As for Mauritania, they’ll play 4-5-1. Mamadou Diop starts at goal; Brahima Keita, Lamine Ba, Jordan Lefort, and Aly Abeid will play at the back. Maata Magassa, Aboubakary Koita, Beyatt Lekoueiry, Oumar Ngom, and Djeidi Gassama form the five-man midfield. Mamadou Diallo will be the one man up front.
A couple of names are hugely intriguing for Argentina
Nico Paz and Thiago Almada are two young, up-and-coming Argentinian stars that could absolutely thrive in today’s game vs. Mauritiania. Nico Paz is shining and getting plenty of spotlight in Como as the team is one of the revelations of Serie A.
Nicolas Paz of Argentina
As for Almada, he might not have as many minutes in Atletico as Paz has in Como, but he has four goals this season, while being a valuable depth piece in Atletico. However, now he can prove himself by having a starting slot against a lesser opponent.
Mauritania came at the last moment
Argentina were supposed to play the Finalissima against Spain, but when that fell apart, there was not much time to get a new opponent, and most of them were already booked by other friendlies or international competitions. Hence, that’s why Argentina had to settle against Mauritania.
