The Argentina national team will play Zambia on Tuesday and coach Lionel Scaloni is set to make changes to the team.
Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni is expected to make some changes to the starting eleven from the one that started in the 2-1 win against Mauritania on Friday. At the back, Nicolás Tagliafico could start in place of Marcos Acuña and one of Marcos Senesi or Tomás Palacios would start alongside Cristian Romero.
Giuliano Simeone is also rumored to start with Alexis Mac Allister. It would be between Enzo Fernández and Rodrigo De Paul with Valentín Barco rumored to start.
Up front, it would be Lionel Messi and Julián Álvarez. Here is the rumored eleven:
Martinez; Molina, Romero, Senesi or Palacios, Tagliafico; Simeone, Mac Allister, Enzo or De Paul, Barco; Messi and Julián Álvarez
I’m not asking for perfection just a clear step up in performance. Argentina national football team were far below their standards last game, and against a much weaker side, they need to respond with authority and a complete display.
It’s good to see Valentín Barco start, though I’d have preferred Agustín Giay at right-back. Still, if Lionel Scaloni backs Nahuel Molina, so be it I just expect a dominant, convincing win.
