Argentina-Mexico official line-ups: predicted goalscorers, cautioned players and marksmen for the Albiceleste match
After the opening knockout against Saudi Arabia, Scaloni’s Argentina can no longer afford any missteps. Messi and his teammates must win against Mexico if they are not to be forced to make too many calculations. Mexico, however, could complicate the Albiceleste’s plans in no small way, especially if they fail to break the deadlock from the outset.
- ARGENTINA Martinez, Montiel, Otamendi, Lisandro, Acuña; De Paul, Guido Rodríguez, Alexis Mac Allister; Messi, Lautaro, Di María
- MESSICO Ochoa; Montes, Araujo, Moreno, Gallardo; Chavez, Herrera, Guardado; Alvarez, Lozano, Vega. C.T. Martino.
Argentina-Mexico, the scorers’ prediction
In the Mexico clash, Lautaro Martinez could find the way to goal. The Inter striker, who was in the shadow against Mexico, is too important in the economy of the Albiceleste’s game, which cannot do without the ‘Toro”s flurries. Di Maria also has a great chance of scoring at least once.
Probable cautions and marksmen for Argentina-Mexico
Mexico will try to be dense in the middle of the field, trying to pounce on counter-attacks in the opportunities that arise from time to time. Therefore, long-distance shots could play an important role: Rodrigo De Paul could have his say with at least one important conclusion from distance. He could end up in the notebook of match director Montes.
