Without Lionel Messi, who is injured, coach Lionel Scaloni is preparing changes to the team. The midfield will have the return of Rodrigo De Paul, who did not play in the 1-0 victory over Uruguay last Friday. The coach still has doubts about the ideal formation, but the tendency is for Argentina to use a base similar to the one that faced Uruguay.
The defense should be maintained with Martínez in goal and the four-man line formed by Molina, Romero, Otamendi and Tagliafico. In the middle, the main uncertainty is between Leandro Paredes and Simeone. If he opts for the more experienced player, Scaloni will reinforce the ball possession and defensive solidity. If he chooses Simeone, he will gain more explosiveness and speed on the wings.
Enzo Fernández and Mac Allister complete the sector alongside De Paul, who returns with the status of a key player for Argentina to control the game in the midfield. In the attack, the expectation is that Thiago Almada will play further back, acting as a link between the defensive midfielders and the attack, while Julián Álvarez will have freedom to move around and pressure the Brazilian defense.

Probable Argentina lineup:
Dibu Martínez; Molina, Romero, Otamendi and Tagliafico; Paredes (Simeone), Enzo Fernández, Mac Allister and De Paul; Thiago Almada and Julian Alvarez.
