Lionel Scaloni to use different formation against England

Argentina’s 48-year-old manager is reportedly considering a switch to the 3-5-2 formation against England in the FIFA World Cup 2026 semifinal.

This formation will give the Argentina national football team more room to establish control against the Three Lions. A 4-2-3-1 formation could also be under Saloni’s consideration. With two defensive midfielders, they will be able to establish better control in the midfield.

In the 3-5-2 setup, Lautaro Martinez or Julian Alvarez can be the primary striker and Lionel Messi will act as the second striker. Thiago Almada can be on the left flank and Rodrigo De Paul on the right. Alexis Mac Allister, Enzo Fernandez and Leandro Paredes can work as the primary midfield options.

Cristian Romero, Lisandro Martinez and Nahuel Molina are going to be the first-choice backline for Lionel Scaloni. Emiliano Martinez will be set to be the main man between the sticks.
