Sports Mole previews Wednesday's International Friendlies clash between Jamaica and Argentina, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.
Sports Mole

Jamaica take on Argentina in an international friendly match in New Jersey, USA, on Tuesday.

This is Argentina's penultimate warm-up match ahead of the winter World Cup in Qatar, which begins in November.


Match preview

Jamaica, meanwhile, have only ever qualified for one World Cup in their entire history, when finishing third in Group H in 1998.

Former Iceland boss Heimir Hallgrimsson has been tasked as the man to end that barren run, having been appointed as Jamaica's new manager less than two weeks ago.

The 55-year-old clearly has a track record after guiding his home nation to the quarter-finals at Euro 2016, before falling at the group stage at the last World Cup in Russia, which was Iceland's first ever appearance in the competition.

Hallgrimsson will be hoping to make an immediate impact in his first game in charge on Tuesday, then, but will be acutely aware that he has been handed one of the biggest possible challenges on the international stage in the form of facing Argentina.

Indeed, Argentina's 3-0 win against Honduras in Miami on Friday was their sixth win in seven matches, making them one of the most in-form nations heading into the World Cup.

Lautaro Martinez got his side up and running by breaking the deadlock in the 16th minute, before Lionel Messi's penalty on the stroke of half-time essentially ended the match as a contest.

The Paris Saint-Germain man, who will be hoping to follow in Diego Maradona's footsteps by captaining La Albiceleste to their first World Cup triumph since 1986, continued his flourishing form of late by scoring a delightful chip in the 69th minute.

Lionel Scaloni's have an unscheduled friendly against United Arab Emirates ahead of their opening game against Saudi Arabia in Qatar, but the 44-year-old will be urging his players to continue their winning streak in their last game for almost two months.

Team News

Gregory Leigh has picked up an injury for Ipswich Town, and the left-back has been replaced by Ricardo Thomas in the squad for the friendly against Argentina.

It will be interesting to see which formation and starting XI Hallgrimsson selects in his first game in charge, with Premier League stars Michail Antonio, Bobby-Cordova Reid, Leon Bailey and Jamal Lowe all hoping to have their services called upon.

Scaloni, meanwhile, may make a few changes, with Cristian Romero and Angel Di Maria both likely to start having been unused against Honduras.

Enzo Fernandez earned his first international cap from the bench during the 3-0 victory, and the Benfica midfielder will be hoping to make his first start for his country.

Jamaica possible starting lineup:
Barnes; Mariappa, Lowe, Brown, Bell; Stewart, Russell; Reid, Morrison, Bailey; Antonio

Argentina possible starting lineup:
Rulli; Montiel, Romero, Otamendi, Tagliafico; De Paul, Fernandez, Lo Celso; Messi, Martinez, Di Maria


We say: Jamaica 1-4 Argentina

Jamaica undoubtedly have some talented attacking players to build around, so we would not be surprised to see them score against Argentina on Tuesday.

However, it may take Hallgrimsson time to implement the defensive organisation that he managed to do with Iceland, with the likes of Messi and Martinez licking their lips at the prospect of adding to their international goal tallies.
