A team that will arrive to Qatar 2022 with high hopes will be the Argentinian squad. They cruised past the South American qualifiers, so they now appear as a top candidate for most. Of course, head coach Lionel Scaloni already released the final 26-man roster that will try to take the title. It could be an important game for him in his quest to find Giovani Lo Celso’s replacement in the midfield. Argentina will share group C with Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland.
As for the UAE the importance of the match will be lower since they won’t be in Qatar 2022. They had a decent performance in the Asian Football Confederation qualifiers, finishing third in group A. That meant they had to play a game vs Australia to determine who was going to compete in a playoff matchup with a South American side. Unfortunately for them, they lost 2-1.
