Match facts

Italy

Italy's last win over Argentina came in the 1982 World Cup, with Marco Tardelli and Antonio Cabrini scoring the memorable goals over 30 years ago.
Italy fell to Sweden in the play-offs, meaning the Azzurri will not be competing at a World Cup for the first time in over half a century.
Gianluigi Buffon has returned to the Italy setup despite recently retiring from international football.

Argentina

Argentina defeated Italy 2-1 the last time these two sides met back in 2013, with Gonzalo Higuain and Ever Banega scoring for Argentina that day.
Jorge Sampaoli has a wealth of attacking talent to choose from and could even afford to leave the likes of Mauro Icardi and Paulo Dyabala at home this time.
Forward Gonzalo Higuain has been recalled to the squad following fine form in recent weeks.

Predictions

Sampaoli will be eager to get his World Cup preparations up and running with a positive result against a fellow global power house, and with arguably the best forward line in international football all fit at the same time, neutrals at the Etihad Stadium could be in for a real treat.

Final Score – 1 : 2

We're not playing in the world cup so we may as well try our best here even though it's a friendly lol
