Argentina vs Egypt: Confirmed Lineups & Formations
Official XIs · Paredes and Álvarez start · Almada benched · Betting impact
🇦🇷 Argentina — Confirmed Starting XI
Lionel Scaloni's confirmed XI is unchanged in personnel from the back four and goalkeeper that started against Cabo Verde, with Paredes adding midfield solidity alongside De Paul, Mac Allister and Enzo Fernández. Julián Álvarez gets the nod alongside Messi up front, with both Thiago Almada and Lautaro Martínez confirmed on the bench.
🇪🇬 Egypt — Predicted/Reported Starting XI
One source lists Karim Hafez in Egypt's starting XI, but a separate report from the same day explicitly states Hafez was forced off injured against Australia and that Egypt's back line "will likely need a reshuffle." Given that direct contradiction, I'm presenting Egypt's lineup below with lower confidence than Argentina's, and recommending you check FanDuel's live lineup graphic before betting anything tied to Egypt's defense specifically. Mostafa Shobeir in goal, Yasser Ibrahim and Mohamed Hany in defense, and the Ashour-Zico-Salah attacking trio (with Mohanad Lasheen confirmed back from suspension) are more consistently corroborated.
