Argentina hasn’t been able to build up their charm this World Cup season. Their match against Nigeria will determine whether they will be able to qualify for the knockout stages or not. Whereas if Nigeria wins, it secures their progression to the next stage. In the last seven World Cups, these two teams have come face-to-face five times.
Argentina strongly hopes that luck be on their side, as they have been backed into a corner after dropping points in their first two games. This match against Nigeria is their last island of comfort as Argentina has won four times during the two teams past five encounters. Nigeria on the other hand will arrive, intent on getting that persistent monkey off their back, as a win would guarantee their spot in the last 16 for a fourth time.
Changes in the line-up are probable after their fallout, while Ahmed Musa will be pushing for a starting berth after his two-goal showing against the debutants.
