The selected Sub-20 of Argentina Try to hold on to another victory and ensure passage to the round of 16 of the category World Cup that takes place in the country, facing Guatemalafor the second round of Group A. The match is played at the Único Madre de Ciudades stadium in Santiago del Estero, starting at 18:00, is refereed by the Turkish Halil Umut Meler and broadcast by public TV, TyC Sports and DSports.
Argentina started the World Cup with a long and narrow success against Uzbekistan, 2-1 with goals by Alejo Veliz AND Valentine Carboni, which gave great relief and left him on a good basis looking for a pass to the round of 16. Here’s how a triumph would imply you go straight to the next instance.
Mascherano and his coaching staff believe that the most demanding rival in the group has already passed and the plan is to ratify the football idea in the next two games. This is why he has all his players at his disposal to define the starting team. DT’s idea is to ensure qualification for the round of 16 on this date and then only fight for first or second place on the last day.
The eleven players who will take the field would be the same as in the first game. The only doubt is on the far right in between Brian Aguirre AND Juan Gauto. Moreover, Fernando Redondo could enter instead of Matthew Tanlongo in midfield.
On the other hand, Argentina faces an urgent rival for the win to maintain its World Cup illusion. Guatemala played a good game against New Zealand in the Mother of Cities, despite losing 1-0, with a pattern similar to that of Uzbekistan.
Before the national team match, group rivals Uzbekistan and New Zealand will play their respective matches in the previous round at 15:00, again from Santiago del Estero.
