The dark horse of Africa encounters the World Cup's big villain! Can Algeria replicate the Saudi Arabia miracle?

Every World Cup, there is always a team responsible for creating fairy tales.
And Algeria clearly wants to take over that script this year.
Facing the defending champion Argentina, many fans have already started reminiscing about Saudi Arabia's shocking upset moments.
But here’s the question:
Can the same story really be played out consecutively?
The answer might not be that simple.
Today’s Argentina is no longer the slow-starting team from back then.
The team is overall younger, with stronger midfield control and improved defensive stability.
In simple terms:
It used to be “Messi leading the team.”
Now it’s more like “the whole team is Messi’s bodyguards.”
Algeria’s biggest weapon is speed and impact.
Once the game turns into an attack-and-counterattack battle, it will become very exciting.
However, in terms of experience and squad depth, Argentina still holds a clear advantage.
The first 30 minutes of the match are expected to be quite tense.
But as the game progresses, the champion’s experience may gradually come to the fore.
Predicted score:
3-1.
The defending champion will secure a smooth opening win without much trouble. #预测世界杯阿根廷vs阿尔及利亚
