Julian Alvarez will hope he's done enough to keep his place in the Argentina side as they face the Netherlands in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

Lautaro Martinez came on against the Socceroos and missed a host of late chances, with that cameo unlikely to win him his place back. Angel Di Maria missed the last-16 but that was believed to just be a precaution, and he could well return to face the Netherlands with Papu Gomez, who sprained his ankle against Australia, probably the one to drop out.

It does seem possible that these teams could find the back of the net, but their last two competitive meetings — at the 2006 and 2014 World Cups — both ended in scoreless draws. After halftime, however, they explode to life in front of goal, The Netherlands, meanwhile, have a high disparity, putting together 1.36 xG and 1.12 xGA in the opening 45 minutes but jumping to 2.7 xG and 3.08 xGA after the break. That's exactly what Netherlands do: excel at snatching their opportunities. Argentina were stunned in the group stage by Saudi Arabia, who bagged two goals on just three total shots worth a measly 0.15 xG. - Of their nine all-time meetings, Argentina have only won once, coming via a 3-1 win at the 1978 World Cup. - The Netherlands are unbeaten in 19 matches, spanning the entirety of Louis van Gaal's current stint as manager. They were eliminated from the 2014 World Cup on penalties by Argentina after a 0-0 draw. Nathan Ake, Frenkie de Jong, Matthijs de Ligt, and Teun Koopmeiners are all sitting on yellow cards and would be suspended for a match with another.

The Oranjes are unbeaten since Van Gaal was appointed as the new boss and will be eager to maintain that record against a familiar foe on Friday. As for The Netherlands, This is Van Gaal's third spell with the national side. Argentina have won one, which came in the 1978 World Cup final.

You can play our Opta Challenge game for each of these for a chance to win $500. Alvarez has scored in each of his two World Cup starts for the South Americans. The team news will be revealing as to how Scaloni will look to play tactically. He netted the opener against USA, setting the tone for what was a solid performance, and looks like a real threat up front with Cody Gakpo. If he starts and scores in this match, at 22 years and 312 days of age, he’d be the youngest to score in his first three World Cup starts since Peru’s Teofilo Cubillas in 1970 (21y 94d). Of course, there are three other ties to be played in this knockout round of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. I have a lot of respect for Messi, who, like Cristiano Ronaldo, has been among the best in football for so long. He deserves special attention but they also have Julian Alvarez, he has a bright future ahead of him at Manchester City and Argentina. If Scaloni opts for a three-man defence, then Lisandro Martinez will be included at the expense of Papu Gomez. “It’s a great challenge to play against him. Messi is Argentina’s top goalscorer at Qatar 2022 with three strikes, and gave a virtuoso display as the Albiceleste edged out Australia 2-1 on Saturday.

These two teams met in the 2014 World Cup semifinal and served up a 0-0 draw (with Argentina progressing on penalties). Argentina is favored to win on Friday, with the Messi factor at the heart of those odds. The Inter Milan man’s raids down the right wing give the Netherlands another dimension and his battle with Marcos Acuña could be decisive. That’s where Denzel Dumfries stands out as a real X-factor for the Oranje and perhaps their best reason to like the Over. The Netherlands and Argentina have consistently shown a cutting edge and sharp finishing in Qatar, with depth off the bench to turn the tide. The collective attacking firepower makes the Over a tempting option. The attacking quality on show speaks for itself, from Messi and Julian Alvarez to Memphis Depay and Cody Gakpo. With three goals each, Messi and Gakpo are on the heels of Golden Boot leader Kylian Mbappe. The Netherlands’ game plan should be very different. Argentina are three wins away from a fairytale ending to the Lionel Messi era. An illness struck van Gaal’s squad prior to that win – but there should be no lingering effects here. No ten-man defensive shells; no long balls to an isolated lone striker.
