Below is a list of all Olympics 2016 Hockey broadcasters from across the world.
Overview
Argentina will be full of confidence coming into this game, considering they registered their first win of the tournament thrashing Canada 3-1 on Monday. Gonzalo Peillat scored twice while Matias Paredas added one to ensure that Argentina are still unbeaten at the Rio Olympics.
The South Americans had drawn 3-3 with favourites Netherlands in their opening game, which has clearly given them a boost. In Matias Paredas who has scored in both their fixtures, they have a star that is not afraid of going forward and taking on the defence.
A win for them against India will help them going forward as they battle for a spot in the top three.
Eight-time Olympic champions India suffered their first defeat in the 2016 Rio Olympics on 8 August going down 2-1 to Germany. The Men in Blue conceded a goal in the dying seconds to let Germany win in what was a closely fought match.
Rupinder Pal Singh was the only bright spot for India, scoring in the 23rd minute. He has now scored three goals in the two games played so far. Roelant Olktman's men have looked nervous in both the games, especially in defence, with keeper P R Sreejesh needing to rescue the side on a number of occasions.
India will come into this game knowing they have to ensure that they do not concede late goals, something which has happened in both their games so far.
