Di Maria is out?

Lionel Scaloni will play Argentina, it can be guessed at least by the opposing teams. But one thing is becoming very difficult to predict—in which match Scaloni will play which 11 in the starting XI!

How the opposing team will understand, who will be played by the Argentine coach in the starting eleven, the players of the team can’t know it a few hours before the match! Emiliano Martínez under the goal and Lionel Messi in the forward, these two are guaranteed to be in Scaloni’s starting XI for all time. But who else will play in the eleven against Australia?

Several sources of the Argentina team have confirmed that Angel Di Maria will not play in this match due to injury. With the absence of Di Maria, Scaloni will definitely have to change the plan and the XI. Who will Scaloni bring down as his substitute against Australia? He could play either Alejandro Gomez or Angel Correa here.

Argentina’s XI against Australia can be advanced on defense in an attempt to understand. According to Argentinian media reports, Scaloni may not keep Marcos Acuña in this match. Nicolas Taliafico will play in his place. This is the only change that could come to the defense.

Leandro Paredes is unable to play in midfield. However, Scaloni should not worry too much about this. Argentina’s midfield played as expected in the group stage. Alejandro Gomez or Angel Correa could play in place of Paredes against Australia today.

Julian Alvarez is more likely to play alongside Lionel Messi in attack. All in all, let’s take a look at what could be Argentina’s starting XI against Australia.

Goalkeeper: Emiliano Martinez.
Defence: Nahuel Molina, Cristian Romero, Nicolas Otamendi, Marcos Acuña/Nicolas Taliafico.
Midfield: Rodrigo Di Paul, Enzo Fernandez, Alexis McAllister, Alejandro Gomez/Angel Correa.
Attack: Julian Alvarez, Lionel Messi.
