Goal threats?
Di Maria out, Van Persie suffering stomach aches, probably out.
Robben and Messi? Both playing their 6th games in 2 months, there's only so much heroes can do by themselves while being the main targets, they will struggle (most likely).
Strategy?
Both have used their defense to get this far. They'll fight it out in the midfield and hope for spot kicks to provide goals. Both coaches will turtle up their teams and hope for that 1 goal to hide their heads into their shells with.
History?
Last 5 games. Last one was 0-0. What's relevant here is playing style.
