Argentina preview: Looking to return to winning ways
Argentina will face Venezuela and Puerto Rico in two friendlies in the United States this month, with several Premier League, Serie A and La Liga players in the squad.
Still fully involved with the Albiceleste, captain Lionel Messi is part of the high profile names called up for these games, including Lautaro Martinez, Emiliano Martinez, Nico Paz, Julian Alvarez, Franco Mastantuono and Alexis Mac Allister.
It is expected that coach Lionel Scaloni will make changes to the XI that started when these teams last met in September during a World Cup qualifier, with the likes of Paz, Mastantuono and Alvarez likely to play from the first minute.
Predicted lineup: Martinez (GK), Molina, Romero, Otamendi, Tagliafico, De Paul, Mac Allister, Paredes, Paz, Alvarez & Mastantuono.
Last five matches
- Ecuador 1-0 Argentina

Venezuela preview: Hoping to halt their losing streak
Venezuela will face Argentina and Belize this international break following the heartbreaking failure to secure a FIFA World Cup slot on the last day of the CONMEBOL qualifiers.
Although now recovered, first-choice goalkeeper Jose Contreras has not played a competitive game since May for both club and country due to injury. This means Rafael Romo should continue between the sticks for the Vinotinto this window, just like he did in the team's last six outings.
Kevin Kelsy of the Portland Timbers earned his third call-up to the national team this time, but it remains to be seen if the forward could partner either Salomon Rondon or Josef Martinez in the final third for this game.
Predicted lineup: Romo (GK), Navarro, Makoun, Angel, Ferraresi, Aramburu, Casseres, Rincon, Bello, Rondon & Martinez.
Last five matches
- Venezuela 3-6 Colombia
- Argentina 3-0 Venezuela
- Uruguay 2-0 Venezuela
- Venezuela 2-0 Bolivia
- Venezuela 1-0 Peru
Player to watch: Lionel Messi
Lionel Messi had a hat-trick of assists last weekend, as Inter Miami cruised to a 4-1 victory over New England Revolution.
The former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star has 11 goal contributions in his last six appearances and will fancy his chances against Venezuela, after scoring twice in the last meeting between these teams.
