Match Preview
Argentina will end their international break with a friendly against Curacao at the Estadio Unico Madre de Ciudades on Tuesday evening. The world champions just snatched a 2-0 win over Panama last Friday thanks to goals from Thiago Almada and Lionel Messi in the second half.
Messi scored his 800th career goal with a spectacular free kick in the 89th minute. This was Argentina’s seventh successive win in all competitions. “I’m very happy to score my 800th career goal. It’s a very special moment for me and I want to thank all my team-mates who have helped me reach this figure. I also want to thank the fans who always support us. We will try to continue to give the best for Argentina,” said the PSG player after the match against Panama.
Curacao, on the other hand, is winless in their last four matches in all competitions. Last time out, they lost 2-0 to Canada in the CONCACAF Nations League, thanks to goals from Jonathan David and Cyle Larin in the first half.
This result ensured that Remko Bicentini’s team finished third in Group C of the CONCACAF Nations League, which was just enough for a place in the preliminary round of the upcoming Gold Cup. Their last win came against Honduras in the Nations League match in June last year.
Argentina is of course the favorite to win again in this match, considering their quality and experience which is far superior to Curacao.
FIFA coach of the year 2022, Lionel Scaloni has no serious injury problems ahead of this game. However, there is one player whose readiness is still doubtful, namely Angel Di Maria. The Juventus player only came on as a late substitute against Panama due to a muscle problem. He still has to undergo medical tests to find out whether he can start from the start or not.
Therefore, Scaloni is likely to do a lot of player rotations to give opportunities to players who rarely play or have just been called up to the national team. Some names that can enter the starting XI include Paulo Dybala, Lautaro Martinez, Leandro Paredes and Lisandro Martinez. Meanwhile, youngsters such as Lautaro Blanco, Facundo Buonanotte, Valentin Carboni and Maximo Perrone could make their debuts.
Apart from Messi, who is definitely the key to attack, Argentina’s key player in this match is Paulo Dybala. The AS Roma striker has not played much for the national team due to injuries and competition from other players. However, it is predicted that Scaloni can take advantage of the former Juventus player who is able to score goals from distance, pass accurately and move swiftly.
Meanwhile, Curacao will try to put up as much resistance as possible and rely on the likes of Cuco Martina, Juninho Bacuna and Brandley Kuwas to create chances. However, Kuwas is still doubtful to play due to injury and had to be withdrawn against Canada. The former Al Nassr FC club player who now plays at Giresunspor FC still has to undergo further examination to find out whether he can play or not.
