Kansas City Stadium is an open-air venue, with humid conditions, partly sunny skies and a temperature of 29°C (84°F) expected at kick-off.
Argentina advanced to the knockout stages with a perfect record in Group J, beating Algeria 3-0, Austria 2-0 and Jordan 3-1. They then overcame Cape Verde 3-2 after extra time in the Round of 32 following a 1-1 draw at the end of normal time.
Lionel Scaloni's side followed that up with a dramatic 3-2 victory over Egypt at Atlanta Stadium in the Round of 16. Argentina recorded seven shots on target and enjoyed 64% possession, while Cristian Romero, Lionel Messi and Enzo Fernández all got on the scoresheet.
Switzerland finished top of Group B, three points clear of Canada. Murat Yakin's men opened their campaign with a 1-1 draw against Qatar before securing victories over Bosnia and Herzegovina (4-1) and Canada (2-1). The Swiss then defeated Algeria 2-0 in the Round of 32.
A place in the quarter-finals was secured with a penalty shootout victory over Colombia after a goalless draw at BC Place Vancouver in the Round of 16. The Red Crosses enjoyed 53% possession and managed two shots on target during the contest.

Top scorer Lionel Messi has found the net 10 times, with Enzo Fernandez, Lautaro Martinez and Julian Alvarez getting 2 each. Nico Gonzalez and Thiago Almada are top assists makers with 2, while goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has kept 2 clean sheets.

Main Match Prediction
Switzerland have done extremely well to reach the quarter-finals, although they have benefited from a favourable draw and are yet to face elite opposition. Up against the defending world champions, this could be where the Red Crosses' impressive run comes to an end.
Argentina have been one of the standout teams winning four matches in 90 minutes and another in extra time, while scoring 14 goals along the way. With Golden Boot leader Lionel Messi and Lautaro Martínez leading the attack, they possess far greater quality in the final third, while the xG data and key performance metrics also favour Lionel Scaloni's side.
This is often the stage of the tournament when the leading nations begin to assert themselves. Having successfully backed France and Spain to win their quarter-finals, we are siding with another favourite here. Argentina look attractively priced at -147 in the Full-Time Result market and should have enough to overcome Switzerland inside 90 minutes.
