Argentina vs Nigeria: TV channel, live stream, squad news & preview
Group D comes into a mouth-watering conclusion on Tuesday as
Argentina will clash with Nigeria at the Krestovsky Stadium in
Saint Petersburg.
Argentina have been handed a lifeline following Iceland's 2-0 loss to their next opponents Nigeria , and are still on the verge of a World Cup group stage exit following their devastating 3-0 loss to Croatia , who have already won their group and qualified for the last 16 phase.
This summer's finals in Russia was meant to be a chance for Argentina to redeem themselves following their runners-up finish in Brazil four years ago, as well as Lionel Messi's potential World Cup swan song.
Their tournament, however, has been shrouded in misery through a series of poor group and individual performances and Messi missing a crucial spot-kick against Iceland that would have put Argentina in the lead.
Nigeria are second in their group and could qualify should they beat Argentina. The South American side, however, still have a final shot at making it to the last 16 if they are to beat Nigeria, and if Croatia managed to avoid defeat to Iceland.

Four years on from finishing the World Cup in Brazil as runners-up to Germany, this tournament in Russia was supposed to be a chance for Argentina to finally shine and give Messi one last shot at winning the competition. It has all disappointingly not gone according to plan, however, as Argentina face being eliminated in the group stage for the first time since the 2002 tournament in South Korea and Japan.
Argentina started their group stage campaign on the wrong foot after they scuppered the chance to win 2-1 against Iceland following Messi's missed penalty. They then went on to lose 3-0 against Croatia , who have emerged as a dark horse in the tournament, and the South Americans have never looked as if they have gelled as a team.
Even Messi has been struggling to make an impact for his side and though they have the likes of Aguero and Dybala available, have struggled to come together as a cohesive unit.
Following Nigeria's 2-0 win over Iceland, however, Argentina have one final chance of making it to the last 16 should they record a first victory over the Super Eagles and Croatia win their final game against Iceland.
