Argentina are all set to take on Cape Verde in an ultimate David vs Goliath clash as Lionel Messi's team aim to reach the Round of 16

Cape Verde has become everyone's favorite underdog after coming through a group with Spain, Uruguay and Saudi Arabia without losing. They defend with tremendous discipline, rarely get stretched and are comfortable spending long periods without the ball. Deroy Duarte has been outstanding in midfield, while Ryan Mendes continues to be the outlet whenever they win possession. Vozinha is going to have to make at least two big saves to keep Cape Verde in it.

Argentina has looked every bit like a defending champion. Lionel Messi already has six goals despite being rested for part of the final group game, and Lionel Scaloni has been able to rotate without the team losing rhythm. Argentina relies on quick, sharp ball movement designed to get Messi the ball at the right moment. Expect McAllister and Enzo Fernandez to be very involved.
