Argentina head into their final Group J match against Jordan on Sunday with one eye already on the knockout stage, while their rivals will be eager to sign off their first World Cup campaign on a positive note in what is effectively a dead rubber.
The South Americans have secured top spot in the group and a place in the round of 32 after beating Algeria 3-0 and Austria 2-0, with Lionel Messi scoring all five of their goals.
Before facing the Group H runners-up in Miami on July 3, Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni is expected to rotate his squad against Jordan.
Messi himself would be rested, with Nico Paz in line to step in for the talisman, who turned 39 on Wednesday and had recently recovered from a muscle strain.
