Argentina has the chance to flex its muscles before the World Cup commences when facing Honduras in a pre-tournament friendly on Saturday.
Unlike their opponents, who have failed to reach the World Cup for a third successive time, Argentina is stepping up its preparations for the competition. Desperate to become only the third nation to defend its title, La Albiceleste carry with them lofty expectations.
Any hiccups during its two upcoming friendlies would be a surprise given the caliber of opposition it faces, and Argentina will want emphatic victories to ensure it enters the tournament at peak confidence levels.
Lionel Scaloni’s men have won their last five across all competitions and even without Lionel Messi, who sits out the Honduras game as an injury precaution, they should waltz to a win on Saturday.
