Stadium: Saint Petersburg Stadium (Saint Petersburg)
Date: 26/06/18
Time: 19:00 (W.A.T)
Head 2 Head:
These sides have met eight times, with four occurring in the World Cup finals, Argentina winning all four.
How is Argentina shaping up?
After getting only 1 point in their last 2 group matches, Argentina would need a win against Nigeria and hope for Croatia to win or draw against Iceland in order for them to progress to the first knockout round.
Danger man: Lionel Messi, although he’s having a rough patch, Argentina would need him more than ever to repeat his performance that brought them to the World Cup.
How is Nigeria shaping up?
After getting 3 points in their last match, which took them up to 2nd on the table, their best option would be a win against Argentina so they won’t rely on results from the other match.
Danger man: Ahmed Musa, a good performance against Iceland, and a good performance against Argentina last world cup, his team mates would rely on his speed and dribbling abilities if they’re going to win Argentina.
FOOTY-TRAIN PREDICTION
