Team News: No changes for Argentina, Nigeria

No changes for Argentina, Nigeria

Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella has stuck with the same starting XI for this evening's World Cup encounter with Nigeria.

The South Americans, who defeated Iran 1-0 in their last match, have Sergio Aguero, Lionel Messi and Gonzalo Higuain leading their attack.

Javier Mascherano, Angel di Maria and Pablo Zabaleta are also among the players who keep their places in the side.

Meanwhile, Nigeria have followed suit and named the same lineup that beat Bosnia-Herzegovina last week.

The Africans must avoid defeat tonight if they want to join their opponents in the last 16 of the tournament.

Nigeria: Enyeama, Ambrose, Yobo, Omeruo, Oshaniwa, Musa, Mikel, Onazi, Babatunde, Emenike, Odemwingie

Argentina: Romero, Zabaleta, Garay, Fernandez, Rojo, Gago, Mascherano, Di Maria, Aguero, Messi, Higuain
