Despite being the favorite with betting odds heavily favoring a win, Argentina, managed by Lionel Scaloni, has already secured qualification to the round of 16. The team achieved this by defeating Algeria 3-0 and Austria 2-0, with Lionel Messi becoming the all-time leading World Cup scorer with 18 goals across these matches. Argentina is set to play the second-place team from Group H on July 3 in Miami.
Given their secure position, Scaloni intends to use this match to give playing time to squad members who have not started earlier in the tournament. Goalkeeper Emiliano 'Dibu' Martรญnez's participation is uncertain due to a finger fracture, with Gerรณnimo Rulli potentially starting. The defense may see Gonzalo Montiel at right-back, Nicolรกs Otamendi and Marcos Senesi as center-backs, and Nicolรกs Tagliafico at left-back. Otamendi's return is partly due to Cristian 'Cuti' Romero nursing a knee injury. The midfield and offense are expected to feature six players making their first starts, including Giuliano Simeone, alongside Leandro Paredes, Exequiel Palacios, Giovani Lo Celso, Nico Paz, and Juliรกn รlvarez. Jordan, having lost both previous matches, is already eliminated.
