Netherlands vs. Argentina is scheduled for kick-off at 7:00 PM GMT on Friday, December 9, 2022. The match will take place at the Lusail Iconic Stadium in Qatar. Broadcast in the UK, the match will be broadcast free-to-air and also live on BBC One, with coverage starting at 6.15pm. It looks like Louis van Gaal is largely settled, now that Memphis Depay is fit and firing. Davy Klaasen and Maarten de Roon have started the last two games in central midfield after issues in that department. Argentina will focus on getting Angel Di Maria fit after he missed the win over Australia in the coming days.Lionel Scaloni will be happy to have the experienced winger back to replace Papu Gomez and complete their attack, with Julian Alvarez set to join Messi to retain his place in the XI. However, a move for three central defenders in the second half of the last-16 clash could be something the Argentina boss will want to stick to in this one from the start.
Netherlands Won: 4, Draw: 2, Argentina Won: 3
In the quarter-finals, the Netherlands has the upper hand because in the matches between the Netherlands and Argentina so far, the Netherlands has won more matches over Argentina, but having full faith in Argentina’s strong player, got a good chance to win this quarter-final. But underestimating the Netherlands would also be a difficult task as both the defenders are in excellent form. There is going to be a nail-biting clash which will be very exciting.
