After the friendly tour against Ecuador and Guatemala, the Pujato coach drew several conclusions regarding the eleven for the debut but still has to define some doubts.
The main unknowns go through the center forward: between Julián Álvarez and Lautaro Martínez The lead will come out, although the Manchester City player has the advantage. While, the presence of Ángel Di María is practically confirmed. In the last practice he rehearsed with Fideo as a right midfielder, so, if the Benfica player starts, he will gain chances of appearing as the Spider. At the same time, in the last practice The possibility arose that Lisandro Martínez would be the second defender replacing Nicolás Otamendi. What is confirmed is the midfield, which will be occupied by Leandro Paredes, Rodrigo De Paul and Alexis Mac Allister.
As to Canada, which played in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, will play an official match against Argentina for the first time. In preparation for the competition, They played two friendlies against France, with whom they drew goalless, and against the Netherlands, who beat them 4-0..
