Argentina VS Colombia: Revenge against Sri Lanka, 6 players, genius star leads, Spider charges

12:03am, 11 June 2025【Football】

At 8 a.m. on June 11, the 16th round of the South American World Cup qualifiers will be staged, with the Argentina team led by Messi facing the powerful Colombia team at home.

In the just-concluded round of the 15th game, Argentina did not disappoint the fans who liked them, and defeated Chile 1:0 away, winning 11 World Cup qualifiers. In this way, after the first 15 rounds, Argentina team won 11 wins, 1 draw 3 losses and had 34 points, and had already secured a seat to advance to the 2026 World Cup three rounds ahead of schedule. Therefore, this round of match against Colombia is more like a merely unspoken battle for Argentina.

Past confrontations data show that in the last 8 confrontations, the two teams have a match that is difficult to tell the difference, both have 2 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses. It is worth mentioning that in the first leg of this World Cup qualifier, Argentina lost 1:2 to Colombia away. Therefore, when he returned to his home court and played against Colombia, the Argentina still shouldered the mission of revenge. Although he has obtained the right to qualify in advance, in order to get revenge, I believe that the Argentine team will not take it lightly in this game, and will definitely use the elite main players to play as much as possible.

In the goalkeeper position, naturally the main goalkeeper Damian Martinez continues to guard the team's goal; on the defense line, if nothing unexpected happens, coach Scaloni will still use his usual four-guard formation, and the four defenders who will be the starter will be Taliafico, Valerdi, Romero and Molina. Among them, Valerdi and Romero serve as the double central defender combination; while Taliafico and Molina will serve as the full-back on the left and right. In terms of midfield, there is no doubt that the main midfielder who is responsible for interception and stealing in the Argentina midfielder will be Atletico Madrid midfielder DePaul; and the one who partnered with DePaul to form a double midfielder should be the midfielder Palacios who plays for the Bundesliga pharmaceutical factory. In front of the two midfielders, the 20-year-old Argentine genius star Nico Pas is expected to be in the frontcourt strategy and serve as the team's frontcourt commander; the two wing attackers who support Nico Pas should be Thiago Almada and Giuliano Simeone. On the forward line, if nothing unexpected happens, the "Little Spider" Julian Alvarez, the hero of the last round of offense, will continue to charge for Argentina in the frontcourt. As for the six major players including Messi, Lautaro Martinez, Paredes, Enzo, Otamendi, and Nicholas Gonzalez, they may be hidden at the same time. Depending on the situation, they will decide whether they can play in the second half as a substitute.

According to the above analysis, it is expected that Argentina's starting lineup against Colombia in this game are: Damian Martinez; Tagliafico, Valerdi, Romero, Molina; De Paul, Palacios; Nico Pas, Thiago Almada, Giuliano Simeone; Julian Alvarez
