MATCH PREVIEW:
Spain come into this clash on the back of an important 1-0 win over Australia last Sunday with Oyarzabal netting the winner nine minutes from time.
The Spanish side are table toppers of Group C having accumulated 4 points from 2 matches and will look to seal their spot in the knockouts with another good performance vs Argentina.
On the other hand, Argentina is placed 3rd in the group with 3 points to their name. La Albiceleste secured a much needed 1-0 win against Egypt in their last match.
Medina’s second half goal helped Argentina to their first win of the competition and will need to put in another good shift if they are to progress to the knockouts.
This group is on a knife-edge with every team still having a shot at qualifying for the knockouts.
Hence, this contest is expected to be fierce and on the edge.
Line-ups
Spain:
Simon, Gil, Garcia, Torres, Cucurella, Asensio, Merino, Pedri, Olmo, Oyarzabal and Gil.
Argentina:
Ledesma, de la Fuente, Perez, Medina, Bravo, Belmonte, Vera, Mac Allister, de la Vega, Gaich and Barco.
Prediction: Spain 1-1 Argentina
This clash is expected to go down to the wire with both teams having a shot at the knockouts.
The Spanish side has a number of Euro 2020 players in their squad who will look to bring in their A-game coupled with experience.
Argentina too has a point to prove after their win last time out and put in their best foot forward.
A draw is the most likely result.
