Paraguay and Argentina have finalized their line-ups for a highly anticipated match that sees both teams fielding some of their top talent in a competitive clash.
Paraguay will play in a 4-4-2 formation, aiming to strike a balance between defense and attack. Roberto “Gatito” Fernández takes his place in goal, while Gustavo Velázquez and Gustavo Gómez are set to lead a backline featuring Omar Alderete and Júnior Alonso.
In midfield, Diego Gómez and Andrés Cubas will be responsible for holding the center, supported by Damián Bobadilla and Miguel Almirón to link up with the forwards. Leading Paraguay’s attacking efforts, Julio Enciso and Antonio Sanabria will look to break through Argentina’s defense.
Argentina, led by coach Lionel Scaloni, adopts a 4-3-1-2 formation featuring star players like Lionel Messi, who takes an attacking midfield role to support forwards Julián Álvarez and Lautaro Martínez.
Argentina’s defense will be anchored by Emiliano Martínez in goal and a back four comprising Nicolás Tagliafico, Nicolás Otamendi, Cristian Romero, and Nahuel Molina.
Midfield playmakers Alexis Mac Allister, Rodrigo De Paul, and Enzo Fernández will look to control the pace and set up scoring opportunities for the forwards.
Both teams bring strong substitute options, including Alejandro Garnacho and Leandro Paredes for Argentina and Ramón Sosa and Isidro Pitta for Paraguay, which could prove essential in the game’s closing stages.
