NIGERIA
Team Nigeria is not so successfully started at the current world forum. His first match, Nigerians deservedly lost to Croatia with a score of 0: 2 and were immediately credited as one of the main losers of the championship. The fact that this is not so, showed the second match wards Guernot Ror. And if you look at the statistics of the attack of Nigerians in the match with the Croats, then it is quite good. Nigeria dealt 14 blows, Croats - eleven. Europeans scored from the penalty spot, and the second - an own goal. In the match with Iceland, Rora wards competently played on the defensive and used their capabilities on counterattacks. As a result, the victory over the Icelanders 2-0 gave the Africans a chance to enter the next round.
Because of the injury, only Moses Simon will not play.

ARGENTINA
Team Argentina in their game in both first matches frankly disappointed. First, Jorge Sampaoli's wards did not keep the victory in the duel with Iceland - a draw 1: 1, and then were completely defeated by Croatia with a score of 0: 3. Note that the defense in these matches played not the best way, and the attack and did look dull. Messybyl is tightly closed, Aguero did not fit into team actions, abusing an individual game. Paulo Dibala and Higuain in the starting lineups in these games did not appear at all.

Forecast
Argentina needs in this fight only a victory, and preferably with a large score. Otherwise, one of the favorites of the entire World Cup 2018 will go home after the group stage.

NIGERIA
The Nigerian team unsuccessfully held the first fight with Croatia, losing to the opponent 0: 2, but more importantly - the Nigerians did not show high-quality football. Ogonekaro's own goal of Etobe was a reflection of the game of the Nigerian national team in the first half. In the second half of the meeting, the Croats doubled the advantage, leaving not much chance for the Nigerians to leave the group.
In the second duel with Iceland, Nigeria appeared in a completely different form - the team clearly understood how to act, competently defended and used its main trump card - speed. Thanks to the rapid breakthrough Ahmed Musa, Nigeria scored two goals, not conceding a single one.

ARGENTINA
Argentina at the current "mundiale" frankly disappointing. In the first duel with Iceland, the star attack "albiseleste" did not know what to do with the three lines of defense of the opponent. I managed to open it once, but the answer was very quick - Iceland realized its moment and created several more. In the second half, Lionel Messi did not realize a penalty, and the partners frankly screwed up several scoring chances. The match ended in a draw 1: 1, and Iceland's team liked many more.
In the second match, Argentina and did lost. The first time with Croatia was in equal fight, but in the second goalkeeper of the national team of Argentina, Villi Caballero made a mistake, which became scoring. After that, the game of the team of Jorge Sampaoli disintegrated, and Croatia scored two more times. In an interview after the match, Sampaoli admitted that he was wrong with both the game plan and the choice of the basic

STATISTICS
The last time the teams met in a friendly match in 2017, then Nigeria won 4: 2
The teams met in the same group at the last World Championship, then the Argentina national team won 1: 0
Nigeria was able to win only one mast from the last seven, lost five times and one match ended in a draw
Forecast
Team Argentina still has a chance to compete for the playoffs. Team Sampaoli only needs victory in his mast and loss of points in Iceland in a duel with the Croats. The situation is not the most optimistic, but for such an "albiselest" should be grateful to the fate and Ahmed Musa, who scored his goals from Iceland. Nigeria also claims to withdraw from the group, but in its current state the team is hardly capable of delivering problems even to a crisis Argentina.
In our opinion, Argentina does not miss its chance today. Forecast for the duel - Asian odds (-1) for the national team of Argentina. In 1xStack such an outcome is proposed with a coefficient of 2.00.

Nigeria
Team Nigeria started the World Cup unsuccessfully, but lost, as it turned out, the strongest team of Group D - Croatia. The Nigerians lost with a score of 0: 2, conceding from the penalty spot and after an own goal.
However, already in the second round, Nigeria regained a good chance of reaching the playoffs, defeating Iceland 2-0. Nigerians worked well in counterplay, and Ahmed Musa designed a double - 2: 0.
Now everything in the hands of Nigeria - the victory of inspired "superorlov" over Argentina, which is in disassembled condition, will lead Africans into the playoffs. Draw will also leave good chances - Iceland needs not just to win, but also to score a lot in the gates of Croatia.

Argentina
Argentina is a step away from the disgraceful departure from the World Cup. The unconvincing game and draw with Iceland (1: 1) and the frank failure in the match against Croatia (0: 3) put the Argentines in a situation where it does not depend on them anymore. Even a victory can not guarantee Argentina an exit in the playoffs, then everything will depend on the result of the parallel match. Well, a draw in the match against Nigeria will send the Argentines home.

Argentina is in a terrible state, and it's not just a bad game on the football field - the team is torn apart by internal conflicts. Now, "Albiseleste" must postpone all the showdown for later and get ready for the decisive match.
Personal motivation for the game will be and Leo Messi, who has not yet managed to excel in this World Cup. And if in the first match he did not realize a penalty, then in the second game he rarely met the ball and did not even have a chance to excel.

Forecast
On the triumph of Nigeria in this match, bookmakers give a coefficient of 9.25. At the same time, the coefficient for a draw is 5.25, and Argentina's victory is 1.35.
Argentina from the first minute should rush to attack and try not just to win, but also to score in this match as much as possible. In this situation, Nigeria will have excellent chances for counterattacks in the course of the meeting. We can assume that, given the unconvincing defense game of the Argentine national team, at least one of its chances will be realized by the Nigerians, but they will not be able to keep their own gates dry either.
Also note that in the last four meetings of these teams against each other, at least four goals were scored, and it was possible to differ both teams.
We propose to put on the fact that both teams will score goals with a coefficient of 1.9.
