Predicted XI
Franco Armani is once again expected to start between the posts even though the 32-year old had some nervy moments in the match against Colombia.
German Pezzella and Nicolas Otamendi will once again start in the heart of the defence with Nicolas Tagliafico and Renzo Saravia being deployed as full backs.
The midfield will be the major problem for Scaloni. The Albiceleste is expected to start Leonardo Paredes and Giovani Lo Celso in the centre with Guido RodrÃguez likely to make way.
Rodrigo De Paul is expected to fill in for Angel Di Maria while Roberto Pereyra or Paulo Dybala will take up the other wing.
The frontline of Argentine looks solid with Sergio Aguero and Lionel Messi leading the charge.
Predicted XI: Armani; Tagliafico, Pezzella, Otamendi, Saravi; De Paul, Paredes, Lo Celso, Pereyra; Messi, and Aguero.
