Argentina vs Switzerland: Projected Lineups & Formations
Predicted XIs · Key storylines · Betting impact
🇦🇷 Argentina — Projected Starting XI
Lionel Scaloni has no confirmed absences heading into this quarterfinal — a fully healthy 26-man roster. The only genuine question is whether Julián Álvarez's industrial running or Lautaro Martínez's physical presence gets the nod alongside Messi, with most previews leaning toward Lautaro. Facundo Medina, who came off the bench against Egypt carrying a knock, could return at left-back if fully fit, pushing Tagliafico to the bench.
🇨🇭 Switzerland — Projected Starting XI
Murat Yakin's biggest selection headache is resolved, if not happily — Johan Manzambi has been officially ruled out for the second straight knockout match with a knee injury that never fully healed. Ruben Vargas, who scored the winning penalty in the Colombia shootout after a bright cameo off the bench, is the leading candidate to start in his place. There's also mild uncertainty at left-back (Ricardo Rodríguez vs Miro Muheim) and in the deeper midfield role (Ardon Jashari vs Djibril Sow).
