Team news
Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni has most of his star-studded squad available but is expected to make tactical changes after a nervy victory against Egypt. Left-back Facundo Medina is tipped to return to the starting line-up, while Julian Alvarez and Lautaro Martinez compete for the central striker role. Switzerland are dealing with fitness concerns: attacking midfielder Johan Manzambi is doubtful after missing the last-16 game, and Luca Jaquez and Michel Aebischer are being assessed by medical staff.
Head-to-head record
Historical form favours Argentina, as Switzerland have never beaten them in any competitive or friendly match. In seven encounters since 1966, Argentina have won five and drawn two, outscoring the Swiss 15 goals to three.
