Team News
Di Maria is a doubt for Argentina as he suffered a hip injury and could be restricted to the bench. The Socceroos have no such issues to deal with ahead of this mega-contest.
Argentina possible 11:
Martinez, Molina, Romero, Otamendi, Tagliafico, De Paul, Fernandez, Allister, Messi, Martinez and Alvarez
Australia possible 11:
Ryan, Behich, Rowles, Souttar, Degenek, Leckie, Mooy, Irvine, Goodwin, McGree and Duke
Prediction: Argentina 2-1 Australia
Australia is the side under pressure as they sneaked through to Round of 16. There is a difference in experience, quality between the two sides with Argentina having the ace.
The Socceroos will try their level best but this could be too much to ask from them and La Albiceleste should win.
Players to watch out for: Messi, Alvarez, Duke and Goodwin.
