Godfrey Oboabona limped off in the match against Iran with an ankle problem and he is unlikely to play here so Nigeria are expected to name the same starting XI that beat Bosnia. Michael Babatunde was back in full training at the weekend after being substituted due to injury and should be fit to keep his place.Up in the front, Keshi will surely rely on the powerful and quick movements of Moses, Odemwingie, and Emenike.
Argentina are already assured of making the knockout rounds and as long as they avoid defeat here they will finish top of this group. They beat Bosnia 2-1 in their opening game and then recorded a narrow 1-0 win over Iran. Lionel Messi again overshadowed a poor performance from his team with an amazing goal.
With the 4-3-3 formation back in the picture, Sabella will likely freshen up his starting XI. So Lavezzi, Palacios, Demichelis, Biglia, M. Rodriguez, Alvarez Campagnaro, and perhaps even Basanta, could found themselves in the starting lineup.
Argentina have looked short on creativity in the World Cup so far, which is ridiculous for a team of their talents. They've scored through an own goal and two brilliant solo efforts from Messi. Nigeria have kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 7 matches so we expect a low scoring game and, maybe, a surprising draw.
Nigeria (4-2-3-1): Enyeama – Ambrose, Yobo, Omeruo, Oshaniwa – Onazi, Mikel – Odemwingie, Babatunde, Musa – Emenike
Argentina (4-3-3): Romero – Campagnaro, Demichelis, Basanta, Zabaleta – Biglia, Alvarez, M. Rodriguez – Lavezzi, Messi, Palacio
