The South Americans beat Algeria, while the Europeans defeated Jordan.

Whoever wins will move very close to securing qualification for the knockout stage as Group J leaders.

Check out the starting lineups below:


Argentina

Lionel Messi, of course, starts for the match. If he scores, he will become the all-time top scorer in World Cup history outright.

He takes the field tied with Germany’s Miroslav Klose, with 16 goals each.

Lionel Scaloni’s starting lineup has just one change, with Molina replacing Montiel at full-back.
