Lionel Messi's men were eliminated in the Round of 16 last time after losing the final to Germany in 2014. This time, they had a disastrous start to the FIFA World Cup 2022, losing 1-2 to Saudi Arabia in their first match. Louis van Gaal's men, on the other hand, have gone undefeated in this tournament.
Argentina has recovered from its shock defeat to Saudi Arabia in the opening game of the competition by defeating Mexico, Poland, and Australia since then.
The Netherlands, on the other hand, is unbeaten so far and defeated the United States in the previous round. Despite their underdog status, Memphis Depay, Cody Gakpo, Virgil van Dijk, and Frenkie de Jong are capable of upsetting the Albiceleste.
Netherlands: Noppert, Timber, Van Dijk, Ake, Dumfries, De Jong, De Roon, Blind, Klaassen, Gakpo, Depay
Argentina: Martinez, Molina, Romero, Otamendi, Acuna, Fernandez, De Paul, Mac Allister, Di Maria, Messi, Alvarez
The Netherlands and Argentina will play a hard-fought game. Messi's team will eventually take the lead and win 2-1 to advance to the semi-finals.
The Netherlands vs Argentina match will be played on 10 December at 12:30 am IST in the Lusail Iconic Stadium, Lusail.
