  • Argentina's coach Lionel Scaloni will field the same starting lineup against Switzerland as they did against Egypt.
  • Switzerland's coach Murat Yakin will include Djibril Sow in the starting formation.
  • Johan Manzambi of Switzerland is injured and will not be available for the match.

Argentina's coach Lionel Scaloni is set to maintain a consistent strategy for their upcoming match against Switzerland, opting to field the same starting eleven that faced Egypt. This decision reflects confidence in the team's current form and cohesion.

On the other side, Switzerland's coach Murat Yakin is making a change to his lineup. Djibril Sow, a player for Sevilla, will be included in the starting formation for the match. This adjustment comes as the Swiss team prepares to face a strong Argentine side.

Unfortunately for Switzerland, they will be without the services of star player Johan Manzambi. Like in their previous game against Colombia, Manzambi is sidelined due to injury and will not be able to participate in the quarterfinal match. The absence of their key player presents a challenge for the Swiss team.

The match is scheduled to take place in Kansas City at the Arrowhead Stadium. The referee for this quarterfinal fixture will be Joao Pinheiro from Portugal.
