Netherlands-Argentina, the probable formations

Likely lineups

The second match of the World Cup quarterfinal program in Qatar features the big match between the Netherlands and Argentina, scheduled for 8 p.m. Italian time at the Iconic Stadium in Lusail.

The Oranje easily overcame the United States in the round of 16 dragged by a super Dumfries, author of a goal and two assists. The Albiceleste relied once again on its captain Lionel Messi to defeat Australia and fly to the quarters.

Van Gaal is expected to confirm the 3-4-2-1 that beat the United States. In defense there will still be Timber with Van Dijk and Aké, confirmed outfielders Dumfries and Blind, both in goal in the last game. In attack trust Depay with Gakpo at his side.

Scaloni recovers Di Maria for the match with the Dutch. The Fideo will act in the offensive trident completed by Messi and Julian Alvarez, once again preferred over Lautaro Martinez. De Paul should make it in midfield, with him Enzo Fernandez and Mac Allister. On the flanks in Molina and Acuna.
