Argentina will continue the defence of their World Cup crown on Tuesday when they take on Egypt in the last 16 at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
Lionel Scaloni's side have won all four games so far, although they were pushed all the way by Cape Verde in the last 32 in a 3-2 victory in extra-time.
Before that, Argentina had beaten Algeria 3-0, Austria 2-0 and Jordan 3-1 and they are the heavy favourites to win on Tuesday.
Egypt have won just one game inside 90 minutes at the tournament, but they are still unbeaten and will look to spring another surprise.

Argentina v Egypt Prediction
Best Bet: Argentina to win and both teams to score @ 3/1
Argentina have found the net 11 times at this World Cup, with only Norway and France having scored more goals.
The defending champions have been helped by the brilliance of Lionel Messi in his quest for the Golden Boot, with the veteran scoring seven goals in four matches.
Argentina barely had to break sweat in the group stages after three successive wins, but they were given a wake-up call by Cape Verde, who took them to extra-time in the last 32.
After eventually coming through that match, Argentina will hope to outclass Egypt and the signs ahead of kick-off are positive.
Egypt have struggled to win so far, with Mohamed Salah and co only winning once inside 90 minutes.
They have scored in every World Cup match so far, though, and after scoring in six consecutive games, they will expect to net against an Argentina side that have conceded three in their last two outings.
Across the park, though, Argentina are better in all departments and they should learn from their scare against Cape Verde.
Alternative Bet: Half-time result - Draw @ 13/10
While Argentina should be able to come out on top, it may take them a while to unsettle Egypt.
The Pharaohs have trailed at half-time just once in the tournament and they have been tough to break down inside the opening 45 minutes.
Hossam Hassan's side have conceded only three first-half goals in their last 10 games in all competitions and with so much at stake, Argentina may need to wait until the second-half before they take control.
Argentina v Egypt Bet Builder Tip
Lionel Messi anytime goalscorer
Lautaro Martinez 2+ fouls committed
Mohamed Salah 1+ shots on target
Pays 5/1
Even at the age of 39, Messi continues to dazzle at the World Cup and his form in front of goal looks like it will not slow down.
Messi has had 24 shots, with 15 hitting the target and seven ending up in the net. As Argentina's main set-piece taker, he looks good value to score any time.
Team-mate Lautaro Martinez leads the fouls committed count for Argentina, having made seven in 243 minutes of football. He will be tasked with leading Argentina's pressing and may overstep the mark as he has done in recent games.
Egypt's charge will be led by Salah, who will look to shoot on sight to try and guide his team to glory. The former Liverpool ace has registered four shots on target from nine attempts and Argentina's recent defensive display suggests he will get some joy in the final third.
