The goalkeeper of the Albiceleste, Dibu Martínez, will be out for this match due to an inflammation of a nerve in his right knee. He will be replaced by Franco Armani this afternoon.

Scaloni's Argentina National Team has qualified for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where they finished the CONMEBOL qualifying round in second place only behind Brazil. They finished the qualifying round undefeated with 39 points.

They have arrived! Both Argentina and Estonia are already in Pamplona, at the El Sadar Stadium for the match that is minutes away. 

 

Argentina and Estonia have no record of previous meetings, so this will be their first match against each other.

The stadium that will host this match will be El Sadar, which is located in the city of Pamplona, Spain. This stadium is home to Osasuna, a LaLiga club. It has a capacity for a little more than 23 thousand spectators.

 

We are just under an hour away from the start of the friendly match between Argentina and Estonia.

Erik Sorga | Is Estonia's star player. This 22-year-old center forward is one of the offensive leaders of the Estonian national team. His current club is VVV-Venlo of the Netherlands and both in his team and in his national team, he is used as a winger on both wings. He has played 18 official games for the Estonian senior national team and has scored 4 goals. Although his position is as a center forward, he is a player who contributes from the wings and also likes to give filtered passes to his teammates.

 

Lionel Andrés Messi | It could not be more than the Argentine star who is an idol in his national team. At 34 years of age, these could be the last matches for the current Paris-Saint Germain player and Messi, who has won practically everything, wants the icing on the cake in his career: the World Cup. Lionel continues to prepare for what could be his last World Cup and has been a factor in the CONMEBOL qualifiers as well as in friendly matches. The albiceleste's 10th jersey comes from a great game against Italy where he shined with passes, dribbles and an assist in the second goal. Undoubtedly, he will be one of the most outstanding players for this match against Estonia.

 

Karl Hein, Märten Kuusk, Mattias Käit, Vladislav Kreida, Erik Sorga, Sergei Zenjov, Vlasiy Sinyavskiy, Konstantin Vassiljev, Joonas Tamm, Robert Kirss, Karol Mets.

The referee for this Argentina vs Estonia match is yet to be confirmed.

On the other hand, the Estonian National Team, coached by Thomas Haberli, is one of the most modest teams of the European continent, it has never qualified to a World Cup and will have the complicated task of facing one of the favorite teams to lift the trophy in Qatar. This match will serve as preparation for the UEFA Nations League, which is being played during this European league break. In their most recent match, Estonia earned a 2-0 win over San Marino last Thursday with Kirss and Tamm scoring in the first half. 

 

The Argentine team coached by Lionel Scaloni, will close its tour this Sunday against a European rival that starts as a victim in this confrontation. Argentina's unbeaten streak continues to grow and they have already accumulated 32 matches without defeat, after this great record of results, the Albiceleste has positioned itself as one of the teams to win the World Cup. Prior to this match against Estonia, Argentina met at Wembley to face Italy in the 'Finalissima' (UEFA-CONMEBOL Champions Cup). The match ended in a wide and convincing victory for the South Americans, where Messi was the protagonist. Thus, Scaloni's pupils were crowned at Wembley Stadium and thus had one more official trophy in their trophy cabinets. 

 

The friendly match between the Argentina National Team and the Estonia National Team will be played at the El Sadar Stadium, in the city of Pamplona, Navarra, Spain. Kick-off is scheduled for 3:00 pm (ET).

We are ready for the soccer break of the local leagues around the world, however, there is a lot of activity in terms of friendly matches and this afternoon, we will have a very attractive match that will face two teams; one from UEFA and the other from CONMEBOL. The Argentine National Team is the favorite in this match and will be looking for a victory to continue with its preparation matches towards the Qatar World Cup and this time it will face the Estonian National Team in the old continent. A great match awaits us today between both teams.
