The Argentine team will face Jamaica this Tuesday, from 9:00 p.m., in their second friendly of the tour of the United States, as part of their preparation for the Qatar 2022 World Cup. With the intention of stretching their impressive undefeated record, those led by Lionel Scaloni will clash once morest those of Concacaf at the Red Bull Arena in New Jersey. It will televise TyC Sports.
The Albiceleste, which comes from winning without problems by 3 to 0 once morest Honduras in Miami thanks to the goals of Lautaro Martínez and Lionel Messi, on two occasions, he will have modifications in all his lines to face those of Merron Gordon.
If we take into account the last practice carried out by Lionel Scaloni, in which counted the participation of the president of the AFA Claudio Chiqui TapiaEmiliano Dibu Martínez will return to the goal following testing Gerónimo Rulli, a great presence at Villarreal in Spain.
The starting central defense will return to the last line, since Cristian Romero (he joined later due to a delay in his visa to enter the United States) and Nicolás Otamendi will play instead of Germán Pezzella and Lisandro Martínez. In addition, Gonzalo Montiel will have his chance to show himself on the right side by replacing Nahuel Molina. On the left wing will be Nicolás Tagliafico.
The medullary zone will also have touch-ups as a result of the inclusion of Alexis Mac Allister by Rodrigo De Paul and Guido Rodríguez by Leandro Paredes. The trident will be completed by Giovani Lo Celso. Above, in addition to captain Lionel Messi, Ángel Di María would play in place of Papu Gómez and the question is whether Lautaro Martínez will continue or if he will give Julián Álvarez a chance.
Against Honduras, Argentina extended the invitation to 34 games, a record in the history of the national team at the senior level. After winning the Copa América in Brazil in 2021 and ending the 28-year drought without titles, the team gained in confidence, improved their game and qualified early for the World Cup. This year he raised another cup with the Finalissima.
If the Albiceleste repeats its victory, it will enrich the metrics of the Scaloni cycle. It will reach the historic streaks of 35 matches without defeats that Brazil had, between 1993 and 1996, and Spain, between 2007 and 2009. The best reference for now is Italy, with 37 undefeated matches, between 2018 and 2021.
Jamaica, meanwhile, has just finished sixth in the final phase of the Concacaf qualifiers, 14 points behind Costa Rica, who qualified for the World Cup following beating New Zealand in the Repechage.
