Possible alignment of Argentina vs Paraguay for the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers

The Argentine team will play this Thursday, October 7, against Paraguay at the Defensores del Chaco Stadium for the first day of the triple date of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers. Lionel Scaloni’s team only has one loss, that of Exequiel Palacios, who was left out of the match against the Paraguayans, due to the fact that he suffered a torn ligament in his right ankle on September 16, however, the technical team hopes that he may have minutes against Uruguay and Peru.

For this meeting, the technical director will have the usual starters, so Lionel Scaloni will not have to improvise in any area of ​​the field to set up the XI that will face Paraguay. With Messi as the great standard, the Albicelestes will look for a new triumph in Asunción.

Before traveling to Paraguay, the technical director of Argentina confirmed in a press conference that 99 percent of the team will be the one in the Copa América final against Brazil, however, the only question is whether he will choose to line up Nahuel Molina or Gonzalo Montiel.
