They need to fight back

Argentina didn't have a good start in the tournament as they suffered an 0-2 loss to Colombia in their opening game. Their play was quite predicted, they missed a few chances and finally they didn't manage to get even the single point. The 'Albiceleste' have still many defensive problems, they actually concede goals with ease. Lionel Scaloni will make four chances in the starting eleven compared with their opening game, based on some publications from the media of the country of 'tango'. Rodrigo De Paul, Lautaro Martinez, Milton Casco, and Roberto Pereyra are expected to replace Angel Di Maria, Sergio Aguero, Renzo Saravia and Guido Rodriguez who weren't that effective in their first game. Their next game is against Qatar for the third round of this group.

On the other hand, Paraguay didn't manage to get the three-pointer in the opening game against Qatar. Oscar Cardozo scored from the penalty spot at the beginning of the match, while Derlis Gonzalez doubled their lead in the second half. However, Qatar made the comeback and equalized with two goals from Almoez Ali and an own goal from Rodrigo Rojas. Paraguay were quite passive through most of the match, actually they didn't deserve more. Argentina are definitely an even more difficult opponent. They will try to fight 'Albiceleste' with a play based on their defense and score in the counterattack.

Argentina can't afford losing more points. I expect them to do their best to grab the win that will boost their morale. Paraguay showed weakness vs Qatar, so I can't see how they can match Argentina. Home win with two or more goals difference will be my call.
