Under the Friday night lights, Holland and Argentina face each other in the second round of the World Cup in what promises to be an engrossing competition. Louis van Gaal's Dutch side has been more effective and efficient than eye-catching so far in the tournament, but they remain undefeated. Argentina was victims of a massive World Cup shock when losing 2-1 to Saudi Arabia in their first group game, but the team bounced back to top Group C after beating Mexico and Poland.

Holland needs only a point against already-eliminated host country Qatar to guarantee their spot in the World Cup knockout stages. Louis van Gaal's squad won 2-0 in their Group A opener, but Ecuador kept them to a 1-1 draw. Holland is currently in first place in the South American rankings thanks to their outstanding fair play record. Sportmail takes you through everything you should do about the Group A experience.

In both teams' crucial second Group A match at the Qatar World Cup (inset bottom), Holland (left) meets Ecuador (right). Ecuador comfortably defeated Qatar 2-0 in the tournament's curtain-raiser on Sunday, while Holland defeated Senegal by a narrow margin on Monday evening due to two late goals. Gustavo Alfaro's side finished fourth in the CONMEBOL qualifying tournament and demonstrated their defensive strength by accumulating six straight clean sheets. During the qualifying rounds, Ecuador even managed to draw 1-1 against both Argentina and Brazil. Holland, meanwhile, finished in last place in qualifying under the watchful eye of Louis van Gaal (inset top) in his third and presumably final term in charge of the country.
