The two teams have faced each other four times, most recently in 2012, a 0–0 draw in a friendly game.

In one of the greatest upsets in World Cup history, Saudi Arabia defeated Argentina and ended their 36-match unbeaten streak.[4] This was also the second consecutive time in which Argentina do not win their opening match at a World Cup, after drawing 1–1 with Iceland in 2018.
