Next Friday, June 28, at the Jornalista Mário Filho Stadium in Maracana, Argentina vs. Venezuela will face each other in the quarterfinals of the C opa América and will be televised by Public TV, TyC Sports and DirecTV Sports.
The winner of this interesting encounter will go against Brazil or one of the two third that will be defined tomorrow, will be Paraguay or the third of group C (Japan or Ecuador).
The Venezuelan team qualified this Saturday to the quarterfinals of the Copa America after defeating Bolivia 3-1, while the selection of Argentina did this Sunday by defeating Qatar 2-0, so these two teams will face each other for the second time.
Argentina had a tough loss to Venezuela in Madrid 3-1 with goals from Rondón, Murillo and Josef Martínez. Argentina's only goal came from Lautaro Martínez.
The Venezuelan team will have a tough mission against the Argentines, who although they have not shone greatly, are still a tough rival to their star Messi.
Next Friday, in the quarterfinals of the Copa América-2019, Rafael Dudamel's Venezuelan team, with 'Pacho' Maturana as advisor, will cross paths with Lionel Scaloni's Argentina and five-time Golden Ball winner Lionel Messi.
Possible changes in Argentina's national team
Germán Pezzella would return to the starting team in place of Juan Foyth and Marcos Acuña would do the same for Giovani Lo Celso.
Pezzella is already recovered from the overload in one of his calves, which marginalized him from the duel against Qatar, and that caused the entry of Foyth. He would enter to make a duo with Nicolas Otamendi. Acuña would have to do with his good work in the previous match, instead of a lackluster
Argentina's national team line-up
Franco Armani, Renzo Saravia, Germán Pezzella, Nicolás Otamendi, Nicolás Tagliafico; Rodrigo De Paul, Leandro Paredes, Marcos Acuña; Lionel Messi, Lautaro Martínez and Sergio Kun Agüero.
Venezuela's national team line-up
Fariñez; Ronald Hernández, Chancellor, Del Pino, Roberto Rosales; Junior Moreno; Savarino, Añor, Rincón, Machís; Rondón.
My prediction
Should win Venezuela 2 - 1
