Will Argentina succeed in bagging all nine points in the group stage. Check out early predictions of the Nigeria Vs Argentina results.
For many Argentina is one of the forerunners of the FIFA World Cup 2014. Unfortunately, they haven't been playing like champions, even though the team managed to win both its group stage matches so for. In its first match against Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Argentina team was expected to completely erase the competitor but that was far from what happened. Argentina won the match with a 2-1 score. Lionel Messi's extra time goal against Iran just prevented a draw between the countries in its second match.
Nigeria has been one of the biggest surprises in the tournament with a draw against Iran and a victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina. Nigeria got 13 of its 20 shots on goal and scored its first goal of the tournament in the 1-0 win, to put the country in great shape heading into this match. However, Nigeria will have to find the net more than once in this match if they have any chance of upsetting Argentina and its potent attack. Coach Stephen Keshi is known for running an aggressive team full of guys who won't back down, but players such as Victor Moses are due for an international goal.
These two teams have played 6 times against each other before. One ended in a draw. Argentina won 4 and Nigeria 1. There were 14 goals scored. Nigeria scored 6 and Argentina 8, according to an IB Times report.
Early predictions - Argentina will win 3-1 with Messi scoring two of those goals. A loss for Nigeria also increases Iran's chances of moving into the next round of the tournament, provided they win against Bosnia with three or more goals.
