World champions Argentina are set to face the surprising Cape Verde in one of the most anticipated Round of 16 clashes at the 2026 World Cup.
The Hard Rock Stadium in Miami will host the encounter, kicking off at 1:00 AM Bulgarian time. This match, along with all 104 games from the World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico, can be watched live on bnt.sportal.bg.
Argentina's head coach, Lionel Scaloni, has opted to field the exact same starting lineup that secured victory against Austria in their second group stage match. This decision was somewhat expected, given that nine of the starters from that game were rested for the final group fixture against Jordan, ensuring the "Albiceleste" players are fresh and ready.
For Cape Verde, the legendary Vozinha once again starts between the posts. His stellar performances in the group stage frustrated former world champions Uruguay and Spain.
