Will Messi get on the scoresheet?

With Hugo Lloris in goal and Raphael Varane and Samuel Umtiti as the centre-backs, France is a hard side to break down. N'Golo Kante's defensive work-rate also makes it harder for the opponents' playmakers to get time on the ball.

As such, Argentina has to be clinical and make good of whatever chances they get. The squad has got players who know a thing or two about scoring and Argentina players have to make sure that chances fall to those who are clinical.

Having scored 21 times in 25 appearances in the Premier League in 2017/18, Aguero will want to get on the scoresheet if he gets a chance today.

Argentina, though, will surely rely on Messi to get goals to guide them to victory. The Barcelona talisman scored 34 times in 36 appearances in La Liga last season and his form in front of goal may just as well decide the outcome of the game.
