Is Argentina v Cape Verde on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch World Cup fixture

Argentina Cape Verde World Cup Lionel Messi

Argentina continue their chase for back-to-back World Cup crowns as they face impressive debutants Cape Verde in the round of 32.

The defending champions eased into the knockout rounds with captain Lionel Messi making history in Group J to top the goalscoring charts both at this tournament and all-time at the World Cup.

They may expect a simple enough task as they look to reach the last 16 but Cape Verde have shown their defensive steel at this tournament.

Three draws against Spain, Saudi Arabia and Uruguay were a strong return and enough to advance in second from Group H – can they cause an almighty shock here?

Here’s everything you need to know.

When is Argentina vs Cape Verde?

Argentina vs Cape Verde is due to kick off at 11pm BST on Friday 3 July at Miami Stadium.

How can I watch it?

Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the match live on ITV1, with coverage on the channel from 10.15pm BST. A live stream will be available via ITVX.

Who will the winner face next?

Egypt lie in wait for Argentina or Cape Verde in the last 16 after the Pharaohs overcame Australia 4-2 on penalties following a 1-1 draw earlier today.

Confirmed line-ups

Argentina XI: E Martinez; Molina, Romero, Li Martinez, Medina; De Paul, Mac Allister, Fernandez, Almada; Messi, La Martinez

Telmo Arcanjo missed Cape Verde’s last game against Saudi Arabia and is again a doubt.

Possible Cape Verde XI: Vozinha; Moreira, Pico, Diney, S. Cabral; Lenini; Mendes, Duarte, Monteiro, J. Cabral; Livramento.
