Switzerland will have to maintain defensive discipline against Argentina. After winning possession, they need to launch quick counter-attacks. But honestly, I only see a 25 percent chance of the Swiss pulling off the upset. Argentina plays in a 4-3-3 formation and can use the wings to attack around Switzerland’s defensive block.
Cape Verde and Egypt troubled Argentina with surprise tactics. Instead of sitting in a low block, Cape Verde pressed high, while Egypt relied on counter-attacks through the flanks rather than building everything around Mohamed Salah. Those matches have provided Argentina with important lessons.
England players come through the academy systems, which enables them to adapt quickly to different formations and playing styles. England’s main task will be to reduce the influence of Norway midfielder Martin Odegaard. Declan Rice or Jordan Henderson would likely be up for that role.
