Quarterfinal 2 of the 2022 World Cup is a highly anticipated confrontation between the stars of both the Netherlands and Argentina.

The 2022 World Cup will officially return with the semi-finals tonight Vietnam time when 2 matches will take place.

However, this scenario is predicted to be difficult to come true if looking at the nature of the match and the playing style of the Netherlands and Argentina in the past 4 matches.

Originally, both the Netherlands and Argentina did not demonstrate their offensive style of play.

The match against the US team in the round of 1/8 most clearly demonstrated the pragmatism of the Netherlands when they `pretended` to take the match and then scored thanks to their ability to quickly change states.

Up to this point, after going through 4 matches, the Netherlands has only had 14 shots on target but has had 8 goals and only conceded 2 goals.

The Dutch team still showed great efficiency in their playing style even though they did not completely impose on their opponents throughout the match.

In the first two matches in the group stage, Argentina played with a 4-4-2 formation. Scaloni understood that his team could not play as imposingly as in the qualifying round.

Argentina also showed effectiveness in controlling play in the past 3 matches when Messi played deep

In the match against Mexico, although the opponent actively played defense from the first minute, Argentina still aimed for safety, especially when De Paul and Guido Rodriguez continuously made dangerous bad passes in the middle.

The South American team lulled the opponent to sleep with rebound plays in front of the 16m50 area and they scored 2 goals thanks to 2 shots on target throughout the match.

Although they are rated much higher than Australia, Argentina still does not attack massively but aims for certainty in the backline

Both the Netherlands and Argentina have their own lulling but effective playing style.
