8 time Ballon D' Or winner Lionel Messi will look to again be the focal point in attack for the Albiceleste, his club form will be encouraging as he has 7 goals in his last 5 club matches.
Messi's threat will also be a key factor as in his last 5 matches he has managed 24 total shots with at least 2 on target per game.
What will be key for Scaloni is how Messi's shot creating actions(his carries and passes- averaging at least 5 a game) will augment the rest of the teams attackers, cue Thiago Almada, Nico Paz and Inter Milan top man Lautaro Martinez.
In defense, Argentina will bank on the form of Christian Romero who has started all his club's league games and the Uefa Super Cup, where he chipped in with a goal.

Rafael Romo in goal will be key for the Venezuelan's to get something out of the game.
Experienced Salomon Rondon who plays for Spanish side Real Oviedo will be looked up to to end the dismal away scoring record, an area he also struggles in having scored his last goal in a competitive match when Venezuela met Bolivia in a world cup qualifier in July at home.
