Aguero and his mates are in action against Croatia
Tournament favourites Argentina are targeting their first win of the World Cup when they come up against Croatia in Group D later tonight.
Croatia, unlike their opponents, are in relaxed mood having thumped African reps Nigeria 2-0 in the opening group game.
Argentina drew their first game with Iceland and are desperate to get back to winning ways.
There’s huge pressure on Captain Lionel Messi to lead his mates to victory as his counterpart Cristiano Ronaldo has done, netting four goals in just two games.
A win for Croatia will guarantee them a place in the next stage and Captain Luka Modric has charged his boys to go all out for a win.
Croatia coach Zlatko Dali says his side have "nothing to lose".
"The match against Argentina is the easiest game for us at the World Cup because we have three points and we play against a big opponent, we have nothing to lose in that game. I'll tell my players before the start of the game just to enjoy the spectacle."
Argentina coach Sampaoli says Messi must not shoulder the blame for their failure to be Iceland. He however expects a better team performance from his players.
"When Argentina don't win, we attribute responsibility to Leo. I think that's too easy a way for Argentinians to think," Sampaoli said.
"There were lots of factors of irritation for not winning against Iceland. There are 40 of us at this World Cup. The team will be together when things go well and when things go badly."
