📊 AI-generated recap and structured data

Argentina defeated Austria 2-0 in World Cup 2026 qualifying. Our model backed an Argentina win at 42 percent probability, and the pick landed. Argentina's recent form showed two wins in five matches with no draws or losses, while Austria had managed just one draw and one loss across the same span.
