Pre Match INSIGHTS

They did have a shaky start though, drawing 1-1 with Chile as Eduardo Vargas pounced on the rebound from a saved penalty to level the game after Lionel Messi had put La Albiceleste ahead with a free kick in the first half.

Lionel Scaloni's men quickly bounced back and built a winning run, first defeating Uruguay 1-0 thanks to an early Guido Rodriguez goal.They then followed that up with another 1-0 win, as Alejandro Gomez fired them to a victory over Paraguay with a goal in the 10th minute.In their final group game, La Albiceleste thrashed Bolivia 4-1 as captain Messi hit a brace alongside goals from Gomez and Lautaro Martinez.

Having grown into the tournament so far, Scaloni's men will look to continue their campaign with a win over Ecuador to book their spot in the final four, given the expectations on Argentina to qualify.Their opponents narrowly secured qualification to the final eight, having pipped Venezuela to fourth spot in Group B.
4
Argentina will be led by talisman Lionel Messi, who has found the net three times and recorded two
assists in four Copa America games, taking his tally to 75 international goals.He should support
frontman Sergio Aguero, who has led the line for the last two matches.Alejandro Gomez and
Lautaro Martinez could make up the rest of the front line, having both scored in the win over Bolivia.
5
Further back, Lisandro Martinez will be a key man in the back line after an eye-catching performance
in that win, while Scaloni may also call on the experience of Nicolas Otamendi and bring him in at the
heart of the back four.Enner Valencia should continue to lead the Ecuador line, having hit 31 goals in
60 appearances for his nation.
