TEAM NEWS
Argentina star Lionel Messi is expected to play against Germany despite missing training on Thursday with a cold.
Walter Samuel has recovered from a thigh problem but is not expected to displace Nicolas Burdisso or Martin Demichelis at centre-back.
Germany's counter-attacking prowess could persuade coach Diego Maradona to replace winger Angel Di Maria with the more defensive-minded Jonas Gutierrez.
Maradona must also choose between Maxi Rodriguez and veteran Juan Veron.
Germany will assess Lukas Podolski, who is nursing a muscular problem.
Playmaker Mesut Ozil is expected to start despite skipping training on Thursday due to fatigue.
Striker Cacau is still suffering from a strained abdominal muscle, and is unlikely to be involved.
One booking from suspension: Bolatti, Heinze, Mascherano (Argentina); Friedrich, Khedira, Lahm, Ozil, Muller, Schweinsteiger (Germany).
Head-to-head
- Victory in the 1986 World Cup final is Argentina's only previous World Cup win in five matches against Germany or West Germany. Since the 1990 final they have met six times (including friendlies), with Argentina's only defeat coming in a penalty shoot-out at the last World Cup.
