Argentina need a result when they host current group leaders Croatia on Thursday evening.
Lionel Messi endured a nightmare in his nations opener, missing a penalty in a 1-1 draw with Iceland.
Sergio Aguero opened the scoring, however the smallest nation at the tournament earned a point through a Alfred Finnbogasson equaliser.
Croatia started with a comfortable victory over Nigeria, with Luka Modric’s penalty sealing a 2-0 victory.
Nigeria offered little, however were unlucky to go in at the break a goal down, following an unfortunate Oghenekaro Etebo own goal.
The two nations have met four times previously, although just once at a World Cup. Croatia lost the group stage fixture 1-0, however went onto finish third at the 1998 World Cup.
