Argentina - Italy 
Argentina had many ups and downs in the qualifying round of the Latin American group, but in the end they managed to get the direct ticket to the World Cup finals. Finished in the third place of the group with 28 points, the decisive victory was with Ecuador - Argentina 1-3 with a hat trick by Messi. He finally took the hand of his National team and puts his bow for big things in the stadiums of Russia. It is in a group that is definitely the favorite, between Iceland, Croatia and Nigeria. In previous friendlies last November, Albiseleste beat Russia 0-1, while losing 2-4 to Nigeria in a match that again caused a lot of problems. In these two friendlies that he will give today with Italy and next match with Spain, the coach Jorge Sampaoli will have the opportunity to settle in several positions, but also persons in the eleven, and mainly for his calls in the mission. The very good striker Dimbala was not called as well as Mauro Icardi. Unlucky stopper Mamana, suffered a cruciate ligament rupture and lost the World Cup. For the first time in the mission with "albiseleste" the 20-year-old forward of Racing Lautaro Martines who is the best there is at the moment in the "land of tango" and scores incessantly. With the player claiming that he has already reached an agreement for a transfer with the Italian Inter. Certainly the big problem for Sampaoli is that there are TOP players available and it is not an easy task in the selections, with his calls provoking every time.
On the other hand, Italy wants to ease the pain of the great failure not to participate in the World Cup finals, as it was eliminated by Sweden in a draw. Ventura was replaced by Luigi Di Biaggio. De Rossi and Chiellini stopped from the "squadra azura", while the emblematic goalkeeper Buffon will immediately retire. Balotelli and Zaza were not called up, while for the first time in the National Team, the juniors Kieza and Koutrone. He will look in every way for the goal - dedication to the undefeated Astori.
Argentina wants to make another excellent World Cup and maybe it's time for it did not make it four years ago. Italy wants to reconstitute. We are talking about two very good teams, at the moment Argentina looks like a click above. I will not follow a point, scoring on both sides in a doubling performance.
