FIFA World Cup – 1/8 final: France vs. Argentina
The 1/8 final of FIFA World Cup will be held between France and Argentina at Kazan Arena this evening. Argentina have won their last 4 matches against France in all competitions. France have kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 7 matches (FIFA World Cup).
France played out the first 0-0 draw of the World Cup when they met Denmark on Tuesday, and a much-changed side will hope to make a better impact against Argentina. Les Bleus are yet to really hit top gear in Russia and need to up their game in order to progress past Argentina.
According to www.whoscored.com, it took a late Marcos Rojo goal for Argentina to secure their spot in the last-16 stage of the World Cup as they overcame Nigeria 2-1. Like France, La Albiceleste have yet to kick it up a notch and France will be no pushovers in this knockout stage tie.
France haven’t been at their best in Russia, but they have the means to send Argentina home this weekend.
