Lionel Messi and his sky blue brigade will be looking to squeeze every bit of juice they can from the Oranje when they take on skipper Virgil van Dijk’s The Netherlands at the Lusail Stadium on Friday.

The two teams have met five times at the World Cup previously with the 1978 final, which Argentina won 3-1, being their most famous meeting. The South American giants also emerged victors when the two teams last met—at the 2014 semi-finals—winning 4-2 on penalties. However, both teams have been on a terrific run this time round. While The Netherlands are unbeaten in their last 19 international matches (won 14 and drew five), Argentina have lost just once—against Saudi Arabia at this edition—in their last 40 international matches (won 28 and drew 11).
