn from within Algeria's domestic league. It's not a particularly strong team, and they'll do well to avoid a big defeat here.
