- La Albiceleste required extra time to triumph 3-2 over Cabo Verde, surrendering leads twice before advancing, while Egypt enters the clash undefeated this summer.
- Lionel Messi leads the offense with seven goals, while defender Lisandro Martinez supplied crucial contributions against Cabo Verde, and Manager Lionel Scaloni continues relying on veteran midfielder Rodrigo De Paul.
- Nahuel Molina remains an injury doubt with Gonzalo Montiel on standby, though Scaloni confirmed Facundo Medina is fit after experiencing cramp in the 85th minute previously.
