According to Argentina’s public broadcaster DeporTV, Argentina completed their final training session before the World Cup final in the rain, and head coach Lionel Scaloni has largely settled on his starting lineup, with only two positions still to be confirmed.
The report predicts Argentina will continue with a 4-4-2 formation. There is uncertainty at right-back, where Gonzalo Montiel could replace Nahuel Molina in the starting XI, while in midfield Giovanni Simeone and Rodrigo De Paul are among those competing for a place.
The projected lineup is: Emiliano Martinez / Montiel or Molina, Cristian Romero, Lisandro Martinez, Nicolas Tagliafico / Giovanni Simeone or De Paul, Enzo Fernandez, Leandro Paredes, Alexis Mac Allister / Lionel Messi, Julian Alvarez.
