Argentina, the Champions of the World, are back in action. They will start their journey tomorrow in the Qualifiers of the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026, which will take place in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The Albiceleste will host Ecuador at Estadio Mâs Monumental in the capital of Argentina. Before the Qatar World Cup, Argentina were in a 36-game unbeaten streak. But Saudi Arabia snubbed their unbeaten run as they defeated the Albiceleste in their opening game. However, Argentina responded strongly after this defeat and didn't lose a single game to win their third World Cup.

How will be Argentina's Lineup Against Ecuador?

All the players have returned to the National Team's camp ahead of the Qualifiers. We've seen how potent Argentina's team combination is. From defense to attack, Argentina have been maintaining the best. Match Preview: Argentina VS Ecuador - Prediction & Odds image Lionel Messi, the greatest of all time, is having an unbelievable time with Inter Miami in MLS. The LM10 has scored 11 goals and eight assists in his 11 appearances for Inter Miami. In addition, David Bekham's Inter Miami haven't lost a single game since they signed Lionel Messi. Messi is not the only one doing well this year. Julian Alvarez, Lautaro Martinez, and Angel Di Maria are also shining. Alvarez has started all the games this season for Man City, while Lautaro Martinez has scored five goals in his three matches for Inter Milan in Serie A this season. The Qatar World Cup has blessed Argentine midfield duo, Enzo Fernandez and Mac Allister. They both are now playing in the world's toughest league, English Premier League. Therefore, Argentina's boss Lionel Scaloni will deploy them in the midfield with Rodrigo De Paul. Romero and Otamendi were the regular starters for Argentina in the Qatar World Cup. The manager is likely to keep them against Ecuador tomorrow. The Possible Lineup for Argentina: E Martinez; Molina, Romero, Otamendi, Tagliafico; De Paul, Mac Allister/Enzo, Alvarez; Messi, L Martinez, Di Maria The Possible Lineup for Ecuador: Galindez; Preciado, Torres, Arboleda, Pacho, Estupinan; Plata, Caicedo, Gruezo, Mena; Valencia

Scaloni's Press Conference

Argentina's manager Lionel Scaloni had a press conference ahead of the game against Ecuador. He prefers to keep the squad the same as the previous game. Scaloni said, "I have defined the team, it is not going to change much from what the last games were. We changed little because they don't give me reasons to change it. We can always have a surprise, especially seeing that Ecuador is a good team, with a coach who makes them play well and there are some precautions that have to be taken. Based on that, the team can change tomorrow but they will almost always be the same."

Prediction: Argentina 4-0 Ecuador

Argentina have been an unstoppable side. They are now one of the most balanced teams in the world. Argentina have the world's most deadliest strikers and wingers to destroy any team. Therefore, it will be very difficult for Ecuador to beat Argentina at their home.
