Argentina should go into what is set to be a crucial fixture with an unchanged lineup as nothing less than a win is a safe result for Scaloni.

Lautaro Martinez and Angel Di Maria will once again be expected to assist Lionel Messi in the attack. The likes of Julian Alvarez and Paulo Dybala continue to wait for their chance - with the latter yet to make an appearance off the bench.
