Vs

Argentina are expected to revert to a 4-3-3 formation, with striker Gonzalo Higuain in line to be recalled to the starting line-up.

Fernando Gago is also likely to start, with Maxi Rodriguez and Hugo Campagnaro set to drop to the substitutes' bench.

Javier Mascherano will win his 100th cap, becoming the fourth Argentine to reach the landmark.

Iran could name the same team which drew with Nigeria, with Charlton's Reza Ghoochannejhad their lone striker.

I'll be cheerin' for the Iranian lads, even though they're gonna get mullah'd.

Queiroz will have them park the bus as usual as they look to score an upset via a draw...However, not sure they will be able to withstand Sabella's shift back to a 4-3-3 with Gonzo, Leo & Kun leading the attack

How many times need a Argentinian have to roll to get a yellow card?
It is shameful to look at when they fall
