The Copa America 2024 continues with a clash between defending champions Argentina and Chile in their second Group A match. The game is set to take place at the MetLife Stadium on Tuesday, with kickoff scheduled for Wednesday in India Standard Time.
Chile will be looking to bounce back from their opening defeat, but they might face some challenges. Diego Valdes, who was substituted at half-time in their previous match, is a doubt for the game due to a knock. Adding to their concerns, Victor Davila, Alexis Sanchez, and Erick Pulgar all received yellow cards in their opener. Another yellow card for any of these players in the match against Argentina would result in a suspension for their final group game.
Argentina, on the other hand, will be hoping to maintain their winning momentum. Captain Lionel Messi recently set a Copa America record by making his 35th appearance in the competition, surpassing Sergio Livingstone. The match could also see the potential debut of young talents Valentin Carboni and Alejandro Garnacho, who were unused substitutes against Canada. The inclusion of Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez is also a possibility.
The anticipated lineups for the match are as follows:
Chile:
Bravo(GK); Isla, Lichnovsky, Diaz, Suazo; Echeverria, Pulgar; Davila, Sanchez, Diaz; Vargas
Argentina:
E. Martinez(GK); Molina, Romero, Li. Martinez, Acuna; Di Maria, De Paul, Lo Celso, Mac Allister; Messi, AlvarezThe clash between these two South American giants promises to be an exciting encounter, with both teams eager to secure a crucial victory in their quest for Copa America glory.
