The Netherlands have found themselves within the quarter-finals of the World Cup after showing their class against team USA. This weekend they’ll be looking to make another statement against Argentina and potentially ending Lionel Messi’s dream of winning the World Cup. Argentina played nervously to end their round of 16 tie against Australia but were able to dig deep and take a 2-1 victory. The Netherlands are a step up in terms of opposition and this clash will be a closely fought game and Argentina will rely heavily on a touch of Lionel Messi magic. However, Van Gaal is a master in football tactics and has proudly witnessed his side make it to the quarter finals of the tournament. It remains to be seen on how he will decide to combat the Argentinian side.

Although the team in orange claimed a 3-1 victory over the USA, don’t take this for granted as it wasn’t exactly an easy defeat. The USA were arguably the better team for periods of the match but were outworked. All the USA needed was a better center-forward and perhaps they would have found a different result but for the Netherlands, there’s no looking back. The European team were efficient in their play and got the goals they needed to secure themselves a quarter-final spot.

Despite having one of the best center halves in the world in a certain Virgil Van Dijk, there might be some defensive concerns. The Dutch team have offered their opponents easy chances for opportunities so this is something that Van Gaal will look forward to rectifying quickly, especially when Messi and his colleagues come to attack. Argentina though haven’t been all that great themselves when it comes to defense and they have exhibited some carelessness earlier on. They were the better team when they faced Australia but they still conceded and a last minute save from Martinez prevented the game from going into extra time. Be sure to have a look and compare the Best Soccer Odds before placing any bets!

It’s obviously clear that both sides will focus and play with an attacking state of mind, and similarly both look like they might struggle at the back. Therefore this game will be a race as to who can score the most goals so your safest bet will be for Both Teams To Score however, my 90 minute prediction is a 1-1, 90 minute draw. Who’ll carry on from there is anyone’s guess but be sure you’re in for an entertaining match of football.
