The tactical read
Argentina typically set up in 4-4-2 and make their first change around minute 63 - roughly 5 substitutions per game. Expect the first-sub window around then, earlier if they're chasing the game.
Over the last 6 matches, the same shape held up in 3 of them. The quickest hook came at 44' away at Spain; the longest wait stretched to 78' at home to Switzerland.
They've won more than they've lost across these 6 matches (5-0-1) - a manager riding momentum tends to stick with what's working, so don't expect wholesale changes to the plan.
