Argentina vs. Egypt Projected Lineups, Starting 11 for World Cup Round of 16 Game in Atlanta

Lionel Scaloni is expected to keep Lionel Messi and Lautaro Martínez in attack as Argentina seeks a quarterfinal place after a tougher-than-expected win.

  • Argentina faces Egypt on Tuesday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, aiming to secure a World Cup quarterfinal spot in the round of 16.
  • La Albiceleste required extra time to triumph 3-2 over Cabo Verde, surrendering leads twice before advancing, while Egypt enters the clash undefeated this summer.
  • Lionel Messi leads the offense with seven goals, while defender Lisandro Martinez supplied crucial contributions against Cabo Verde, and Manager Lionel Scaloni continues relying on veteran midfielder Rodrigo De Paul.
  • Nahuel Molina remains an injury doubt with Gonzalo Montiel on standby, though Scaloni confirmed Facundo Medina is fit after experiencing cramp in the 85th minute previously.
  • The victor advances to a quarterfinal tie against Switzerland or Colombia, while midfielder Enzo Fernandez aims to ignore external noise following Real Madrid's public rejection last week.
