Match Analysis
Argentina are favourites over Switzerland at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. Their comeback from 0-2 down against Egypt showed elite mentality, and Messi, Lautaro, Enzo and Romero give Argentina quality in every phase. Switzerland are extremely organised and have a proven penalty-shootout route after beating Colombia, but come off 120 minutes plus penalties with Manzambi injured. Medium confidence.

- 2Switzerland come off 120 minutes plus penalties with Manzambi injured — recovery is a concern
