Lusail Iconic Stadium will host Friday’s World Cup classic between Netherlands and Argentina. The Oranje made it to the quarter-finals by beating USA 3-1, but it seems as if their results are much better than the performances. Louis van Gaal’s men face an uphill task against La Albiceleste, but they will surely give their best to get their revenge on Leo Messi and Co. for the loss at the 2014 World Cup finals. Van Gaal should have a full squad to choose from.

Meanwhile, Lionel Scaloni’s charges defeated Australia 2-1 in the last 16, with Leo Messi netting his third goal of the tournament. Anyhow, Argentina seem to be more of a team than the Netherlands, and we predict that the favourites are going to prove their worth on the field. Lautaro Martinez is pushing for a start, as well as Angel Di Maria, who has recovered in time to face the Oranje. Papu Gomez should miss out with injury.

Prediction
Statistics predict a full time result of 0:1. The winner is likely to be Argentina. The Analysis suggest Under 2.5 goals in this match. And a No for both teams to score.

卢塞尔标志性体育场将于周五举行荷兰和阿根廷之间的世界杯经典比赛。橙衣军团以3-1击败美国队进入四分之一决赛，但看起来他们的结果比表现要好得多。范加尔的球队在对阵蓝白军团的比赛中面临着艰巨的任务，但他们肯定会全力以赴，为2014年世界杯决赛失利向梅西和他的球队复仇。范加尔应该有一个完整的阵容可供选择。

与此同时，莱昂内尔·斯卡罗尼的球队在16强赛中以2-1击败了澳大利亚队，里奥·梅西打入了他在本届杯赛中的第三粒进球。无论如何，阿根廷似乎比荷兰更像一支球队，我们预测这支热门球队将在球场上证明自己的价值。劳塔罗·马丁内斯正在争取首发机会，迪玛利亚也已经及时恢复，将在对阵橙色军团的比赛中复出。帕普·戈麦斯将因伤缺席比赛。

预测
统计数据预测整个时间的结果为0:1。赢家很可能是阿根廷。分析认为，本场比赛进球数不超过2.5球。两队都不能得分。
