Argentina vs Egypt – Lineups and team news
Argentina
There are no surprises in the announced lineup as it was very much expected that there will be more than one changes to the team.
The three changes to the squad includes Nocilas Tagliafico, Leandro Paredes, and Julian Alvarez, all of whom comes in place of the injured Facundo Medina, Thiago Almada, and Lautaro Martinez. Nahuel Molina keeps his place while Gonzalo Montiel remains in the bench.
Argentina playing XI: E. Martinez; Molina, Romero, L. Martinez, Medina; De Paul, Fernandez, Mac Allister, Paredes; Messi, Alvarez
Egypt
Hamdhi Fathi drops to the bench and Mohanad Lasheen makes the squad in midfield.
Omar Marmoush also sits this one out in the bench after his subpar performance against Australia as Haissem Hassan makes the squad.
Egypt playing XI: Shobeir; Hany, Fathy, Ibrahim, Rabia; Ashour, Lasheen, Ateya, Ziko; Salah, Marmoush
Our Prediction
Even with the changes, Argentina still boast a deeper squad depth. Although after their hard fought win against Cape Verde in the Round of 32, Lionel Scaloni and his team will make sure not to take anyone lightly.
Still, it will be easier that the last match. We say 4-1 in favour of Argentina.
