Portugal-Argentina Statistical Preview

Two of the world’s best footballers, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi will be going head-to-head against each other.

This game is already being billed as another Messi vs Ronaldo affair but, as far as Argentina are concerned, they have a whole host of stars looking to ensure that this isn't a straight head-to-head battle between the two forwards.

Ronaldo's ego will mean that he will want the limelight, particularly at his former home, but this is the sort of match that could see his teammates let him down, with Messi's supporting cast the far superior.

In turn, Argentina should run out comfortable winners against a Portugal side short of real quality in a number of positions.

Here is the statistical preview of the match:
