Argentina
Argentina ended the 2019 Copa America in third place, as manager Lionel Scaloni saw his team improve as the tournament progressed. They are also undefeated in their last four friendly matches following the tournament. During that span, they produced a 4-0 win over Mexico and a 2-2 draw on the road against Germany. They are coming off a huge 6-1 victory against Ecuador.
Starting goalkeeper Franco Armani is expected to be rested since he will play in the 2019 Copa Libertadores final next week. But the biggest news for Argentina will be the return of their captain Lionel Messi following his three-month suspension.
Argentina's Expected Starting 11
Esteban Andrada (GK), Juan Foyth, Nicolas Otamendi, Walter Kannemann, Nicolas Tagliafico, Rodrigo De Paul, Leandro Paredes, Giovani Lo Celso, Lionel Messi; Lautaro Martínez, Sergio Agüero
