lekhaka-Sudip banerjee

Two
giants
of
world
football
Argentina
and
the
Netherlands
will
lock
horns
against
each
other
at
the
Lusail
Stadium
on
Friday,
9th
December
(Saturday,
10th
December
in
India)
in
the
second
quarter-final
game
of
the
2022
FIFA
World
Cup.
The
winner
will
be
up
against
either
Brazil
or
Croatia
in
the
semi-final.

Argentina
defeated
Australia
2-1
in
the
round
of
16
but
did
not
look
at
their
absolute
best.
They
must
pick
up
their
game
if
they
have
to
salvage
anything
against
the
Netherlands
who
looked
excellent
against
the
United
States
defeating
them
3-1
in
the
Round
of
16.

Louis
van
Gaal’s
side
are
in
transition
and
will
head
to
the
quarter-finals
as
underdogs
and
could
very
well
come
up
with
an
upset
against
the
South
American
champions.
Netherlands
are
undefeated
in
their
last
18
matches
in
the
FIFA
World
Cup.
The
two
sides
have
met
five
times
prior
at
the
World
Cup,
including
as
recently
as
2014,
when
Argentina
won
on
penalties
in
the
semi-finals.
That
game
ended
0-0
in
normal
time
and
we
could
potentially
see
another
close
game
this
time
around
and
it
may
take
penalties
again
to
settle
this
one.

Here
we
take
a
look
at
the
possible
line-ups,

Netherlands
vs
Argentina
Key
players
to
watch
out:

Netherlands:
Cody
Gakpo
has
been
the
star
of
the
show
for
the
Netherlands
in
the
World
Cup
so
far.
The
PSV
Eindhoven
star
will
be
looking
to
punish
the
Argentine
backline
with
his
all-round
attacking
display.

Argentina:
Even
at
the
age
of
35,
Lionel
Messi
remains
the
key
player
for
Argentina.
He
is
the
lynchpin
of
Lionel
Scaloni’s
side
and
the
Netherlands
must
keep
a
close
watch
on
him.

Netherlands
vs
Argentina
prediction:
This
has
the
potential
to
be
a
very
close
game.
We
predict
a
1-1
draw
after
extra-time
with
the
Netherlands
winning
the
penalty
shootout.
