Ahead of the match, Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni has said that his team's lineup is almost final. Although the team has not been officially announced, according to Argentine media reports, three changes may be seen in the starting lineup compared to the previous match.

In the pre-match press conference, Scaloni said that a decision has been made regarding the lineup. However, since the players were not informed beforehand, an official announcement was not made. He also indicated that the probable lineup published in the media is close to reality.

According to Argentine media reports, experienced left-back Nicolas Tagliafico may return to the defense after recovering from an injury. His return could see Facundo Medina benched.

There is also a possibility of a change in the attack. Julian Alvarez may be seen in the starting lineup instead of Lautaro Martinez. Scaloni is planning to form a new attack with Alvarez, who has fully recovered from an injury.

There are also indications of a change in midfield. Leandro Paredes, who performed well after coming on as a substitute against Cape Verde, may start the match. In that case, Thiago Almada may have to sit on the bench.

In Scaloni's plan, Paredes will control the midfield. This could see Alexis Mac Allister playing in a more attacking role. He will be joined in midfield by Enzo Fernandez and Rodrigo De Paul.

In the probable lineup, Emiliano Martinez will be in goal. The defense will consist of Nahuel Molina, Cristian Romero, Lisandro Martinez, and Nicolas Tagliafico. The midfield will have Rodrigo De Paul, Leandro Paredes, Enzo Fernandez, and Alexis Mac Allister. In the attack, captain Lionel Messi may be accompanied by Julian Alvarez.

If Argentina can defeat Egypt, they will secure a place in the quarter-finals. Therefore, this match is extremely important for Scaloni's team in their goal of retaining the title.
