Possible Lineups: Netherlands vs Argentina, Time: 21.00 BST Venue: Arena de Sao Paulo Referee: Cuneyt Cakir (Turkey)

Netherlands will battle Argentina tonight in the second Semi Final of the World Cup. The winner will face Germany who beat the host nation Brazil by seven goals to one last night.

Time: 21.00 BST
Venue: Arena de Sao Paulo
Referee: Cuneyt Cakir (Turkey)

STATS:
  • Both the sides are unbeaten in their last five games.
  • Argentina’s last victory against Netherlands was in 1979.
  • Netherlands are unbeaten in their last 30 World Cup games.
TEAM NEWS:
Jasper Cillesen will still start once again instead of last match hero Tim Krul who saved vital penalties to help Netherlands to reach the Semi Final. But striker Robin van Persie is a doubt as he missed yesterday’s training due to stomach problems.

For Argentina, Angel Di Maria won't feature due to a thigh injury which he suffered against Belgium. While Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero might be available but Gonzalo Higuain is likely to be in the starting eleven.
