Argentina will host Uruguay in an international friendly on Friday, 13 November 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 23:00 GMT. The meeting brings together two South American nations with a long-standing place in world football history, and both sides are expected to use a 4-4-2 formation.
Argentina
Argentina could line up in a traditional 4-4-2 designed to provide balance and defensive security. A back four would be supported by a midfield capable of adding numbers centrally while also contributing from the flanks, with two forwards expected to offer complementary options in attack.
That structure would allow the Albiceleste to try to control the tempo, while remaining dangerous during transitions and looking to make the most of their opportunities inside the Uruguay penalty area.
Argentina’s probable XI
Goalkeeper: Emiliano Martinez
Defenders: Agustin Giay, Lisandro Martinez, Nicolas Tagliafico, Facundo Medina
Midfielders: Enzo Fernandez, Alexis Mac Allister, Nicolas Gonzalez, Franco Mastantuono
Forwards: Lautaro Martinez, Julian Alvarez
Uruguay
Uruguay are also expected to adopt a 4-4-2, a system suited to the combative identity associated with the Celeste. Diego Forlan’s side could look to operate with two compact and aggressive banks of four, limiting the available space and applying pressure in midfield.
The visitors may also seek to exploit the pace of their forwards on the counter-attack, offering a direct threat when possession is won against Argentina.
Uruguay’s probable XI
Goalkeeper: T. Cardozo
Defenders: N. Nandez, S. Mourino, J. Gimenez, J. Piquerez
Midfielders: R. Zalazar, E. Martinez, R. Bentancur, Maxi Araujo
Forwards: Fede Vinas, Darwin Nunez
