Argentina’s potential opponents in the Under-20 World Cup last 16 | OneFootball

The Argentine National Team secured their spot in the round of 16 of the U-20 World Cup after a 4-1 victory over Australia in Valparaíso. This Saturday, the team led by Diego Placente sealed their place in the next stage as group leaders by defeating Italy 1-0 with a stunning goal from Dylan Gorosito. As a result, in the next stage, La Albiceleste will face one of the best third-placed teams from groups B, E, or F.

Given this scenario, as of today, the team most likely to face the national team is South Korea, which has four points in Group B, the same as Paraguay, which has a better goal difference.

South Africa from Group E and Nigeria from Group F are the other possible opponents. This match would take place on Wednesday, October 8, at 16:30 at the Julio Martínez Prádanos, home of the U of Chile.

Another point to consider is that in Group E, the South Africans have three points, the same as France, which, although having a worse goal difference, is better positioned due to the head-to-head match against the Africans, as the French team won 2-1.

It seems difficult, but if South Africa beats the United States (1st) and the French do not win against New Caledonia (13 goals against), it could happen.
