Argentina Predicted Lineup Against Egypt: World Cup Round of 16 Clash
Argentina is poised to secure a World Cup quarterfinal spot and move closer to back-to-back titles when they face Egypt on Tuesday. The defending champions had a tough match against Cabo Verde in the round of 32, surrendering leads twice before winning 3-2 with an own goal in extra time.
Argentina is the clear favorite against Egypt, who remains unbeaten this summer. A win at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta would set up a quarterfinal tie with either Switzerland or Colombia.
Argentina's likely lineup includes Emiliano Martínez in goal, with Nahuel Molina and Cristian Romero in defense, despite Molina being a slight injury doubt. Lisandro Martínez and Facundo Medina are expected to complete the backline. Rodrigo De Paul, Alexis Mac Allister, and Enzo Fernández will likely form the midfield, with Thiago Almada on the left and Lionel Messi and Lautaro Martínez up front.
Messi has scored almost two-thirds of Argentina's goals this summer, with seven so far, and is currently tied with Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé in the Golden Boot race. A win against Egypt would be a significant step towards Argentina's goal of consecutive World Cup titles.
