Although Argentina has already booked their place in the Round of 16 but they will be hoping to keep their great run of form and confidence going into the kncokout stages. While Greece will be playing this tie as a knockout itself, they have a chance to go through to the next round if they can beat Argentina and South korea drop points in their group B game against struggling Nigeria. So this game is anything but a dead rubber you can expect some real fireworks in the game.

Maradona might rest some of his big name players and will field Malito or Palermo in the attack instead of Messi and Higuain. Greece on the other hand will try to put their strongest 11 so that they can cope with the attacking poweres if Argentina.
