Team news & rosters
| Position | Argentina roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Armani, Musso, Rulli |
| Defenders | Otamendi, Tagliafico, Pezzella, Molina, Montiel, Foyth, Quarta, F. Carboni |
| Midfielders | Di Maria, Paredes, De Paul, Rodriguez, Gonzalez, Palacios, Ocampos, Lanzini, Mac Allister, V. Carboni, Garnacho, Romero, Soule |
Forwards | Messi, A. Correa, J. Correa, Alvarez, Boye, Geralnik, Paz |
Unbeaten across 2021 and in their richest vein of form since they arguably came up short at Brazil 2014, Argentina will head to the tournament among the firm favourites, with France, Brazil and England.
Lionel Messi won't want to miss a moment - and while the Paris Saint-Germain man's club form is lacking, he seldom lets the side down when it comes to this level.
Predicted Argentina starting XI: Armani; Molina, Otamendi, Quarta, Tagliafico; De Paul, Rodriguez, Paredes; Messi, J. Correa, Di Maria.
| Position | Venezuela roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Farinez, Romo, Graterol |
| Defenders | Rosales, Hernandez, Chancellor, Mago, Ferraresi, O. Gonzalez, La Mantia, Mejias, Makoun, Navarro |
| Midfielders | Rincon, Otero, Machis, Murillo, Soteldo, Savarino, Herrera, Casseres, Jose Martinez, L. Gonzalez, Chacon, Segovia |
| Forwards | Rondon, Josef Martinez, Aristeguieta |
Another cycle, another World Cup without Venezuela, who arguably are the biggest nation to have never made the showpiece tournament.
Jose Pekerman will still want his side to finish on a high note, however, and he'll expect La Vinotinto to give a good account of themselves against their heavyweight hosts.
Predicted Venezuela starting XI: Farinez; Rosales, Chancellor, Ferraresi, Gonzalez; Jose Martinez, Rincon; Machis, Otero, Soteldo; Rondon
