Argentina lineup vs. Colombia: Predicted XI for 2024 Copa America final

Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni could name an unchanged starting lineup for Monday's 2024 Copa America final against Colombia at Hard Rock Stadium in Florida.

The defending champions secured a 2-0 victory over Canada in the semi-finals on Wednesday, keeping their fourth clean sheet of the tournament in five matches.

Shot-stopper Emiliano Martinez, on course to win the Golden Glove award, will remain between the sticks, protected by a back four of Gonzalo Montiel, Cristian Romero, Lisandro Martinez and Nicolas Tagliafico.

Angel Di Maria has confirmed that he will retire from international football after Monday's final and the 36-year-old is in line to make his 145th and final appearance for Argentina from the start, occupying the right side of a four-man midfield, with Alexis Mac Allister the most likely to continue on the left.

Scaloni is expected to stick with Enzo Fernandez and Rodrigo De Paul in centre-midfield, although Giovani Lo Celso and Exequiel Palacios will be looking to force their way into the first XI.

Eight-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi overcame a leg injury to play the full 90 minutes against Canada, scoring a record-breaking goal in that victory, and the 37-year-old will start as captain in attack alongside Julian Alvarez, meaning that Golden Boot-chasing Lautaro Martinez - who has scored a tournament-high four goals - is set to begin as a substitute once again.

Argentina possible starting lineup: E. Martinez; Molina, Romero, Li. Martinez, Tagliafico; Di Maria, De Paul, Fernandez, Mac Allister; Messi, Alvarez
