Argentina is set to clash with Colombia in the Copa America 2024 final on July 14th. The defending champions are determined to retain the title they secured in Brazil in 2021 and carried the momentum from their FIFA World Cup victory in Qatar in 2022. Argentina, led by Lionel Scaloni, has performed admirably throughout the tournament, displaying their dominance with wins in the group stage and knockout rounds against Ecuador and Canada.
On the other hand, Colombia, under the guidance of Nestor Lorenzo, overcame Uruguay in a contentious 1-0 semifinal match to earn a spot in the final showdown. A notable highlight of this final will be the duel between Lionel Messi of Argentina and James Rodriguez of Colombia, both pivotal players in their respective teams.
Predicted Lineups and Team News
Argentina’s coach, Scaloni, faces no significant injury concerns following their victory over Canada. While some substitutions were made late in the match to provide rest, key decisions need to be made regarding the lineup. Players like Nahuel Molina and Nico Gonzalez are expected to feature, with Julian Alvarez likely retaining his position upfront despite the impressive form of Lautaro Martinez. Angel Di Maria is anticipated to start on the bench in what could be his final match for the national team.
The predicted lineup for Argentina is as follows: E. Martinez — Molina, Romero, Li. Martinez, Tagliafico — De Paul, Fernandez, Mac Allister, Gonzalez — Alvarez, Messi.
Colombia will be forced to make at least one change due to the suspension of defender Daniel Munoz. Nevertheless, Coach Lorenzo is likely to stick with a mostly unchanged lineup, with Santiago Arias expected to replace Munoz, and Luis Diaz and James Rodriguez leading the attack for Colombia.
The predicted lineup for Colombia is as follows: Vargas — S. Arias, Sanchez, Cuesta, Mojica — Rios, Lerma — J. Arias, James, Diaz — Cordoba.
