There are some security issues that threaten to dispute this party, as the battle between Israeli and Palestinian forces causes tensions in the area. If the local conflict is not resolved, this match may be canceled! Leo Messi is in good shape and comes after a decisive goal scored in the friendly won by Argentina in front of big rival Brazil, score 1-0. Messi just returned after a 3-month suspension, received after he suspected that the trophy won by Selecao at the Copa America was “arranged”, sparking a major scandal in South America.

On a sports level, Argentina has been encouraging lately, such as 6-1 with Ecuador, 4-0 with Mexico and even a 2-2 away with Germany. Uruguay has not lost five consecutive matches in all competitions, succeeding with Hungary (2-1), Peru (1-0) and Costa Rica (2-1), all in friendly. Two other games were concluded on a draw, with scores 1-1, also with Peru and the USA.

Interestingly, the last three matches between Argentina and Uruguay ended with low scores: a draw 0-0 in 2017, respectively two victories with 1-0 for “cougars”, in 2016 and 2015. Slow and sure, the coach Lionel Scaloni He gained his respect after replacing Jorge Sampaoli on the Argentine bank, and the duel with veteran Oscar Tabarez will be very interesting tactical masterpiece. For 13 years on the Uruguayan bank, Tabarez will not leave any details at will, at the match in Israel.

Argentina does not have the injured Di Maria, Icardi and Pereyra, all being injured, but there is enough quality in Scaloni’s lot for a quality game. With Suarez and Cavani in the first “11”, Uruguay should give a tailored reply, in a duel of pride.
