The team led by Lionel Scaloni is now the longest undefeated team in the world. In all, Argentina have been unbeaten in 25 matches since a 2-0 loss to Brazil in the 2019 Copa America semi-finals.

With a capacity of 40,700 people, it is located on a highway on the outskirts of the capital and will have 75% of the stands occupied by the restrictions imposed by the Uruguayan Football Association ( AUF).
Dybala and Suarez

Luis Suarez also draws attention to see what he will do against Argentina, a frequent opponent in his career and cause for concern due to the burden of the ‘saviour’ role he will have to play due to the many embezzlement in his team. The main victims in Uruguay are Edison Cavani, Nicolas de la Cruz, Sebastian Coates, Federico Valverde, Giorgian de Arrascaeta, Darwin Nunez, Maximiliano Gomez and Matías Vina. Goalkeeper Muslera suspects a crooked finger.
