    Head-to-head
    • Nigeria have lost all three previous World Cup encounters with Argentina, all of which were in the group stage.
    • They were also defeated by Paraguay in the group stage of the 1998 World Cup, meaning they have lost all four of their World Cup games against South American opposition.
    • Including friendlies, the Super Eagles have won just one of six games against Argentina. That was a 4-1 victory in Abuja, when the visitors fielded an unfamiliar line-up.
    • Argentina also beat Nigeria in the final of the 2005 Under-20 World Cup and the gold-medal match at the 2008 Olympics.
    Nigeria
    • Victory against Bosnia-Hercegovina gave Nigeria their first win in 10 World Cup games (W1, D3, L6).
    • They attempted 20 shots (including blocked efforts) against the Bosnians, although 14 were from long range.
    • Joseph Yobo is set for his 100th cap - and will become the first Nigerian to reach the landmark.
    • The Super Eagles are the only side who have yet to concede at this tournament. They have gone 221 minutes without conceding a World Cup goal since South Korea's Park Chu-Young scored against them in 2010.
    Argentina
    • Argentina have won 11 of their last 14 World Cup group games (D2, L1), scoring 27 goals and conceding just five.
    • They have won four of five World Cup games against African opposition. Their only defeat was their first match in that sequence, a 1-0 loss to Cameron in 1990.
    • Lionel Messi has scored 22 goals in his last 22 games for Argentina.
    • Messi had just one touch inside the penalty area against Iran.

    Picking this of the two quite unappealing games. Can't really be bothered to set up a dual screen jobby for Bosnia/Iran.
