Netherlands vs Argentina Quarter Final Match Time

The Netherlands Squad and Line-up against Argentina for the Quarter Final

The Netherlands is predicted to play in a 3-4-1-2 formation against Argentina in their next match.

The Netherlands team has a perfect squad and a team which have the ability to dive deep into the tournament. They proved to have perfect players in every position in the squad. The Dutch defenders are the orange wall against opponents which seems difficult to fall against big teams in international tournaments. Captain Van Dijk, Timber, and Ake proved their efficiency in defending in their previous matches. That’s the reason these players play for big clubs in Europe. While Denzel Dumfries and Delay Blind showed why the Dutch midfield is incomplete without them on the ground, and they have the special ability to score goals for their team as they scored against the USA.

Gapko has continuously scored goals for the Dutch in the first 3 matches in this world cup group stage while Depay scored his first goal against the USA. So these Dutch players are confident and experienced and can face any team and have the ability to change any situation at any stage.

Argentina Squad and Line-up against the Netherlands for the Quarter Final

Argentina is predicted to play in a 4-3-3 formation as we have seen them playing in many matches.

Argentina is the strongest challenger to win this world cup, they have everything they a team needs to win a tournament. Argentina has many options for every position and you can see opening players and main strikers of big clubs sitting on Argentina’s bench. The world was surprised to see Di Maria sitting on Argentina’s Bench in a knockout match against Australia and Papu Gomez taking his position as a striker.

Scaloni has many choices for his upcoming matches but I think Scaloni should not do any experiments in further matches. Argentina should start with Di Maria and should utilize his experience to win further matches which won’t be easy for the team to win.

The below line-up seems to be perfect for the Argentine team for knockouts against big teams.

Predicted Line-up for Argentina against Netherlands in Quarter Finals

Goalkeepers: Emiliano Martinez

Defenders: Cristian Romero, Nicolas Otamendi, Lisandro Martinez, Leandro Paredes

Midfielders: Rodrigo De Paul, Alexis Mac Allister, Enzo Fernandez

Forwards: Lionel Messi, Angel Di Maria, Julian Alvarez

Netherlands vs Argentina Head-to-head

Though we can see from the stats above that the Netherlands has won more matches against Argentina but what will happen in the FIFA world cup 2022 is important for us. The Argentine team is different now and they are one of the best in the world when we talk about football.

Netherlands vs Argentina Quarter-Final Match Prediction

The Netherlands are undefeated while Argentina just lost their 36-match winning streak in group stages against Saudi Arabia. Both teams are perfect but I will choose Argentina in their battle. Not because of Lionel Messi as people do nowadays but because of the playing style of the complete Argentine team they have the ability, experience, pace, and everything you need to win against any team in football. The Netherlands team is good but they did not perform as expected in their recent matches, they did not lose any match in the tournament but they lack the charm that a team needs to win the world cup.

Argentina will move further in Semi-finals and the Netherlands may go home but let’s see what happens this is just a prediction, not a prophecy.
