Team News
Brazil will be without striker Gabriel Jesus after he was given a
two-game suspension for a dangerous high tackle in their win over
Chile.
In Jesus' absence, they have a new vital attacking component in Lucas Paqueta, who has scored the winning goal in each of their knockout triumphs so far.
He'll be there to back up talisman Neymar, who has two goals and three assists in five Copa America games this year.
At the other end of the pitch, Marquinhos and Thiago Silva should continue to work together in the back four after keeping two clean sheets in a row to help the Selecao reach the final.
Ederson, who was picked over Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson in the knockout stage, will continue to line up behind them.
Lionel Messi, Argentina's talisman, will lead his country into the final on a high note, having scored four goals and provided five assists in six games in this year's tournament.
Lautaro Martinez, who has scored in each of their past three games, will join him in attack.
Sergio Aguero, the new Barcelona striker, has been left out of the starting lineup, with Nicolas Gonzalez, Alejandro Gomez, and Angel Di Maria vying for the left-back spot.
Rodrigo De Paul, Leandro Paredes, and Giovani Lo Celso, the Argentinian midfield trio, have been particularly good in this tournament, and they should all start in the final to keep the Argentinian side balanced.
Emiliano Martinez of Aston Villa has put up some impressive performances at the Copa America, and he will continue to start in goal behind a back four that has been constantly changed during the tournament.
