Argentina take on Iran in tonight's 3rd place play-off at the 2011 Futsal Grand Prix in Brazil.

Iran have impressed throughout the 7th Futsal Grand Prix in Brazil, reaching the knockout stages of the tournament by winning all three of their group games, then advancing to the semi-finals with a 4-2 win over Guatemala on Thursday.

But Friday saw Iran become the latest side to go down to an impressive Brazil side, who reached Sunday's final with a 4-1 victory.

Iran are now involved in the bronze medal game against an Argentina side who have also impressed.

Argentina, who were also unbeaten in the group stages, played well on Thursday as they beat South American rivals Paraguay 7-3 to advance to the final four.

But they came up short against Russia in Friday's other semi-final game, narrowly losing 3-2.

Tonight's game has the potential to be a thriller and both sides will be eager to finish the tournament on a high.

This one really could go either way.

Prediction: Iran to win.
