Argentina are back in action in Copa America 2021 this week as they lock horns with Uruguay at the Estadio Nacional de Brasilia on Friday. The two South American rivals have named impressive squads for the tournament and will need to win this game.
Uruguay are yet to play a match at Copa America 2021 and will face a stern litmus test against Argentina. The Uruguayans have a robust and balanced outfit and are in the running to win the trophy this year.
Argentina, on the other hand, were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Chile in their first game of the tournament. La Albiceleste have some of the most lethal attacking players in the world in their ranks and cannot afford to drop points in this fixture.
