Argentina may have already qualified but there is still plenty to play for in this game. Argentina will be looking to avoid defeat so that they can top the group, and avoid a potentially tricky game against France in the last 16 and then Germany in the quarter finals, which is what could potentially await the team that finished second in Group F.

If Argentina win this game then they would play either Switzerland or Ecuador in the next round.

Argentina coach Sabella will be hoping that star player Lionel Messi can continue his recent good form for the national side, especially coming off the back of the spectacular winner he scored in the previous game against Iran.

Nigeria are set to name an unchanged team with Joseph Yobo set to win his 100th cap for the Super Eagles.

4-3-3 again and same lineup of players. In addition to not wanting to face France, I suspect Sabella would like to see if he can work the bugs out of his best eleven. It'll be interesting to see if Higuain and Aguero can show some life this time out.
