La Albiceleste are sitting joint-third in the outright market, with most of the Qatar 2022 spine still picked and the genuine question being how many minutes Lionel Messi can shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The build-up has favoured them. Lionel Scaloni added a 2024 Copa America to the cabinet on home-continent soil and then dominated CONMEBOL qualifying, finishing nine points clear of Ecuador. None of that has settled the squad-renewal conversation, though. The starting eleven that beat France in Qatar is now three-plus years older, and the depth chart is the part of the picture sportsbooks keep returning to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Messi celebrates his 39th birthday during the group stage. Nicolas Otamendi, the long-serving vice-captain, is also winding down internationally. The names being asked to take a heavier share, namely Lautaro Martinez up top, Julian Alvarez floating off him, and Real Madrid&#8217;s teenager Franco Mastantuono in the creative third, have the talent. The international workload is what the market is still working out. The full group-by-group route to North America is laid out on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/ca\/world-cup-2026\/schedule\/\">2026 World Cup schedule<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-argentina-odds-to-win-the-world-cup-2026\">Argentina odds to win the World Cup 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"vcsw-sports-widgets shortcode vcsw-outright-odds\" id=\"outright-odds-1\"><script type=\"application\/json\">{\"sports_type\":\"football\",\"widget_type\":\"outright-odds\",\"show_title\":\"true\",\"competition\":\"667aabbb773e0180d8f74d65\",\"active_market\":\"Outright Winner\",\"items_to_show\":\"10\",\"data_markets\":[{\"_id\":\"Outright Winner\",\"name\":\"Outright Winner\"}]}<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bet365 prices Argentina at +800 to lift the trophy, locked level with Brazil and France and trailing only Spain (+450) and England (+600). At +800 the implied probability lands at 11.11%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That price reads as deliberate rather than enthusiastic. On the supportive side: a manager who has already solved the tournament once, a qualifying campaign that left no doubt, and a tournament-tested core that has held up across two finals runs. Pushing back: a 38-year-old talisman whose minutes will be rationed, untested international depth behind the front three, and the 64-year drought on retaining the trophy that no analyst can airbrush away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It reads, on balance, like a market that has Argentina as a believable winner without quite betting on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-argentina-odds-to-win-group-j\">Argentina odds to win Group J<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Group J pairs Argentina with Austria, Algeria and tournament debutants Jordan. Austria and Algeria both bring established top-flight names into the mix, but the price gulf to Argentina is wide; if there is a market angle to attack here it sits on the second-place line, where Austria are favoured as the realistic challenger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-argentina-stage-of-elimination-odds\">Argentina stage-of-elimination odds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exit-stage board tells the same story. A group-stage exit prices at +1600, longer than outright glory at +800, which is the cleanest tell that sportsbooks see this as a knockout-round team. The most-priced exit is the Round of 16 at +333, with the Round of 32 and quarter-final sitting level at +350 and the semi-final at +400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strip that back and the question the board is putting is straightforward: do Argentina lift it again, or do they bow out somewhere in the deep end of the bracket? Anything earlier than the last 16 would count as the upset of the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th style=\"text-align:left\">Stage of elimination<\/th><th style=\"text-align:left\">Latest odds<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Round of 16<\/td><td>+333<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Quarter-final<\/td><td>+350<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Round of 32<\/td><td>+350<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Semi-final<\/td><td>+400<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Runner-up<\/td><td>+750<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Winner<\/td><td>+800<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Group stage<\/td><td>+1600<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-argentina-world-cup-top-goalscorer-odds\">Argentina World Cup top-goalscorer odds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Messi enters his sixth World Cup at +1200 for the Golden Boot, behind only Kylian Mbappe and Harry Kane in the outright. He already has 13 World Cup goals on his international ledger, seven of them from the Qatar run, and the romance angle on a final tournament keeps the price honest rather than long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Scaloni manages Messi&#8217;s minutes more carefully than he did in Qatar, and the indications from qualifying are that he will, the price to favour is Lautaro Martinez at +1300. Atletico Madrid&#8217;s Julian Alvarez at +3000 is the next layer down, and Enzo Fernandez at +15000 is the long-shot you would only price up for a midfielder catching a tournament-ending purple patch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The full Golden Boot board is broken down on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/ca\/outright-markets\/world-cup-2026-top-goalscorer-betting-odds\/\">World Cup 2026 top-goalscorer odds<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th style=\"text-align:left\">Player<\/th><th style=\"text-align:left\">Latest odds<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Lionel Messi<\/strong><\/td><td>+1200<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Lautaro Martinez<\/strong><\/td><td>+1300<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Julian Alvarez<\/strong><\/td><td>+3000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Enzo Fernandez<\/strong><\/td><td>+15000<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faqs\">Argentina at the 2026 World Cup: FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n<!--WC_COUNTRY_PATH_START-->\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-argentina-world-cup-2026-path\">How Argentina&#8217;s World Cup 2026 went<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th style=\"text-align:left\">Round<\/th><th style=\"text-align:left\">Date<\/th><th style=\"text-align:left\">Opponent<\/th><th style=\"text-align:left\">Result<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Group MD1<\/td><td>2026-06-17<\/td><td>Algeria<\/td><td><strong>W 3-0<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Group MD2<\/td><td>2026-06-22<\/td><td>Austria<\/td><td><strong>W 2-0<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Group MD3<\/td><td>2026-06-28<\/td><td>Jordan<\/td><td><strong>W 3-1<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Round of 32<\/td><td>2026-07-03<\/td><td>Cape Verde<\/td><td><strong>W (after extra time)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Round of 16<\/td><td>2026-07-07<\/td><td>Egypt<\/td><td><strong>W 3-2<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Quarter-final<\/td><td>2026-07-12<\/td><td>Switzerland<\/td><td><strong>W (after extra time)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Semi-final<\/td><td>2026-07-15<\/td><td>England<\/td><td><strong>W 2-1<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Final<\/td><td>2026-07-19<\/td><td>Spain<\/td><td>L (after extra time)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<!--WC_COUNTRY_PATH_END-->\n\n&lt;!&#8211; wp:yoast\/faq-block {&quot;questions&quot;: [{&quot;id&quot;: &quot;faq-question-1778489883225&quot;, &quot;jsonQuestion&quot;: &quot;What group is Argentina in at the 2026 World Cup?&quot;, &quot;jsonAnswer&quot;: &quot;Argentina are in Group C alongside <a href=\"\/ca\/outright-markets\/algeria-world-cup-2026-odds\/\">Algeria<\/a>, <a href=\"\/ca\/outright-markets\/austria-world-cup-2026-odds\/\">Austria<\/a> and <a href=\"\/ca\/outright-markets\/haiti-world-cup-2026-odds\/\">Haiti<\/a>.
